323: Design Your Personal Board of Directors with Melanie Stuber


Listen Later

Forget the one-mentor model! What if you had a team of people championing your growth?

Melanie Stuber shares how designing your personal board of directors can be a game-changer for your career and personal growth. After 25+ years in corporate leadership, Melanie stepped into entrepreneurship, and quickly realized the power of intentionally surrounding herself with people who challenge, support, and champion her.

From knowing your values to identifying the roles every growth-minded person needs (mentor, coach, sponsor, expert, and more), she breaks down how to build and sustain this dynamic circle.

Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just getting started, you’ll walk away with real tools to build a board that grows with you, and never feel like you’re doing it alone again. 👥
