Instead of giving you a lecture or a list of "10 things you must do over Christmas," I'm giving you the exact opposite: full permission to switch off. Tune in to hear why "strategic rest" is just as important as strategic action and learn about the one decision you need to make now to ensure 2026 is the year you finally land your Board role. In this episode, I discuss: Permission to Rest: Why you cannot be an effective, sharp Board Member if you are constantly running on fumes. The "One Decision": A visualisation exercise to ask yourself where you want to be in December 2026—still aspiring, or wrapping up your year as a serving Board Member? A Major Announcement: A sneak peek at the new high-touch program launching in the new year, designed to stop the paralysis and get you Board-ready. The "Set and Forget" Strategy: How to plant a flag for your future-self right now so you can enjoy your holiday guilt-free. Build Your Board Career I'm officially announcing my brand new, high-touch program: Build Your Board Career. This is a 3-month intensive starting on March 2, 2026, designed to build your brand, refine your value, and execute your Board search strategy. Crucially, the support doesn't stop after the intensive; you get ongoing support to progress your Board goals throughout the year. It is the solution for aspiring Board Members who want a Board Career Coach in their pocket to guide them, cheer for them, and hold them accountable.
