Today, I’m joined by Nancy Sheppard, Founder and CEO of Women2Boards. Nancy is a powerhouse in the world of banking and board leadership. She is also SO approachable, friendly, supportive and warm!  The instant I met her, I felt like I had known her for years! From her early years on Capitol Hill to the C-suite, Nancy’s journey is anything but ordinary. We talk about her early years including her brave choices to move across the country, pick different careers, her pivot from politics to banking, her role as CEO of Western Independent Bankers, and her mission to bring more women to the boardroom.

She shares insights on what it really takes to land a board seat, why personal stories make you unforgettable, and how programs like her board readiness program offered through How Women Lead are paving the way for more women to see what it takes and get on boards.
