    Why Building Your Personal Board of Directors is Crucial for Your Success

    Amplifying and elevating your career requires a strategy. One of my favorite and most effective approaches is to build a personal board of directors. 

    In this episode, I walk you through assembling a dynamic group of mentors, advisors, and industry peers, all committed to your growth. Learn how to choose individuals who will push boundaries and inject diverse perspectives into your decision-making process, going beyond what friends and family can offer. I'll also clarify the roles mentors, coaches, and sponsors will play in challenging and expanding your thought process rather than simply replacing it.
