In this episode of Climbing the Corporate Ladder Without Breaking a Heel, Dr. Cynthia sits down with Dr. Keith D. Dorsey, founder and CEO of Boardroom Journey, to unpack what it actually takes for women to intentionally position themselves for corporate board service.

From early-career professionals to seasoned executives, this conversation breaks down the long game behind building influence, visibility, and strategic leadership capital.

Dr. Dorsey introduces his framework of the Five Capitals that shape a successful boardroom journey:

• Human Capital • Social Capital • Director Capital • Cultural Capital • Commitment Capital

Together, they discuss why waiting until you "feel ready" is one of the biggest mistakes ambitious women make and how intentional career decisions today can shape opportunities decades down the road.
