089 Got A Personal Board Of Directors?
Do you have a personal board of directors or board of advisors? I recently spoke to a nonprofit CEO, and she does. This is how the conversation went down.
She was sharing with me how she put together her board of directors for her non-profit. And she was very deliberate, and she wanted to make sure she had a diverse board with a different background between entrepreneurs, corporate, nonprofit, for profit (I don’t know if she has government on there), but she’s got men, women, varied experience. They also have a Christian background, so she has Christians, non-Christians. So, she has a very diverse board. She shared with me that and how they’ve helped and guided her and vice versa.

And then I asked who is on her personal board? And she went on and shared she has a coach, a mastermind or peer group, and she has a mentor. She was as deliberate on her personal board of advisors as she was for her organization’s board. I’ve got a coach, mastermind, and mentor too.
Who is on your personal board of advisors?
Who do you have? As an individual, you’ve got to have those people in your life that steer you in the right direction, pick you up when you’re having a bad day. Like my yesterday, right? I didn’t have the best day. Please see that episode if you want- KimDSnyder.com/089.
When you get frustrated and sometimes you can pull yourself out and sometimes you can’t. And that’s where the board is there. They’re making sure you’re looking at things at the right level. You’re not getting stuck in the weeds, you are not missing something; you are aware. The board is there to help you. Who’s on your board?
