Episode 45
Thursday, 11 September, 2025
In this episode, I talk with Alison Shekman, Chief of Staff at PhaseWell Research and a member of the CXO Fellows Program. Alison shares her journey from consulting into operations and what it has meant to step into an early-stage, acquisition-driven business. She reflects on slowing down to go fast, listening to frontline experts, and creating systems for prioritization. Alison also discusses lessons from the Shore Resource Team and why embracing iteration over perfection has shaped her approach as a CXO.Key Takeaways:Go slow to go fast by taking the time to understand what motivates people and plan for change so it can be implemented more effectivelyListen first and spend time in the field with the people who know the work best to close knowledge gaps and build credibilityCreate a system for relentless prioritization to bring clarity to the noise and stay aligned with leadership on what matters mostCall it version one, move forward, and keep iterating rather than waiting for perfectionChapters:00:00 - Introduction02:57 - Go Slow to Go Fast05:01 - Closing the Knowledge Gap09:35 - The Value of Networks13:03 - Prioritization and Integration19:47 - Lessons for Young LeadersListen to our podcasts at:https://www.shorecp.university/podcastsYou’ll also find other Bigger.
