Are you rushing straight into writing your Board Resume without thinking deeply about its purpose, audience, and core message? In this episode, I sit down with executive communication strategist and author Davina Stanley (Clarity First) to explore how to synthesise decades of executive experience into a clear, compelling Boardroom value proposition.

Whether you’re preparing a two-page Board Resume or having positioning conversations with key decision-makers, Davina shares practical frameworks from her book Elevate to help you communicate with clarity, quality, and velocity.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

  • Thinking Before Executing: Why candidates fall into the "execution trap" of updating their old resume before defining what they want decision-makers to know, think, or do.
  • Synthesis vs. Summary: How to move away from 16-page operational history dumps and synthesise your career into three top-line messages that highlight governance impact.
  • Structuring for Velocity with SCORE: Applying Davina’s SCORE framework to ensure your Board Resume is visual, skimmable, structured, and instantly readable for time-poor Chairs.
  • Iterating Your Value Proposition: How to socialise your messaging with trusted network contacts (using the 5 E's: Effort, Elevation, Evaluative Ability, Experience, Expertise) before finalising your documents.
  • AI as an Assistant, Not an Author: How aspiring directors can effectively use AI tools for ideation and proofreading without losing their authentic voice.
