Do you get a second chance to make a first (Board) impression?  No!
And that's because there are only 70,000 Board seats in the US. And since only a fraction turn over every year (~8,500 seats annually) if you get the interview, you need to drive it home!
What you need is a guide to help you make yourself marketable as a serious Board candidate.  And I've got the perfect guest today to help you: Mike Lorelli.
Mike is on 5 Boards today.  He's also Masters Certified by both the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) and the American College of Corporate Directors (ACCD).
On today's show, Mike talks us through 
Understanding your reasons for seeking Board work
The right path to muscle-build your Board credentials
Crafting your Board Bio 
Creating your Board resume 
Designing your LinkedIn profile 
Crafting your value proposition
Developing your elevator speech
Going to market
Mike's approach covers the critical interview questions and helps you crisply construct your answers, in a way that is natural to you.

Let's Get Social! 
I absolutely love connecting with listeners on social media. I'm most active on LinkedIn. (And yes, I do personally post and respond to my accounts!)
This is a great way to hear my latest thinking, get the inside track on new products, and occasionally see a picture of my adorable toddler.
