Our approach combines personal branding with executive coaching, because clarity and confidence in your board value proposition are just as important as a strong board bio, board resume and LinkedIn profile. We start with coaching to get clear on your target boards, positioning, the specific value you bring as a director and the story you tell about it. From there, we write your board resume, bio and LinkedIn profile, and provide guidance on how to build or enhance the relationships that actually lead to board seats — most of which happen through referral and reputation, not applications. We're not a search firm or placement platform; we prepare you to be a stronger, more visible candidate wherever the opportunity comes from.

Yes, we write them from scratch through a thoughtful, iterative process that has driven client success for over 15 years. We start with a conversation, delving deep into your background and experience, asking probing questions to pull out what's most relevant to the boards you're targeting — richer information than an existing resume or LinkedIn profile alone can capture. We draft, share for feedback, and continue that process until we have a great final version, with no limit on drafts or time spent, because the goal is the best possible materials for what you want to do next.

Time depends on three factors: which program you select (coaching time varies, sometimes extending several months); your availability (if you're traveling or have heavy work commitments, meetings may be scheduled several weeks apart); and your response time to material drafts (the quicker you respond with feedback, the quicker we move to the next round and ultimately the final version). Typical engagement time ranges from six weeks to four months.

This is separate from how long our engagement takes — it's about how you put yourself out there (where you network, how often, do you follow up and stay in touch etc.), what you specifically bring to the table as a director, the market and other factors. Think of it as a marathon, not a sprint.

We charge a flat fee that reflects our comprehensive coaching and personal branding process, including all meetings, writing/editing, research/prep and all phone and email communication between meetings. Pricing depends on the size and scope of the engagement; coaching time varies by program. Contact us so we can learn more about you, your goals and where you're starting from, and recommend the right program to get you board-ready.
