Ep 72: Getting Real About Your Executive’s Calendar
When your Executive’s calendar is bursting at the seams, it’s tempting to feel responsible, like somehow, you should have prevented the chaos. But guilt doesn’t belong in your job description. In this episode, we’re flipping the script on calendar management and giving you the tools to start strategic conversations that lead to real change.
We’re diving into:
- Why it’s so important to talk about time, especially when your Executive is “too busy”
- How to ask subtle, thoughtful questions that spark meaningful reflection
- What to do when your Exec says, “I don’t know,” and how to gently guide the conversation forward
- The real difference between being the calendar manager and being a strategic partner
You’ll walk away with 10 practical conversation starters (and yes, there’s a free template!) to help you uncover what’s really driving the diary, and how to make smarter decisions with your Executive, not just for them.
🎧 Plus, this week’s free download includes a script and toolkit you can use straight away: theeacampus.com/podcast/ep72
Whether your Exec thrives on the hustle or is teetering on burnout, this episode will help you start the conversations that matter.
