Boardroom red flags 🚩
Here’s one: decisions made in meetings… and never followed up.

A board without follow-through is like a car with no wheels — looks impressive, but it isn’t going anywhere.

👉 My fix: a simple action log with names + timeframes. Not glamorous. But hugely effective.

The world has changed – so must the board.

Here’s what a modern Non-Executive Director brings:
✅ Governance AND growth mindset
✅ Coaching support to the CEO

If you’re on a board in 2025, these are the three questions you need to be asking:

Where’s the next risk hiding? (It’s never where we think.)

What’s the one thing we’re avoiding talking about?

Are we adding complexity... or clarity?

Boardrooms don’t thrive on more slides. They thrive on sharper questions.

Which question resonates with you right now?
