See What Real People Are Saying
"Michele has designed an easy to follow program proven to increase the representation of women on corporate boards. The ACE Board Training Primer Video Series was a perfect fit for me as someone who had some board experience but was still seeking that key first paid board appointment. Her sage advice, coupled with quality content plus her recommended actions were invaluable to me. An equally important part of her program was hearing the stories from other women of their board journeys plus the intimate “live” coaching session directly with Michele. I was left feeling empowered and motivated which is largely due to Michele’s inspiring and authentic leadership style and the superior program she has developed."
— Marilyn Spink | Toronto, Ontario, Canada
"Thank you, Michele and guests... the stories and shared knowledge from you, the guest board members and John Kelley made so many of the situations I have seen while serving on boards make sense. The unspoken rules and expected behaviors/preparations discussed are very real and very much needed to successfully serve on a board. This primer has inspired me to help more organizations by serving on more boards, but also to improve my contributions to the boards I am currently on. Thank you!"
Heather Bennett
"I was appointed to the Volunteer Toronto Board of Directors earlier this week. This is my first ever Board appointment and I feel honoured to be part of an established and respected organization. I credit my success to taking your Board Primer course and attending the coaching call with you. Thank you for everything that you do!"
Sushma Narisetty
"These are unprecedented times and this helps so much. The structure of the course and the content is so well done - it gave me concrete answers to questions I had and to many I didn't even know I should be asking. I want to take the full certification course, maybe next year when, hopefully, things will calm down a bit. Taking the course re-affirmed my intentions to serve on a board in the future."
Martina Blahova
"Really great tips in this session, I certainly have more to think about. It was most important to me to understand the differences between public and private boards, since I expect to be targeting private boards. Now I just need a deeper dive into avoiding the trap of acting too much like management instead of a board member! "
Deanna Lusby
"Dear Michele thank you for making this so accessible at such an amazing ‘price’! I have completed the Women on Board course and really looking forward to doing this one! Great to see you support women on boards! "
Orchid Jahanshahi
