[Roundtable] Unhindered: The Choices That Will Define or Undermine Your Impact in 2026

​You are not starting 2026 with a clean slate.

​You are starting it already carrying things.

​Those things are decisions you have not finished making.

​As a Chief of Staff, unanswered questions or unresolved choices often turn into default behavior. Over time, those defaults shape what your role becomes, how you work with your leader, and how long the work feels sustainable.

​Our first Roundtable of 2026 is meant to slow that down.

​Unhindered is a working session for Chiefs of Staff who want to look directly at one real decision they need to make in the next 30 days. You will bring that decision into the conversation and think it through with peers who understand the role and its pressures.

​This is not training. This is not coaching. It is a practical, peer-led conversation about making better decisions.

​You might be deciding things like:

• ​Do I keep pushing a new initiative or change forward, or do I slow it down until ownership, capacity, and expectations are clear

• ​How do I add basic structure without becoming the person everything gets sent to

• ​Is my role still expanding in influence, or am I slowly being pulled into execution and cleanup work

• ​How much pressure, context switching, and emotional labor can I realistically keep carrying

• ​Do I stay in this role and try to reset it, or do I start planning what comes next

​What you will leave with:

• ​Shared principles that help you see your next move more clearly

• ​Practical ways of thinking you can use right away

• ​Perspective from trusted peers who know the role firsthand

• ​Clearer judgment about what to carry into 2026 and what to leave behind

​If you do nothing, the year will still move forward.

​This Roundtable is a chance to make sure you are moving with it on purpose, not by default.
