Being on a Board can be an interesting, valuable and exciting experience. Yet it can also be lonely, challenging and hard.

Here at Take on Board we will bring you weekly tips, tricks and advice to help you navigate your way on to your first or next board and to build you governance wisdom.

It's like having your own trusted advisers in your pocket. We'll talk to women who have been there, done that and together we'll discover what we need to Take on Board to be our best in the boardroom.
