  The Framework     Why This Matters    Program Timeline    Detailed Breakdown

The Framework

This program moves through four phases, building a working structure that lasts well beyond the engagement itself.
Phase What Happens

Assess & Identify

Understand current work habits and alignment between Executive and EA.

Define

Clarify responsibilities, expectations, and decision-making authority.

Establish

Build communication structures and working rhythms.

Track

Monitor progress, consistency, and impact through the remaining weeks.

You're here because theres likely an issue with time. So don't worry, everything will be scheduled for you at a time when you're free!
Additional time is available during this program; there is flexibility in the structure as needs arise.

Why This Matters
Executives can spend up to ~20% of their time on tasks that could be delegated, creating opportunity to use time on high-value work.
CEOs spend ~72% of their time in meetings, increasing the need for structured coordination and prioritization support.
Organizations can free up 20–60% of management time by improving workflows, delegation, and operational structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Executive Leverage Framework?
    The ELF program is an 8-12 week engagement, designed to transform how Executives and EAs work together by strengthening the relationship, sharpening communication, and unlock the full ROI of EA support by protecting and multiplying leadership time.
  • Who participates in the engagement?
    Both the executive and their EA take part, with a blend of joint and individual sessions depending on what’s needed.
  • Will this make our workload heavier?

    No. The intention is to create clarity and reduce friction, not add tasks. Most teams experience immediate relief once systems and expectations are simplified.

  • How to delegate more to an Executive Assistant.

    Start by identifying everything you do that doesn't require you specifically, such as inbox management, scheduling, follow-ups, research, document prep. Hand those off with clear context about what you want and why, then trust the process.
