If you have spent the last twelve months sending your CV into the void for advertised roles and hearing nothing back, it is time for a new approach.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why the traditional job-hunting approach doesn't work for the Boardroom. I chat through the reality of the Hidden Board Market, where 90% of Board roles actually live, and introduce a brand-new vehicle to help you access it: the Build Your Board Career program.

Whether you are feeling frustrated by a lack of progress or standing at the very beginning of your journey wondering where to start, this episode breaks down the exact 12-week framework you need to stop playing the waiting game. We cover how to articulate your Unique Board Value Proposition, craft a strategic Board Resume, and build a networking plan that actually works.

In this episode, we cover:

  • [00:59] Introduction: Why the "Seek Approach" is failing your Board search, and why starting from scratch can actually be a strategic advantage.
  • [03:16] What is the Build Your Board Career program? How we combine online learning, live group sessions, and 1:1 support to help you get onto a Board.
  • [03:49] The 12-Week Roadmap: Breaking down Month 1 (Your North Star), Month 2 (Your Board Resume & LinkedIn), and Month 3 (Your Network).
  • [09:32] The Game Changer: Why ongoing, lifetime monthly 1:1 support is built into the program, so you never have to navigate the market alone.
  • [10:22] The Investment: How much does the program cost? (Plus, details on the 50% Founding Member saving and the PayPal 'Pay in 4' option).
  • [11:55] Who is this for? Who this program is suitable for, and why we champion "Directors with substance."
  • [14:17] Immediate Access: What happens when you join, and when do you get access to the materials?
  • [14:50] Buddy Sessions: How group buddies are assigned and how we match you strategically.
  • [15:40] The Credential Question: Do you need to have your GAICD or another formal governance credential to join?
  • [16:45] The Experience Question: Do you need to have previous Board experience?
  • [17:31] The Location Question: Do you need to be based in Australia?
  • [17:54] Taking Action: How to secure your spot before we officially kick off on Monday, 2 March.
