Ask a Chief of Staff: AMA with Fractional Operations Leader (Chief of Staff, Integrator, Professional Cat Herder) Kaitlin Strand
Join us on August 5th!
Thinking about stepping into a fractional Chief of Staff or operations role? Wondering how the heck people find clients, set rates, build a sustainable business around being the “#2 for hire”, or simply explain what you do without launching into your resume?
Join us for a casual, candid AMA (Ask Me Anything) session with Kaitlin Strand, Founder of Apricity Ops. Kaitlin’s been working independently for the past three years and brings the kind of honest perspective you don’t always get from polished LinkedIn posts. From finances to scheduling to figuring out your own magic sauce, she’ll share the behind-the-scenes of what this path really looks like, the highs and the low and she’s open to all your questions.
✅ You should attend this session if...
You are a current Chief of Staff wondering what’s next;
You are exploring freelancing or fractional work for the first time;
You are between roles and trying to figure out how to stay sharp and pay the bills;
You are already independent but looking to compare notes with someone further along.
🎟️ Please note, there will be a 100-person limit on this event. If you are unable to attend live, we will send a recording of the event afterwards.
