Take on Board

Welcome to the Take on Board podcast, where we talk all things boards and governance. Being on a board can be interesting, valuable and exciting. Yet it can also be lonely, challenging and hard. Each week I talk to women who have been there, done that. Together we"ll discover what we need to take on board to be your best in the boardroom.https://helgasvendsen.com.au/take-on-board-podcast/ Hosted on Acast.
