Nova Chat: The AI Advantage for Chiefs of Staff and Executive Assistants & C-Suite Operators
Struggling to figure out where AI actually fits in your day-to-day work? You’re not alone.
The tools are powerful, but when everything feels possible, it can be hard to know where to start. How do you use AI ethically? Which tools are worth your time? How can you use AI to raise the ceiling on your role, not just automate busywork?
Join us on July 24 for a fast-paced, deeply practical Nova Chat with Fiona Young, founder of Carve AI and trusted trainer to the right hands of leaders like Reid Hoffman and Clara Shih. Hosted by Nova founder Maggie Olson, this conversation is designed to help you actually use AI—without the jargon, overwhelm, or burnout.
Fiona’s specialty? Helping executive support professionals rethink how they work smarter, free up capacity, and grow into more strategic roles using AI. She’ll share her top tactics that EAs and Chiefs of Staff can use right now, plus short, high-impact demos of ChatGPT and Google’s NotebookLM (one of the most powerful tools you’ve probably never used).
You’ll learn:
A “State of AI” check-in—what’s real, what’s hype
Fiona’s favorite unexpected prompt of the month
How to build better prompting habits and avoid burnout
Personal use cases that unlock professional breakthroughs
How to start—ethically, strategically, and without getting stuck
