Board Candidacy

Experience

In 25 years in executive search, I recruited board members for companies in multiple industries, of various sizes and stages of growth, and with different business challenges. I assessed candidates on their board readiness, governance competencies, influencing and consensus building skills, learning agility, and leadership styles. I leverage my deep knowledge of board governance, trends, and best practices in coaching my clients.

I work with senior executives who are seeking their first board position, joining multiple boards, or changing from a not-for-profit, advisory, or private board to a public one. We partner together to position them for target board positions and committees.

Coaching Goals

My clients have a range of coaching goals:

  • Building more consensus
  • Influencing without authority
