​Reclaiming Alignment: Mapping Purpose Through Complexity

​This is the first session of a learning series The Chief of Staff Network is hosting in collaboration with co-founders Michaela Zuckovai and Carl Miller from The Purpose Project.

This event is open to all PRO members of the Chief of Staff Network with limited capacity available for other Chiefs of Staff in our community.

​In 2026, the Chief of Staff role is less about choosing between strategy and operations and more about continuously moving between them. That flexibility is the role’s leverage, but it also creates sustained pressure. Chiefs of Staff are often the first to feel when alignment begins to slip, long before it shows up in metrics, performance issues, or organizational friction.

​This workshop is designed for Chiefs of Staff who are operating inside complexity and want to stay grounded, clear, and effective without absorbing the cost of misalignment themselves. Rather than offering another framework or productivity tool, the session creates space to slow down just enough to notice what is actually happening in your role right now and how purpose functions as real infrastructure under pressure.

​Through guided reflection and an immersive experience, participants will explore how alignment, attention, and decision gravity are shaping their work, and how AI can be used as a thought partner that strengthens judgment rather than accelerating noise.

​In this session, you will explore:

• ​Where complexity and decision pressure are quietly accumulating in your role

• ​How invisible labor and misalignment show up before systems break

• ​What alignment looks like as a practical operating condition, not an abstract value

• ​How noticing earlier creates leverage later

​You will walk away with:

• ​Language for pressures you may have normalized but rarely named

• ​A felt reference point for staying aligned while operating at a high level

• ​One or two small, immediately applicable shifts that reduce friction and protect your energy

• ​A new perspective on using AI to support clarity, judgment, and decision making under pressure

​This is not a problem solving workshop. It is a recalibration for Chiefs of Staff navigating constant change.
