How often do you find yourself hesitating to speak up in the boardroom or in an important meeting?

Recently, in collaboration with Women Get On Board Inc. (WGOB), we delved into strategies for enhancing effectiveness in the boardroom. From finding your voice to elevating your emotional intelligence and leadership skills, our session covered key aspects essential for success.

Dr. Deborah Rosati FCPA, FCA, ICD.D, GCB.D, CCB.D, an esteemed corporate director and founder of Women Get On Board Inc., led the discussion. With over 35 years of experience, Deborah is not only a governance champion but also a catalyst for change and community builder. Her commitment to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in the boardroom is truly inspiring.

Attendees were not only active listeners but also engaged in discussions, posing questions. For instance Nadiia Vasylieva was asking Deborah about recommended certification and Iryna Volk showed interest in Deborah's journey to her first board seat.

Participants had the opportunity to explore Deborah's "Four C" secret formula for elevating board effectiveness and shared personal success stories of stepping out of their comfort zones. Deborah herself shared insights from her experiences and emphasized the importance of diversity and open-mindedness in driving better business outcomes.

By contributing her time to support Women on Boards Ukraine Deborah already made valuable contribution to support Ukraine. additionally Members of our community also got a unique opportunity to gain more insights from Deborah's book "Elevating Your Board Effectiveness," considering its practical value. This book will undoubtedly give participants the opportunity to apply its ideas in real scenarios, positively influencing the development of Ukraine.
