Session Overview

Due to the ongoing uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, and these extraordinary times, we have introduced one of the “How To Become a Non Exec Director Courses” to be fully online. This allows you to engage in real-time peer 2 peer coaching using online resources. In addition, we have re-introduced our face-2-face courses as well, so that delegates can choose which they would rather attend. Where any course is compromised due to changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19 we offer the opportunity to either move the course online, or to pause and recommence in due course.

Companies and individuals are facing unprecedented challenges and this course, focussing on how to not only become a Non-Exec Director but also how to work effectively in the Boardroom, is now more relevant than ever. The topics and content that we cover transcends industries and the wisdom of a small select group of equally senior peers is not only extremely helpful but insightful, and enables an immediate new support network to be created in these unprecedented times.
