Are you having trouble finding or securing a board seat? If so, you’re likely doing one of four things wrong. During this small-group, online, and interactive session, I will show you what these common mistakes are and, together, by completing three practical steps, how you can overcome these hurdles, unlock your board potential, and secure a board role faster than you thought possible – without relying on recruiters or responding to advertisements.
Specifically, I’ll teach you my simple, proven, and easy-to-implement 3-step process that thousands of people have used to:
- find board vacancies no one else can,
- find opportunities better suited to them and their skill set,
- secure board appointments more often, and
- ensure a greater return on the investment of their valuable time, or simply
- get started when the process seems overwhelming.
Who is this event for?
This global event is for anyone who wants to pursue a board appointment (paid, voluntary, commercial, government, or charity) and needs a practical framework to follow that almost guarantees a board appointment. No matter where you live, your skills or experience level, the scale of your board aspirations, or whether you want to secure your first board seat, a subsequent board role, or develop a board career, this event is for you. I guarantee it*
