Follow The Calendar Story

Stop Looking at Meetings. Start Looking for the Story.

Most assistants look at their executive’s calendar and see meetings. Strategic assistants see priorities, pressures, stakeholder relationships, and what’s coming next. In this interactive 90-minute training, Joan Burge introduces her Calendar Story Framework™, a fresh approach that turns the executive calendar from a scheduling tool into a source of business intelligence.
