Boardroom Premium Columns

Boardroom confidential

Where directors speak frankly – sharing the moments, mistakes and lessons we don’t often hear about. Candid insights, in their own words. No spin. Just what they’ve learned behind closed doors.

In my humble opinion (IMHO)

A space for directors to offer a personal take on the ideas, issues and flashpoints shaping governance today. It’s opinion, not consensus – and that’s the point.

In the hot seat

From boardroom tensions to complex decisions under pressure, directors talk openly about what happened, how they navigated it, what they learned – and what they’d do differently next time.

My governance playlist

My Governance Playlist invites directors and emerging leaders to share the ideas that changed how they think, lead and serve – from books to podcasts to personal beliefs. Discover the media that sparked new thinking, deepened purpose and sharpened governance practice.
