Welcome to the Get on Board: Realising your Board Potential online workshop. This workshop will develop your personal plan to build the board career you aspire to. We know our approach works – more than 7 of our members at Women on Boards secure a new non-executive role every week. This workshop shares how you can do it too.
This workshop has been specifically designed to simplify governance and, importantly, to refine your board pitch – which is what will aid you in securing the roles.
We will focus on targeting the more competitive and remunerated positions, and how to overcome the ‘experience trap’ if you do not have prior non-executive experience. During the course, we will also consider how to best approach non-executive headhunters.
Specifically, you will be considering:
- the opportunities
- the role, duties and legal responsibilities of a director and protecting yourself as a non-executive director;
- which type of boards will value your skills and align with your goals;
- where to find the opportunities, including how best to approach non-executive headhunters;
- what boards are looking for, in terms of both hard and soft skills;
- your individual boardroom value-add and how to pitch yourself as a prospective NED;
- how you will engage in strategic networking
You will come away from this highly practical session with a personal action plan to secure either your first or subsequent non-executive roles.
We hope you enjoy the course.
