Thank you for all your recent help and guidance with preparing my NED/ Board CV. I followed your tips for engaging with weak ties etc and I sent my resume to a friend who is a consultant for a large sports organisation for her comments. She was so impressed she introduced me to 5 high profile search firms all of which contacted me within 24 hours to arrange to meet or zoom. I have absolutely no doubt this is all down to your tips/guidance and your presentation of my career and experience.

Having been a non-executive director for nearly a decade I become a member to see how I could gain further board appointments. After 6 months I have gained one such appointment and the process from David and his team has been great as it is based on integrity. Of most benefit has been how to do research on target organisations in an authentic way that displays a passion for the organisation and their purpose.
SimonExecutive Member
I actually re-watched Module 14 a couple of days before the interview – which was enormously beneficial. In fact, the whole series and the workshops/application letter feedback etc were in hindsight key elements for success. Just a sincere thank you – feel like I’m now off the starting blocks – and topically aiming for Gold!
WayneExecutive Member
I am pleased to share that I have been offered and accepted a remunerated board position. I think I was well placed with my skills and experience, but without your support through the online tutorials, and developing and reviewing my CV I would not have been able to demonstrate this clearly and succinctly enough to enable me to progress through the process. There were 106 applications, I had a screening interview with the recruiter, then an interview with a board panel.

Not Right for You?

We have done all we can to tailor the EXECUTIVE package to your needs but it still might be that it is not right for you. That is ok. The timing might not be right, you might not have the money or you don’t want to commit the time. They are all valid reasons and in this case, you should take a look at the ACCESS or ACCESS+ membership options which still provide access to the jobs and a board CV but are cheaper and require less intensity.
