If this is the first newsletter you are receiving from Boardvisory – welcome!
I hope to share valuable tips, insights and information with you every month.
Rest assured, I will never email you more than once a month, and you can of course unsubscribe at any time.
In this newsletter, I share a link to a short article about effective and ethical decision-making for Non-Executive Directors. It explores the three seemingly simple questions of the Business Judgement Rule, and I share some practical tips on writing a Board CV.
For Women on Boards (or those wanting to secure a seat on a board), I have included information about the Boardvisory and IODSA Women on Board Foundation Programme.
Whether you're a newcomer embarking on your journey to the Boardroom or a seasoned Board Director, the conversations within the Boardroom can be simultaneously invigorating and challenging. As you navigate through the Boardroom, I trust that the content of our monthly newsletter will provide valuable guidance to enhance your Boardroom experience.
Your Coach in the Boardroom,
Joy-Marie Lawrence
