I would like to thank you for all of the advice and mentoring you have given me over the past year or so. I have been offered a position on the board of a resources company.
I don't normally do endorsements, but one of my staff members went through David's programs and found a Board position of her dreams. She couldn't be happier and on the road to building a board career over time. For her, it was a great investment.
I'm very happy with the results I've achieved this year and thank you for your help and training in getting me there.
Fantastic! Focussed on the Journey to an appointment rather than just being reactive.
How do I know the Board CV was a catalyst to my appointment? Because I asked what attracted their attention to me, to which they responded, the style, format and clearly articulated content of the CV.
Just a quick message to let you know that I gained a governance role by using a number of your tips on how to do research on organisations from the training series. They were a great help in preparing for the interviews.

Gaining a Board Appointment should be a process – a system of goals, habits & execution.
Most people go about finding or pursuing a board appointment all wrong. They put most of their effort in the wrong place, and when that doesn’t work they do the same again. They then get frustrated, fail to obtain their goals and quit. If this sounds familiar, then it is likely you are doing one of these three things wrong!
- Aspiration – Knowing what sort of role you want AND can be appointed to is essential. Regardless of your skills or experience, this session defines the roles that are right for you.
- Articulation – Writing your board profile that addresses the 5 key criteria that a chair is looking for and then how to articulate it.
- Application – There are only four ways you are going to gain a board appointment. This session outlines them all so you can replicate what successful NEDs do and spend your time effectively.
“If you get each of these 3 pillars right, you should realistically expect to obtain a board appointment within 12 months”
We have developed a complete process or framework that focuses entirely on these 3 pillars. It ensures that one addresses and challenges each of the 3 pillars with practical and executable steps, routines and proven board ready documents.
The framework of the Board Appointment Coaching Program is proven to GET RESULTS
