Description

Welcome to Better in 30: Build Your Personal Board of Directors!

In about a half hour, you will learn how the most successful leaders regularly get the support, insights, feedback, cheerleading, and advocacy they need to keep growing their skills and advancing their careers.

It's by putting together a Personal Board of Directors, a formal OR informal group of people who are committed to their personal and professional success.

And anyone can have a PBOD -- you don't need a fancy title or be at a certain level in your career to make this happen. It's a simple, no-cost way to give your career, your network, and your future a huge advantage.

If you're wondering:

  • What are the benefits?

  • Who would I ask?

  • What if I don't know a lot of "important" people?

  • Is it complicated?

  • What can they really do for me?

  • Shouldn't I help them back?

  • How do I ask someone to do this?

  • What if they say no?

  • Again, is this REALLY worth it?

Then this course is for you!

In this course, you will learn:

  1. How you got to where you are now? (Hint: it wasn't by doing everything yourself.)

  2. What a Personal Board of Directors is

  3. Who you Need and Why You Need Them

  4. How to Build YOUR Personal Board of Directors

  5. How to Maintain Your Board
