chelle templeExecutive Chief of Staff

You have an entire team.So why does it still feel like you’re carrying this alone?

You don’t need more people. You need someone beside you. I’m Chelle, the Executive Chief of Staff founders bring in when it’s all still landing on them.

Think of me as the second-in-command you'd hire if your business had an executive team. It doesn't yet. So I sit beside you, find what’s really holding things up, help you make the call, and then lead everything it touches.

Let's talk

Fractional Chief of Staff for founder-led coaching, education, and creator businesses.

A little less on your shoulders

Sound familiar?

You built the systems.
You hired the coach.
You integrated AI.

Yet somehow, every road still leads back to your desk.

01

Your Slack is full of ‘quick questions’ that aren't quick, and every single one needs you.

02

Your team seems to be working hard. You're still not sure who owns what. And honestly, they're not sure either.

03

You sold out the program. Now you're lying awake wondering how on earth you're actually going to deliver it on top of everything else.

04

There's a conversation you've been avoiding for months. You know exactly who it's with.

05

You finally hired someone great to take this off your plate. You gave her all the responsibility and none of the authority. She became the catch-all, burned out, and left. And you're right back where you started.

06

You can't remember the last time you took a day off without checking your phone. Don't lie, you know it's true.

You've probably tried to fix it as a systems problem, a hiring problem, or a tech problem. Probably more than once. It wasn't any of those.

It's that one person is holding every decision in the business, and that person is you.

You're not failing at this. You've just outgrown doing it alone.

What I do

You lead the vision.
I'll carry everything it touches.

As your Chief of Staff, I’m the senior operator and integrator who runs the business with you, and the person you think out loud with before the big calls. Your team, your numbers, your clients, the launch, the hire, the conversation you keep putting off. I hold it, so you can finally put some of it down.

In their words

“Hiring her will pay for itself multiple times over.”

My business has sold nearly 2 million dollars in coaching since hiring Chelle Temple. She's an operations genius. She listens closely, hears what you are wanting to create but can't quite articulate yourself, and fills in all the little pieces to make it happen. If you get the chance to work with her, do it.

Kendrick Shope

“The best investment you make in your business.”

Chelle is a proactive, initiative-taking backend magician, thoroughly devoted to finding and executing on the most seamless team and customer experience. Within two weeks, she had an enormous platform migration looking polished, professional, and perfectly branded.

A conversation. Not a commitment.

You don't have to have it figured out to reach out.

Most founders start with “I don’t even know how to explain this” or “I’m so tired of fixing the same team problem.” Tell me what’s going on. I’ll listen, and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person to help.
