“Motivating and clarifying.”
“[BoardProspects coach] Nicole’s deep dive with me on my board profile and potential channels of opportunity were motivating and clarifying. Her personalized approach helped me hone in on my unique qualifications that I had not fully explored. I really appreciated her view that the board journey is not a 'one-size-fits-all' formula.”

“A sense of process, possible opportunities, and key action items to build the strength of my candidacy.”
“Nicole was not only incredibly helpful in understanding how to position myself for board roles, but also gave me a sense of process, possible opportunities, and key action items to build the strength of my candidacy. I highly recommend connecting [with Nicole] to better understand how to approach board opportunities in ways that may not be obvious without external guidance.”
