Fix the Constant Calendar Chaos for C-Suite Leaders

Description

What is the Fix the Constant Calendar Chaos course about?

Every week starts with at least one major conflict: overlapping board meetings, forgotten time zones, or a key stakeholder locked out of the CEO’s time. Despite meticulous effort, last-minute changes cascade through the week, triggering rework on travel plans, briefing packs, and comms alignment. The calendar is never truly 'locked', and that uncertainty creates downstream friction across teams.
