Publisher's Summary
Betsy Atkins is often asked: “How can I get on a board?” So after 20-plus years in the boardroom and multiple roles in public and private companies she is ready to share her secrets.
In this audiobook, she teaches you how to build your own personal brand as well as how to keep yourself relevant and growing. She shares tips on how to make your personal network the most effective and the most enjoyable. Betsy covers the best ways to present your skills and credentials in order to get that board interview as well as detailed information on how to prepare for it. But getting that board seat won’t be the end of your journey. Once you are on the board, you’ll want to be the best board member you can, helping your companies grow and prosper, so you’ll be able to get that next, even better board seat.
For new CEOs and entrepreneurs, she covers how to make your board work for you and be a true accelerant for your company: the role of the board, choosing new board members (and getting rid of the bad ones), maximizing your board meetings, and building board relationships to ensure success for you as a CEO and for your company.
Also included is a collection of articles and learnings from Betsy’s experiences as an operator, board member, and advisor to some of America’s largest and most notable public companies. After listening to this book, prospective board members will be energized and motivated to create their own personal brand, cultivate it to gain a board seat, be a better board member and CEO, and continue to educate on the issues boards are looking at today.

Great read and mentoring from Ms. Atkins.
Very insightful book and sharing of experience. Ms. Atkins spoke in the language of a true mentor. This book is the best resource I have found to prepare for new role on a board.
