Women Lead Webinar Series

Exclusively for Premium Access Pass members

Have you considered an option to exercise your skills and leadership as a board director? Globally, there is a push to invite women to join boards, based on the value diversity brings. We know that diversity of background, experience, and thought in corporate boardrooms and executive suites result in more constructive discussion, better management decisions, and stronger financial performance. Research shows return on equity is 35% higher and total return to shareholders is 34% higher for companies whose top management teams include women.  And women need access to this critical leadership experience and the networks that board membership provides.

There are many types of boards and – to earn a seat at any one – it is vital to understand what is required and what the ideal board role for you. This webinar helps you to understand your opportunities, consider when is best for you to start thinking about board membership, what skills are needed, and how you get considered for this valuable experience.
