SpringBoard is your complete Board career companion; helping you to get onto Boards and thrive once there.

Aspiring Board Members – people looking for their first Board or their next Board role – come to me wanting to get onto Boards, but either don’t know where to start or have started but aren’t getting anywhere. They may have invested in a governance program but they’re still not on a Board after graduating. They may have a Board Resume but don’t know what to do with it or they have applied to numerous opportunities they found advertised through an email digest they are paying for but have gotten nowhere and don’t know where they are going wrong. Or, others are feeling paralysed – they have the desire to serve on a Board but don’t know what they have to offer a Board or even if they’re good enough for Boards.

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?

Many Board hopefuls take their motivation and start telling everyone ‘Keep me in mind if you hear of any board opportunities.’ They apply to any and every Board opportunity that comes along with the same stock-standard resume and cover letter. And they lean heavily on people in their network to do the heavy lifting for their Board ambitions without any reciprocation.

I don’t have to tell you that’s a broken, energy-heavy, and ineffective strategy.

If you are really serious about getting onto a Board, you have one of two choices to make… the ineffective way that costs you time, energy, valuable relationships, and your reputation…

Or…

You can tap into a tried and proven approach that enables you to create a personalised Board search strategy that will save you time and energy, help you build mutually beneficial relationships, and maintains – or even boosts – your reputation.

The fact that you’re here means that you’re someone aspiring to be on a Board or grow their Board portfolio and that you want to do it in an effective and efficient way, shortcutting the process and avoiding the mistakes that many other aspiring Board Members make.

Imagine joining a program that enables you to achieve your Board goal with ease and in a way that’s authentic to you.

SpringBoard is based on a couple of very simple premises. The first one is this. Getting yourself onto a Board can be broken down into a set of intentional, interdependent actions.

An intentional Board Search strategy requires a different way of being, a different set of thoughts, beliefs, approaches and actions.

The next thing is the approach you take to your Board ambitions determines the results that you receive.

And the third one is the more structure that you have in your Board journey, the further and faster you can achieve your Board goals.

Signing up to a Board opportunity email digest, enrolling into an expensive governance course, or saturating your network with a load of ‘keep me in minds’ does not mean you have a Board search strategy. And what ends up happening is you spend a lot of time and energy reacting and frantic behaviours chasing the next opportunity to land in your inbox. You have just created an exhausting path nowhere.

Through SpringBoard, you’re putting the structure and the actions in place so that you can achieve your Board goals while still living your life. What SpringBoard gives you is a tried-and-proven approach to achieving your Board goals, with the support and guidance needed to ensure you avoid the mistakes and missteps that derail so many aspiring Board Members.
