  • Why You Need a Personal Board of Directors

    Why You Need a Personal Board of Directors
    May 4 2026

    The higher you rise, the lonelier it gets. I'm sharing why every senior leader needs a personal board of directors and exactly how to build one. Want to talk about your options? Send me a message on Linkedin.

    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

    • Why strong peer networks lead to better decisions and faster growth
    • Who should (and absolutely should not) be on your personal board of directors
    • What a peer group actually looks like in practice and how to run one that sticks
    • How to find or build the right group even if you're starting from scratch
    • Why this becomes more critical the more senior you get

    The research backs this up too. Senior leaders report higher levels of isolation than anyone else in an organization. And when I ran a LinkedIn poll asking VP and C-suite women to describe their networks, the most common answer was: "I'm on an island here." That's not okay. And it's fixable.

    If you've been navigating the hard stuff alone, this episode is for you.
