Do you know what the number one myth about landing a board position is? It’s the belief that you need to be in the C-suite to qualify. The truth is, you don’t need to be in the C-suite to land a corporate board. But here’s the catch: Many women struggle to navigate the board readiness process.

The good news is, you’re not alone, and there’s a clear path forward. In this episode, Host Natalie Benamou shares insights on landing a board role.

Key Takeaways:

• What Boards Are Looking For: Understand the three key areas that boards prioritize: Risk, Transformation, and Growth. Positioning yourself in these areas will set you apart.
• How Boards Select Members: Learn how the process works, what the selection committees are prioritizing, and how to align your experience with those needs.
• Your Compelling Narrative: It’s not about listing all your accomplishments; it’s about showing how your expertise brings value in these three key areas.
• Networking for Board Opportunities: Most board positions come from the people who know you and trust you. Cultivate those relationships, and position yourself for the right opportunities.
• Preparation and Confidence: Knowing what to say and how to say it with confidence and clarity is essential. Practice your pitch, refine your bio, and get ready to step into your board role.
