    I’m exploring a crucial aspect of your Board search that goes far beyond simply responding to job advertisements: how to strategically use your Board Resume to proactively open doors to the Boardroom. We often focus on crafting that perfect Board Resume, investing time and energy to showcase our unique value. But what happens after it's written? Are you just waiting for the ideal Board advertisement to land in your inbox? The reality is, many desirable Board positions, especially paid ones, are never publicly advertised. This episode will equip you with the understanding and actionable steps to leverage your strategic Board Resume as a powerful tool in your overall Board search strategy. I share why it's more than just a CV and how it can become your secret weapon in navigating the often-unseen pathways to Board appointments. In this episode, I cover: Why waiting for Board advertisements is a limited strategy: I discuss why many Boards don't advertise and the opportunities you might be missing.The power of a "strategic" Board Resume: I revisit what makes a Board Resume different from a traditional CV – its focus on your Board story, value proposition, and strategic thinking.Key ways to actively use your Board Resume beyond applications:Engaging your network for feedback and introductions: Learn how to use your resume as a conversation starter and a tool to facilitate connections.Following up with new contacts: Discover how your Board Resume can be a more impactful follow-up than a business card in your Board journey.Connecting with board search firms: Understand how to approach search firms with your targeted resume and position yourself for relevant opportunities.

  • Telling Your Board Story through Your Board Resume | Ep. 113
    Apr 22 2025

    Ready to craft a Board Resume that truly tells your story?

    This episode is your roadmap to creating a compelling narrative that will grab a Board recruiter's attention. The episode dives deep into how your Unique Board Value Proposition should shine through your Board Resume, transforming it from a list of achievements into a powerful story about the value you bring.

    Ever wondered what your "Board Story" actually is? This episode breaks it down for you, explaining how it's a potent combination of your:

    • Board Goal: The specific type of Board you're aiming for.
    • Unique Board Value Proposition: What makes you stand out and desirable to that Board.
    • Competitive Posture: How you position yourself against other candidates.

    I guide you through why simply listing your professional experience isn't enough. You'll learn how to strategically use key sections of your Board Resume, particularly your introduction and professional career history (or Board history), to clearly communicate your Board Story.

    Imagine a recruiter instantly understanding where you want to go and what you offer, without having to dig through pages of information. This episode makes that vision a reality.

    You'll learn how to:

    • Craft a powerful introduction that immediately highlights your Board-level expertise.
    • Transform vague job descriptions into compelling key achievements that demonstrate your impact on business, strategy, and finances.
    • Ensure your entire resume reinforces your unique Board value proposition.

    Don't waste any more time sending out resumes that don't effectively tell your story. Learn how to make your board resume your most powerful tool in landing your dream Board role.
