How To Embrace Leadership Roles Early with Maggie Olson

Welcome to Your Partner In Success Radio with your host Denise Griffitts. Today’s guest is Maggie Olson, founder of Nova Chief of Staff, the leading platform for Chief of Staff education and certification. With 20 years of leadership experience at Nordstrom and T-Mobile, Maggie built the Chief of Staff model from scratch to support thousands of employees and executives. Through Nova, she’s trained hundreds of professionals from top companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Salesforce. Maggie’s career took off in her mid-twenties when she became a Buyer at Nordstrom—a role she’d long dreamt of. While the glamour of the job was exciting, Maggie learned that leadership isn't about making immediate, sweeping changes. Instead, it’s about pacing yourself, understanding your team, and developing the ability to recognize burnout before it takes a toll. As someone who grew her LinkedIn following to 17,000 in less than a year by sharing insights and resources, Maggie is also a great example of how to build influence through leadership and engagement. Her approach focuses on engaging with industry leaders, sharing practical resources, and always thinking from her audience’s point of view—asking, “What do they want to hear? How can I help them?” Maggie can explain how early-career professionals can use these same methods to build meaningful relationships and become trusted voices. In this episode, Maggie will share how to step into leadership early, avoid burnout during rapid career growth, and build trust and influence authentically. She’ll also discuss key insights from the 2024 Women in the Workplace Report and reveal how she balanced building a Chief of Staff team while navigating major life milestones.  Connect with Maggie Olson: Website [https://www.novachiefofstaff.com/] | LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/novachiefofstaff] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/novachiefofstaff/] | Facebook  [https://www.facebook.com/NovaChiefofStaff/] We appreciate you tuning in to this episode of Your Partner In Success Radio with Host Denise Griffitts.
