Last week, I was in a discussion panel at work - we were debating the role of a coach or mentor, and the merits of both in the workplace.

I don't believe you need to choose. You can build an entire team to support you when you are facing a challenge.

Who do you turn to when you’re stuck?

When you’re making a career move, starting something new, or feeling lost—most of us rely on gut instinct, a quick search, or a chat with a friend.

But what if you had a trusted team in your corner?

A Personal Board of Directors is exactly that. A group of people—real or imagined—who offer guidance, challenge your thinking, and keep you focused on what matters.


Why You Need a Personal Board

  • You get diverse perspectives beyond your own bias.
  • You stay accountable to long-term goals, not just short-term emotions.
  • You build a system for better decision-making, not just advice on the fly.
