<p>How do you earn a CEO&#39;s trust — and what do you see when you finally get in the room? That’s what we’re exploring today on the show with my former Lyft colleague Sean Berry.</p><p>Sean spent many years as an executive assistant to C-suite leaders, including the CEO of Lyft. That means he’s spent years behind the scenes — managing calendars, sitting in high-stakes meetings, reading the room so the room could keep moving. He saw leadership up close, under pressure. He knows what’s up, and he’s got a lot of wisdom to share with us about:</p><ul><li>Maintaining calm and building trust</li><li>What executives are actually like behind closed doors</li><li>The importance of triage and decoding urgency</li><li>Preparing for high-stakes meetings</li><li>The delicate balance between growing in your career and keeping your ego in check</li><li>What Sean is learning now that the adrenaline has slowed down</li></ul><p>No matter where you sit on the org chart, you’ll leave with practical takeaways about how to show up effectively when it matters most.</p><p>Share this with your team or a friend.
