Student Leadership Advisory
The Infastructure Behind Every Future Executive
Student HQ
Executive HQ™ Student Division | CU Boulder Leadership Coaching
Most students chase success. Few learn how to lead.
Inside Executive HQ™, you’ll develop the emotional intelligence, executive presence, and decision-making strategy that transform ambition into authority. Built for the next generation of leaders — especially ambitious women and emerging professionals at CU Boulder.
Led by Chloé Miller, MA, and Hayley Miller, Executive HQ™ provides private leadership coaching, Identity Architecture™, and digital protection for students in Boulder and nationwide who want to lead with confidence before they graduate.
THE STUDENT HQ PHILOSOPHY
The Bridge Between Campus and Career
Textbooks teach knowledge. We teach presence.
At the university level, success is measured by GPA. At Executive HQ™, we measure it by clarity, composure, and influence.
Our Boulder-based Student Division bridges the gap between academic achievement and professional authority — developing the self-awareness, communication, and executive strategy that make opportunity inevitable.
This isn’t career coaching. It’s leadership architecture for the next era of professionals.
Leadership Starts Before the Job Title
Smart leaders start early.
Executive HQ™ partners with CU Boulder students and emerging professionals to teach the intelligence they won’t find in textbooks — emotional fluency, executive presence, and strategic confidence. You’ve invested years in your education. Now it’s time to translate that knowledge into influence. We guide driven students — especially women in business, media, and leadership — to step into professional confidence with clarity and poise.
CU Boulder prepares you for your career.
Executive HQ™ prepares you for your calling.
THE STUDENT LEADERS FRAMEWORK
Private Coaching. Real Strategy. The Intelligence Universities Don’t Teach.
Our three-pillar framework builds the foundation every leader needs before they step into the room. Executive HQ™ offers discreet, high-impact leadership coaching for CU Boulder students and emerging professionals navigating visibility, ambition, and pressure. Our framework builds the three pillars every leader needs before they step into the room.
Identity Architecture
Your résumé gets you the interview. Your identity gets you the offer.
We refine your leadership presence, clarify your professional trajectory, and position your voice with authority — so confidence becomes your competitive edge. Learn more about our Identity Architecture™ methodology.
Executive Psychology
Optimizing performance starts with understanding yourself.
With psychology at the core of our method, you’ll learn to manage stress, regulate under pressure, and sustain clarity in high-stakes environments. We teach you how to think and feel like a leader before the title arrives. This framework mirrors the precision taught in our Corporate Leadership Advisory.
Strategic Communication
Every message signals leadership readiness or signals the lack of competency.
We teach emotional fluency, boundary-setting, and persuasive communication that earns respect in classrooms, interviews, and boardrooms alike. The same communication mastery we bring to our Entrepreneurial Leadership track.
The Student Leaders program is private, strategic, and high-impact — we teach Emotional Intelligent Leadership.
1:1 Student Strategy Sessions

Who This Is For
For Women in Business and Beyond
Ambitious women face unique challenges — self-advocacy, visibility, and confidence in systems that weren’t built for them. At Executive HQ™, those aren’t side conversations — they’re part of the strategy. We create space to build authority that feels authentic, not performative.
Eligible Participants
CU Boulder undergraduates, graduate students, and recent alumni in business, communications, tech, and creative fields — student leaders, entrepreneurs, and future founders ready to step beyond “résumé culture” and lead with authentic authority.
Bring Executive HQ™ to Campus
We partner with CU Boulder classrooms, organizations, and clubs to teach emotional intelligence and strategic leadership in real time. Our Campus Talks merge psychology + strategy to help emerging professionals — especially women — build emotional intelligence and authority early in their careers.
