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.

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.
