Managing Up: The Unfiltered Guide for EAs, Chiefs of Staff, and People Leaders
Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2026
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET
About this virtual event
Most people in supporting roles are great at getting things done. The harder part is getting the people above them to actually listen.
Managing up isn't about politics. It's about knowing how to communicate with your executive in a way that moves things forward, protects your time, and builds the kind of trust that makes your job easier and theirs too.
Some EAs and Chiefs of Staff figure this out through trial and error. Others never quite crack it. The difference usually comes down to a handful of habits and mindset shifts that nobody teaches you in the job description.
Joining us is Jeremy Burrows, Sr. EA to the CEO at Capacity, author of The Leader Assistant, and host of The Leader Assistant Podcast, to share what he has learned helping executives and assistants lead well.
In this live session, we'll get into what it actually looks like to manage up with confidence, not just survive the relationship.
Here's what we'll cover:
What managing up actually means and why most people in supporting roles get it wrong
How to communicate with your executive in a way that builds trust instead of creating more back and forth
The boundaries and systems that make high-performing EA and CoS relationships work
How to advocate for yourself, your team, and your ideas without overstepping
It's a candid conversation with someone who has coached hundreds of assistants and executives on what makes these relationships actually work.
If you're an EA, Chief of Staff, People Leader, or anyone who spends a lot of time supporting senior leadership, this one is for you.
Offsite works with People and Operations teams to plan the moments that matter most. This is one conversation we didn't want to miss.
