When to create your Personal Board?
There's no time like the present
There is no set time when you should have a Personal Board.
A Personal Board can support you at any stage of your career.
When to set up your Personal Board
The earlier you start working on the concept of a Personal Board of directors, the better. If you have been thinking about the next stage of your life or career, getting promoted, switching careers, or starting a business - which requires new skills or networks, now is the time to start creating one.
There's no time like the present.
Old or young - start mixing things up today
You are never too young (or old) to take control of your career. Neither is having a Personal Board just for high-flyers or certain industries. It's a concept that is usable throughout your career and applied to any person or situation.
Personal Boards provide bite-size development advice, helping avoid that overwhelming feeling in big career changes.
Regardless of your current role or position, an extra pair of eyes helps by feeding back in a critical, yet constructive way, your strengths, weaknesses and suitability for your next step.
A Personal Board evolves
Career changes are commonplace and even if you were operating an effective Personal Board, it doesn't have to remain static. A significant change in career direction will merit a restructure of your Personal Board members to add new perspectives.
