Where there is a rhythm for strategic priorities to stay visible, accountability flows naturally. That’s why I put such weight on establishing governance rhythms that go beyond reporting, with practical, meaningful check-ins that surface issues before they turn into roadblocks. Proactivity is key. Alignment with stakeholders is critical. Together, this is how I bridge strategy with execution at pace.

The most popular topic from my panel discussion amongst 130 Chiefs of Staff In New York was a game-changer decision-making framework, called RAPID. Apply RAPID framework (Recommend, Agree, Perform, Input, Decide) to get the right people involved, cut through the noise, and drive faster, smarter decisions.

Three tips to deliver a successful leadership offsite.

Thematic offsite tips for strategic focus of your leadership team

Szilvia Kocsy, Consultant and former Chief of Staff at LinkedIn, discussed with Tom Guthrie, President of the Chief of Staff Network how operators can navigate Al's pace, add guardrails, and prepare for career shifts. We discussed:

Al best practices are still early stage: ethics, data controls, and usage policies remain immature; leaders should pilot, document guardrails, and iterate as capabilities evolve.

Al democratizes production, but audiences still seek human perspective and connection; combine human spark with Al scale for resonant outputs.

70% skills shift by 2030: massive change is inevitable; prioritise continuous learning.

Shadow-Al risk management: choose approved tools, set confidentiality rules, and create team champions and hackathons to spread safe, effective habits.

Helping executives gain leverage: use Al to stress-test decisions, mine meeting transcripts for patterns, and tighten enterprise messaging. The result? More clarity in less time.

Workflow rebuilds beat small changes: map current processes, then automate, augment, and amplify.

Put your "mask" on first: automate emails/records/meetings, use Al to strengthen judgments, then focus human time on strategy. Once you've tested the processes, then cascade them with your CEO and team.

The power of community: build peer learning (e.g., Szilvia's Life Mentor Circle to accelerate upskilling and normalise shared Al frameworks across functions.

Speech is 3× faster than typing. So I tested the main AI dictation tools to see which ones actually free up strategic thinking time and how to use each effectively.
