Agenda:
7 reasons why being on a board is good for your career:
- Directorship is a point of difference on your CV when applying for a new role/promotion.
- You will build market and industry knowledge and networks through exposure to a diverse range of issues from the perspective of a director.
- Joining a board indicates to management or clients that you are interested and engaged in your community at a leadership level.
- Directorships build career and leadership skills and expertise.
- If you need to take a career break at any stage, a directorship can give you continuity on your CV. It will help you maintain professional contacts and could provide you with the confidence to re-enter the workforce more easily after a significant break.
- Directorships improve career resilience and provide strategic understanding of workforce dynamics.
- It gives you the chance to explore the idea of a post- executive board career
