Women on Boards Roundtable
Thursday, October 22nd
12:00 pm PT / 3:00 pm ET
Earning the Invitation, Not Chasing the Seat
The goal isn’t to chase the seat. It’s to build the reputation, relationships and judgment that earn the invitation.
What does it take to earn a board seat—and, once there, make a meaningful contribution?
Our October Women on Boards conversation, led by Kim Clark Pakstys, an experienced Board Director, Operating Executive, Investor, Entrepreneur, and Educator, explores how women can leverage experience, reputation and relationships to create board opportunities—and rethink how they lead once they get into the boardroom.
The transition from executive to director requires a fundamental shift. Great directors don’t stop being experts. They learn when to use their expertise and when the better contribution is a question, a different perspective, or the wisdom to help management find its own answer. It is all about moving from:
Expert → Curious | Doer → Overseer | Manager → Guide
Complimentary for C-Sweet members. Non-member tickets - $25.
