Welcome to this week’s Beyond the Bio bonus episode. In these short recaps, I’m picking out my key takeaway from Monday’s show and creating an actionable tip you can implement right now.

On Monday’s show, Helen Boyd joined me to talk about how to excel in your role as a charity trustee. Helen is Centre Manager of Smart Works Newcastle, a charity providing interview clothing and coaching to unemployed women across the north east. She has been with Smart Works for 6 years and, before this, worked for charities in London for 8 years before returning home to Newcastle.

As Chair of Smart Works Newcastle, I work closely with Helen and thought it would be great to get her perspective on what it takes to be a brilliant board member.

We chatted about how charities recruit trustees, how trustees can add value to charities, and how you can make the most of the opportunity.

These bonus episodes are full of actionable tips and tricks that you can take forward to raise your profile. I’d love to know if you find these helpful and hear about which action points you’ve decided to embrace.
