A personal board of directors concept has always been on my mind. Has anyone implemented this and benefited from it? If yes, how was your experience- what worked what didn’t? At the expense of sounding crazy, would anyone here be interested in joining a WhatsApp group of sorts where we can realtime talk about questions from our work and seek advice? I see the benefits here is the diversity of thoughts which I guess I can’t get on my own or at my workplace alone.

Tell me more.

I have had a BOD for many years and know of others. A C-Level male made the recommendation, he was right. Everyone has their role and generally, do not interact with each other.

Why not just post your questions here.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...

I have worked with Forbes top companies, for-profits, non-profits, & startups. I consider myself a solver of complex & complicated problems requiring mixed method research & novel solutions. This has led to issues in self-referencing title. I’ve been project manager, data engineer, developer, modeler, analysts, principle DB developer, etc. Most of my w2 work has been from offers of 1099 clients so I am usually asked to define my own title. Any T-shaped data people who run into this?
