Position your experience. Prepare your materials. Build your corporate board candidacy.
Public and private company boards do not evaluate candidates through a traditional resume. Directors, nominating and governance committees, and search professionals look for evidence that a candidate can contribute independent judgment, oversee complex risks, and add value in areas aligned with the board’s current needs.
Get on Board helps senior executives translate operational experience into their value for boards. In this interactive virtual workshop, faculty and corporate Director Coaches provide guided exercises, practical frameworks and feedback in small-group breakout sessions. Participants use structured AI prompts to support developing their value proposition, board profile, and strategic networking approach.
Get on Board is designed for senior executives and experienced leaders who:
Your Board Value Proposition: Identify the experience, results, industry knowledge, and functional expertise that are most relevant to board oversight and long-term value creation.
Your Board Profile: Develop a working draft that is distinct from an executive résumé and highlight board-relevant expertise, measurable career results, and governance experience using searchable keywords.
Your Board-Relevant Narrative: Translate your leadership record into evidence of the judgment and oversight capabilities boards need to govern through strategic, financial, operational, technological, human capital, and risk complexity.
Your Committee and Board Fit: Identify the committees, industries, company profiles, and governance challenges where your experience is most relevant.
A Focused Search Strategy: Use the 50/50WOB company directory, public company disclosures, and AI-supported research prompts to identify and prioritize boards aligned with your qualifications.
Your Strategic Network and Board Service Ask: Identify the directors, executives, advisors, search professionals, and trusted colleagues who can offer perspective or introductions, and develop a credible way to communicate your board goals.
Participants will complete the workshop with:
The women in Get on Board don't need convincing that they belong in the boardroom; they need the tools to make it happen. Coaching in this workshop means working with women at the top of their game, helping them articulate their value-add with the precision and confidence that board searches demand.
