Board Room Training – How to Thrive in the Board Room

A boardroom is where important decisions are made that affect everyone from the employees employed by a company to the investors who own its shares. The meetings are held in a room big enough to seat all members and located in next a space that promotes privacy. These rooms can be designated as such, or they could be used as basic conference rooms. These rooms must be soundproofed. This ensures that the discussion doesn’t get overheard and disrupted.

Whether you’re currently on a board of directors or planning to join in the future, there are many things to consider prior to preparing for your first meeting. This includes conducting a skill audit and identifying a director doppelganger and understanding the ins-and outs of Robert’s Rules of Order.

Directors as well as directors who are currently in office must be educated. A program for governance of boards like NACD Accelerate, will help improve your governance skills and help you succeed in the boardroom.

The course covers all the important aspects of proactive governance including guiding strategic direction and risk oversight, as well as compensation. Participants will learn the fundamentals of corporate leadership and get practical experience in a mock boardroom.
