About Nova
Our founder Maggie Olson created Nova Chief of Staff to meet the needs of current or aspiring business leaders.
Nova’s coaching, consulting, and first-of-its-kind online certification programs are designed from real-world experience to educate and elevate professionals looking to maximize impact.
Our “Why”
Today’s business landscape needs knowledgeable people to fill crucial Chief of Staff (CoS) roles, but there are few accessible resources to learn about and develop the position, let alone practice its responsibilities before the stakes are high.
We launched Nova Chief of Staff to bring more clarity to the important—but often ambiguous—world surrounding an effective CoS, so that people and organizations motivated toward the role can truly shine.
Endorsed by business leaders and past graduates, our portfolio of services:
helps aspiring COS develop and refine critical skills they need to succeed on the job.
supports businesses in building, developing, and refining a successful CoS program.
empowers Executive Assistants with the resources and education to increase impact within their current role.
guides current CoS towards optimizing their potential and abilities, and making the most of their position.
Founded by a credentialed Chief of Staff.
Crafted with the direct experience of our founder and instructor Maggie Olson – the first Chief of Staff to a president at a Fortune 40 company – Nova’s coaching, consulting, and coursework serve the Chief of Staff community to grow and transform leaders, careers, and businesses alike.
