Boardroom Insider of the Month with Giselle McLachlan | Ep. 90

Giselle McLachlan is someone I have met through my relationship with BoardPro (a Board management software provider). Giselle is an experienced Board Member from New Zealand, having started on Boards as part of her leadership role. From there, she has built a Board portfolio while leading Grounded Governance, a governance training, advice, and education organisation. Her and I share a similar human-centred view of corporate governance; we touch on this a lot in this conversation because it underpins everything that we do as Board Members. In our conversation Giselle also shares: Her interesting and varied Board journey What she loves about Board service and the value the team can bring to organisational success How she built a portfolio career, balancing Board service with the need to earn an income Her analogy of Governance yoga and how discomfort and stretch are necessary Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable How your network will help you build your Board career The challenges that come with a Board role The essential skills of great Board Members (including her handy R3 framework) Powerful questions to ask yourself and your Board The human element in being a high performing Board member and a high functioning Board team And, her down-to-earth advice for aspiring and emerging Board Members, from Board pay to the importance of saying no Connect with Giselle on LinkedIn Grounded Governance   Join the priority waitlist for the new Build Your Board Resume program   Thanks to our sponsor BoardPro Visit boardpro.com/boardshorts and use the promo code boardshorts – all one word, lowercase – to get a 30-day free trial AND 20% off the price of your first year on any plan.
