We have formed a new kind of "board" where wonderful, talented people get the personal and professional mentorship-driven guidance that they need, where accomplished and kind board members from around the globe meet each other, give back, and feel inspired.
This is an entirely free public service for everyone involved.
The Experience
Inspiring, useful, and life changing. The Board helped me digest what I thought were blockers into opportunities and showed me where I can focus my energy next to make my dream career come true.
I just really felt heard. I felt listened to - it was an easy organic dialogue and conversation with people who I just met but who also had my best interest and well-being in mind.
It's a rarity to have access to such a wealth of wisdom and expertise across the globe (especially for free!).
