Make your Resume work for you.

 
Most successful leaders make one critical mistake when pursuing a Board career: they use a traditional professional CV to tell a Board story.
 
A Board Resume is not a historical autobiography. Rather, it is a strategic marketing document designed to sell your Unique Board Value Proposition to the specific Boards you want to join.
 
If you’ve been staring at a blank screen, procrastinating on your application, or receiving generic rejections (or total silence), this webinar is your roadmap to a strategic overhaul of your Board Resume.

The Rules of the Game Have Changed

There has never been a better time to pursue a Board career. Organisations are increasingly looking outside their usual “gene pool” to find Directors with the diverse skills and modern expertise – like yours – needed to lead into the future.

However, the Board recruitment process can be a black hole. You might be an undisputed authority in your executive role, yet find yourself left in the dark after submitting an application. Often, this isn’t because you lack the capability; it’s because your resume is speaking the wrong language.

A winning Board Resume is the essential piece of gear for your journey to the Boardroom. It’s time to stop agonising over what to include and start building a document that moves you from the operational weeds and onto the balcony of strategic governance.

If you’re waiting for an advertisement to appear before touching your Board Resume, you're playing a reactive game.


It’s time to stop leaving your ambition to chance. It’s time to turn your Board Resume into a proactive strategic asset.

WHAT’S INSIDE THIS EXCLUSIVE FREE TRAINING:

In this actionable session, Lisa Cook will step you through the “missing ingredients” of a fit-for-purpose Board Resume:

  • The Power of a Strategic Board Resume: Why you should aim to respond to fewer advertisements and start being “tapped on the shoulder” instead.
  • Common Mistakes to Avoid: Why too much information is just as dangerous as too little, and how to stop talking about what you “do” so you can focus on the content that tells a compelling story about your Boardroom value.
  • The Board Story Framework: How to answer the three critical questions: Who am I writing to? Why them? and, Why me? before you write a single word.
  • Section-by-Section Breakdown: A walk-through of a winning Board Resume template, from your Introduction to your Board-relevant experience.

FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR,

For over 12 years, I've been helping aspiring Board Members navigate the complex journey to the Boardroom (whether it’s their first, next, or paid Board role). As an experienced Board Member myself, I know exactly what happens on the other side of the selection table.

I created this training because I see too many brilliant professionals waste great Board opportunities simply because they're using the wrong tool for the job. I’m here to give you the approach to transform your Board Resume into a fit-for-purpose document that moves you to the shortlist.

“I made it to the shortlist of 6 based on my resume and was subsequently appointed to a paid Board position. Your help was very much appreciated.”

 “Amazing value course! I chose to have my CV picked apart in the group session, which was enormously helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone applying for a Board role.”
