Jan 07, 2020•32 min•Ep 27•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Today on the Take on Board podcast, Helga brings you 20 board tips to take into 2020.
In doing so, I acknowledge my good friend Jackie Cooper who helped me bring this together – there’s no way I would have been able to pull out all the key themes and my favourite bits as it would be a bit like having to choose your favourite child. I love all of it! So Jackie was key in pulling this together.
So let’s go back to the start. The first Take on Board episode aired Wednesday 2 July 2019 with the fabulous Sandra Loader. Over six months 23 very different women passed on what they’d learnt about getting on a board and being an effective board member.
There were some standout themes across all 26 episodes.
There’s a loose order to this list: starting with getting on board, to good things to do when on a board. And #1 is without a doubt the most important theme – relationships.
