Board Member Coaching & Mentoring

Supporting you through the wonderful - and sometimes weird - world of being on a board.

About Coaching / Mentoring

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.

Everyone’s board goals and journey are unique and personal. That’s why Lisa delivers coaching and mentoring based purely on your needs. Whether it’s a 12-month coaching program in combination with Boardroom Bootcamp; or just a few sessions to help you step confidently into the board role of your dreams, Lisa will be able to provide something just for you.

    Testimonials

    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.
