Show by Lindsey Garito
Every successful career needs a support system, not just a network. As CEO of your career, leverage your personal board of directors for support, accountability, and guidance. This episode breaks down the six essential roles every personal board of directors needs: the cheerleader, connector, coach, realist, role model, and rising star. Lindsey explains the critical difference between mentors and sponsors, why diversity of perspective matters when choosing your board, and how to strategically identify and recruit the right people for each role. Whether you’re navigating a career transition or thriving in your current role, this episode shows why building (and maintaining) your personal board is one of the smartest moves you can make to ensure you never navigate your career alone.Episode Highlights00:00 Introduction to Building a Personal Board of Directors00:23 The Value of Mentorship01:19 Difference Between Mentors and Sponsors02:16 The Concept of a Personal Board of Directors03:12 Six Key Roles for Your Personal Board19:52 How to Build and Source Your Personal BoardLooking for a Coach for your board of directors?
