Big things happening at Chief!
Five years ago, Lindsay Kaplan and I launched Chief out of a small NYC apartment. We heard a lot of nos in those early days. People asked, “Why do women need something like this?” I couldn’t even get a lawyer to agree to let us pay them to work with us. The irony of these reactions was not lost on us. Perceptions like these have consistently held women back in the workforce, and they’re part of what we wanted to address with Chief. But I’d be lying if I said we never felt defeated. And yet, there was one group who continued to say yes — who kept us going through it all. It started with tens, then hundreds, and then thousands of women executives looking for a community of people who just “get it” — reaching the executive level when the odds are stacked against you, being the “only” in the room, and navigating the pressures of a business landscape that’s constantly changing. Now, five years later, Chief has become the largest community of women executives in the U.S. Our mission is to help members be the best leaders they can be. They’ve already reached incredible heights in their careers, and we want to maximize their impact — on their professional growth, on the company and teams they’re leading, and on future generations of leaders. Today, we’re taking a big step toward that mission by introducing a new Chief experience that members can customize based on where they are on their leadership journey. This includes: >> New membership packages — Executive Education, Executive Coaching, Executive Advisory — so they can choose the leadership development format that works for them. >> New community experiences spanning one-day conferences, Professional Chapter gatherings, and bespoke events. >> A dedicated Concierge team to support and guide them to the most relevant resources at any point in their membership. Exceptional leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither are we. Learn more at: www.chief.com
