Take on Board Accelerator

Who is this for

Accelerator is a small group program for board directors looking to build on governance experience and explore challenges in a safe environment.

This practical 12-month small group (6-10 people) program brings together like-minded women and gender diverse people to support each other in their journey to build governance wisdom.

Thinking a bit bigger, tapping into 'Accelerator goldmines'

With Accelerator Dr Sarah Anderson found “a group that all thought differently, but have the common aim to make things better”. Always a good listener, Sarah also learnt the power of asking good questions in the boardroom.

Helga’s Take on Board Accelerator program was terrific. Helga ensured a safe space to learn and discuss all the ins and outs of being an effective board member. I learnt lots and made really useful action plans for my improved board practice and the monthly meetings and regular follow-up ensured I carried these out. Another excellent aspect was the great network of women participants. While each had different experiences all were generous in their sharing - we learnt so much from each other and I believe will remain firm friends. Thank you so much Helga for making this extremely rewarding experience possible.
