What others have said about the program from 2021
“I participated in Helga’s Kickstarter program in August and September this year. It was such a great course to take part in. Despite being online, Helga kept everyone engaged and energised. It was a great opportunity to learn about what it takes to be on a board and allows you to connect with other strong and inspiring women. Helga also helped is to identify goals, values and strengths when thinking about our future career path. Would absolutely recommend this training to anyone regardless of what stage of your career you are at.”
Anna Masters, Strategic Communications and Content (Take on Board: KickStarter 2021)
“I participated in Helga’s Kickstarter program earlier this year, and while I was dubious about how tiring another online event could be, it was great. Helga kept everyone inspired, energised and educated, while at the same time managing to create a space for people to be both truly vulnerable and truly spectacular. One of the highlights for me was being able to connect and establish relationships with so many accomplished women in such a collaborative environment. If you’re looking at starting a board career, start with Helga’s program!”
Gretchen Scott, CEO, The Human Collective (Take on Board: KickStarter 2021)
“Helga’s Kickstarter program came highly recommended and despite being confined to video delivery due to lockdown in Melbourne, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sessions were practical, highly engaging and interactive. It was an excellent complement to the AICD Company Directors Course that I just completed.”
