Chief of Staff Event in New York hosted by David Nebinski
When: January 22nd 2026
Topic: Scaling as a Chief of Staff
Speaker: Jenna Parker, the Chief of Staff at Healthie
Focus: networking, peer-to-peer learning, community, professional development
Here are five tips that I took away from Jenna:
advocate for yourself because no one else is truly going to do so for you
if you work remotely, it is extremely important to over-communicate what you are working on, need help with, etc
it is important for you to have 1-1 conversations with your Principal to have a dedicated space to talk about your professional development
if your work stream as a CoS is really spread out across departments, look to see if you could hire someone to support you. Jenna currently has at least two people that report directly to her
the CoS role can be thankless, so document your wins and find a way to celebrate the incredible work you are doing!
