Joining a board can be a transformative step in your professional journey. It’s an opportunity to leverage your skills, contribute to meaningful decisions, and influence your organization’s direction. The “Becoming a Board Member of Value” workshop is designed to equip you with the tools to attract board roles, understand your responsibilities, and contribute effectively to governance.
This workshop is broken down into two parts:
- 3-hour hands-on workshop where you’ll learn actionable strategies for securing board roles, understanding expectations, and delivering value through your unique skills. Through engaging discussions, practical exercises, and real-world insights, you’ll build a strong foundation for effective board participation.
- 2-hour simulated board meeting to put the lessons learned into practice. This realistic exercise will allow you to experience firsthand the dynamics of a boardroom, refine your skills, and apply your knowledge in a collaborative, decision-making environment.
