About the event

Join Women in Finance Group for the first session of our five-part Board Masterclass Series.

This interactive session will explore how to navigate your path towards a Non-Executive Director role, with practical insights on positioning your experience, building boardroom confidence and identifying opportunities.

6th of October | 3:00 PM

A practical session for finance professionals looking to take their next step towards the boardroom.

Description:

Securing a non-executive role takes more than an impressive executive track record. Boards assess candidates differently, the market is highly competitive and many opportunities never reach the open market. To gain traction, you need to understand what boards are really looking for, articulate your value at the right level and position yourself as genuinely board-ready.

This free, live one-hour masterclass from Hanover Talent Solutions is designed for senior executives, aspiring NEDs and experienced board members who want to approach their next board move with greater clarity and purpose.

Drawing on decades of experience in executive and NED career transition, executive search, board positioning and senior leadership coaching, we’ll explore the unwritten rules and expectations that can make the difference between being an experienced executive and being seen as a compelling board candidate.

During the session, we’ll explore:

  • What boards really look for and how the NED role differs from executive leadership
  • How to define and articulate your board-level value proposition
  • How to translate executive experience into governance, judgement, influence and oversight
  • How to strengthen your NED CV, board bio, LinkedIn profile and applications
  • How to build a focused NED strategy and position yourself for both advertised and hidden opportunities

There will also be live polls, practical exercises and time for questions about your own board ambitions and challenges.

Whether you’re exploring your first NED role, actively trying to secure one, or looking to build a stronger portfolio of board positions, this session will help you understand where to focus and how to communicate the value you bring to the boardroom.

Join the Hanover Talent Solutions team for a practical session on how to effectively position yourself for your next board opportunity.
