How do you earn a CEO'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.

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:

• Maintaining calm and building trust
• What executives are actually like behind closed doors
• The importance of triage and decoding urgency
• Preparing for high-stakes meetings
• The delicate balance between growing in your career and keeping your ego in check
• What Sean is learning now that the adrenaline has slowed down

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.
