Are you ready to unlock your board career potential? The time is now. Too often, aspiring board members get stuck in the ‘getting started’ phase. In this episode, I’m breaking down the barriers and providing actionable steps to launch your board journey.
Three steps to starting your Board career:
- Understand the Commitment: Before joining a board, be clear about the responsibilities, time commitment, and personal risks involved. Know the legal and ethical obligations and if you’re comfortable with the interpersonal dynamics of board work.
- Set a Board Goal: Determine the type of board you want to join based on your experience, skills, and aspirations. Don’t overthink this step, but focus on setting a direction for your board search.
- Define Your Unique Value Proposition (UVP): Clearly articulate the value you can bring to a board. This will help you stand out as a competitive candidate and attract suitable opportunities.
