Our
Alumni

I would highly recommend this course to those seeking a board seat. It encouraged me to view the board seat opportunity landscape differently, and it demystified the process.

– Wanda Taliaferro

I have recommended the course to four people…it is a great course. It is real talk, from real experience. Dr Soaries Jr. reveals truths about board service that are rarely revealed. Definitely worth the investment.
