Leverage Your Strengths and Gain New Perspective
Unsure of how to secure a board seat? We’re here to be your trusted advisor.
FROM IDEA
Service on a board can be both meaningful and rewarding. But, understanding how to position yourself as a successful board candidate is nuanced. Opportunities are few and the bar is high, and 80% of board seats are filled through personal networking.
To Readiness
We help seasoned executives understand the board landscape, evaluate your readiness and market yourself effectively. It’s a collaborative and customized process that positions you for success.
A Seat at the Coveted Board Table
Board work requires more than passion or industry expertise, and boards value thought leadership more than operational expertise.
Whether you’re ready to add value beyond your day job or considering an encore career, a Board Readiness engagement and one-on-one support from a practice area expert will help you position and network your way to the table.
“Whether you’re going from an executive to board or you’re looking for your next career move, investing in yourself and having that third-party expertise is so valuable.”

Jodi Hubler
SERVICES: BOARD READINESS
After serving on 12 corporate boards in 15 years, Jodi Hubler would seem exceptionally well qualified for a board of director seat. But, as Hubler recognized, pivoting from an investor seat to that of an independent director required a change of perspective. Together with her executive consultant, Jodi concentrated on finding her ideal board role and positioning her diverse experience for a more general governance and advisory role. Today she serves on eight boards and focuses on under-represented and underserved communities.
