Episode description
The transition from an executive to a board career, or a portfolio lifestyle, is more than it appears; the change can be seismic, in fact.
In this episode, board member Paul Williams and NACD advisor Susan Paley discuss how Williams transitioned away from his full-time career toward a portfolio lifestyle. They cover the value he finds in board service, his shift in mindset from outward achievement to inward fulfillment, and the day-to-day changes he’s experienced.
Host: Susan Paley, NACD advisor
Guest: Paul S. Williams, director, American Funds/Capital Group; trustee, Public Storage, George Jackson Academy
