Entering the boardroom and during your first formative years as a board member can be quite overwhelming and confusing. During times like these it helps to have a coach or mentor guiding and supporting you through the wonderful – and sometimes weird – world of being on a board. Coaching and mentoring helps build your confidence so you can step boldly into the boardroom, be a high performing board member, and build a successful board career.

Until I found Lisa I wasn’t sure where to begin with my board career. I knew I needed a board CV, and I knew I needed help because I hadn’t crafted a resume in years, and the only one I had was for my professional career. Working with Lisa was so easy - she was responsive and knowledgeable, and it was obvious that she cared deeply about my board goals and setting myself up for board success. Lisa made a significant difference in my confidence and ability to help myself in the future as I pursue my board goals. I received a high level of value for my investment, and I can strongly recommend engaging Lisa if you’re ready to invest more seriously into your board career.
