The Boardroom School: the getting of knowledge, confidence, excellence & influence for directors

"It is a great feat to make the topic of governance engaging however Margot was able to deliver the content in an interactive format that enabled all participants to share their experiences and take away lessons to apply to their respective boards. I would recommend any current or aspiring directors to complete The Boardroom School." Pravin.

I look forward to you joining me from wherever you are in the world for a fabulous time together to talk about all things being the best director you can be.  You'll make some new besties, too.

The 8 session program is online on Tuesdays from 5.30pm to 7pm AEST.

If you're a director, a CEO or senior manager, an aspiring director or looking for other opportunities in board-land then this conversational, storytelling, no-such-thing-as-a-wrong-question program is for you.

"Just a ‘halfway’ thank you for the Boardroom series! I’m getting a great deal out of the sessions. I appreciate the diverse backgrounds of the people and their storytelling and of course your great depth of experience and the ease and simplicity of your communication about very complex matters. Looking forward to the next sessions." Robyn
