Women on Corporate Boards
Date January 18, 2019    Time 10 AM – 4 PM

PLEASE SHARE THIS FLYER WITH
ALL YOUR HIGH-POWERED WOMEN COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS

Our first boot camp (in October) was very well received and so we are launching additional ones for those of you who were interested but unable to attend that day. 
                                   One of the participants sent me a thank you e-mail stating:
 “Right at the beginning …ArLyne taught me how to speak like a Board member.  By the end of this seminar I was speaking like a board member.”

This workshop is designed to give you valuable information about boards, as well as to enable you to increase your “street cred” (credibility) through role-playing and other interactive techniques.  This day will be a combination of hard information and lots of shared practice.   This might be just what you need to be accepted by “the big boys.”

Thanks mostly to the #MeToo Movement, California is once again in the Vanguard creating legislation to advance gender equality requiring that at least one woman sit on every corporate board. Over the next few years that is expected to increase to having 40% of board composition be women. Although highly controversial – this is an opportunity for all high powered – fast-tracking women to serve at this level.

It also is the opportunity for those in “soft-skill” fields to participate with mostly “hard-skill” colleagues.  Although every book on board Development (including my own) states the importance of the soft-skill perspective on the board, it is rare to see anyone in those professions, including serving on corporate boards.  This one day boot camp is designed to give you the information and skills you will need to serve with “the big boys” and shine.  Among the things you will learn:

Basics of Corporate Governance                            How your Professional Background adds value
Tips on how to find the boards and get on them        Roles of Board Members – and Executive Boards
How to be heard – to express yourself effectively                Assertiveness – Not Aggression
Getting Noticed in a Positive Powerful Manner         Dos and Don’ts of Board Membership
Handling Attempts at Sabotage                                Standing Up to Bullies
Board Members relationships with staff                   Differences between non-profit and corporate boards
