EdTalk: Building Your Own Personal Board of Directors

Have you felt a need for more of a professional support structure? Well, aren’t you responsible for creating your own job title and carving out a successful career for yourself? Aren’t you the primary decision maker in your professional life? Well…this means you are the CEO of your professional career.

It can be helpful to think of yourself as your own business with you at the helm as CEO. A personal board of directors is the small group of people that you go to for support and advice on advancing your career. Ideally, the “board” consists of individuals who have a strong personal and professional interest in seeing you flourish and succeed. Learn strategies and tactics from Ryan Melton, Interim Executive Director of Development with Freeman Health System, related to building your very own personal board of directors.  Gain insight on how having a personal board of directors provides natural mentorship, decision making assistance, advocacy for your own goals, and challenging your goals to succeed.
