A little COO story...
I never planned on being a COO. It just happened.
Okay, I guess I was a pretty good leader coming up through the ranks. I had a knack for process thinking, breaking down big problems into bite-sized pieces, and getting things done! On many days, I was the go-to person. People came to me with their problems - lots of problems. In some ways, I was like a camp counselor. Minus the campfire.
Now that I think about it, there were always fires. And I was great at thinking on my feet and putting those fires out.
Then came the BIG Promotion: I became a COO!
Was I ready? For sure! I just needed to read the COO Manual.
Then, I found out. There is no COO Manual.
What do I do next? Who do I turn to? Where do I find answers to my questions?
Heads down, I hit the grind. I'll figure this out. I was made for this job, right?
Every day I have to perform at my very best, regardless of what new challenges get thrown my way. I am the organizational catch all.
My job is exhausting some days. I feel like I am on an island. Then I think to myself, "someone, somewhere outside these walls must have fresh insights, techniques, or a better way of dealing with these problems!"
Then I found COO Forum. (This could be YOU!)
I felt understood from the very beginning.
From my first meeting, I felt everyone got me. We shared similar challenges. We all knew the language of operations. Better yet, there was always another member that provided a unique insight or question that got me thinking, got me driving better results and even helped me uncover potential landmines.
Sometimes, I am challenged to think differently and consider new alternatives. My blinders come off. And, I get to share my experiences, my thinking and my approach. I contribute to the conversation and support others.
I see improvement in my leadership skills each year of membership. I have delivered amazing results. My confidence is stronger than ever.
These are my people. These are my peers. These are my friends.
Why join COO Forum?

Achieve More in your business.
Achieve More in your career.
You will be better prepared.
You will drive better results.
