Episode 348: Learning about The Observership Program

Listen to episode 348

Shownotes

In this solo episode of Take on Board, I share my keynote from the 2026 The  Observership Program launch. I discuss how the program helps emerging leaders under 40 and builds strong board succession pipelines.

I highlight that diverse boards make better decisions, but only when inclusion and psychological safety are prioritised through intentional connections.

My five tips for observers:

  1. Connect broadly
  2. Stay curious
  3. Own your seat
  4. Use your fresh perspective early
  5. Fully commit to meetings, training, and events (and have fun).
