2. What’s the magic to getting invited earlier and more often to the C Suite?
3. What do I have to do to get my boss to actually listen to me?
4. How do I approach my boss if I really disagree with what they’re proposing to do or even what they’ve decided to do?
5. How can I get senior people to consider me as something more than just an order taker every time I enter the room?
6. What do bosses really expect from a staff advisor?
7. How would a CEO define what a trusted strategic advisor really is and does?
