Take on Board

Today on the take on board podcast, I'm speaking with Karen Tisdell, about LinkedIn and what board directors need to know about using LinkedIn for networking and being visible to board searches. Many of you already know that I'm a fan of LinkedIn, today, you'll get to hear from somebody else about why it's important.Karen says: "I started using LinkedIn in 2005, I was an early adopter, using LinkedIn to headhunt for people and went on maternity leave was a bit bored, had an argument with my husband about returning to work. And so now just start writing LinkedIn profiles from home, and it has just grown and grown and grown. So I do also do quite a bit of LinkedIn training as well. But LinkedIn profile writing is my core thing. So I'm really thrilled to be giving lots of tips to your audience today."ResourcesKaren Tidell on LinkedInKarenTisdell.comYou might want to:Get early bird pricing (before Aug 10) for An introduction to cultural competency with Jillian West on Wednesday 17 August 2022 | 7.30 am - 9.00 amJoin the Take on Board Facebook communityJoin the Take on Board LinkedIn communityFollow along on TwitterWork with meJoin the Take on Board: Kickstarter group programJoin the Take on Board: Accelerator group programFind out more about meContact me Hosted on Acast.

As always at the Take on Board Breakfasts, there was a lively Q&A session. That's what you will hear this week, including some questions we didn't have time to get to at the event. I have no doubt you will find it just as valuable as Tara's words of wisdom from last week.

Today’s podcast was recorded at the second Take on Board Breakfast event on 3 May 2022.Breakfast guests heard from Tara Anderson of the Dragonfly collective. We talked about governance for profit and purpose, and purpose is the part to emphasize there.Many of the Take on Board Community are involved in the governance of a range of organizations, and my view is every organization, especially not for profits need to be financially sustainable. Tara has some incredible and practical wisdom to share here about governing for profit and purpose. She's worked in organizations across the world. So she or she has a great wealth of experience to draw on.We heard about some fabulous resources and frameworks that I think will help all of us in these conversations that we wrestle with now, and even more so into the future, in the boardroom.Tune in next week for the animated Q&A session from this breakfast, plus questions we didn’t have time for in the Take on Board Breakfast.From this episodeThe Dragonfly Collective - an international consultancy supporting for-purpose businesses to be strong and successful.For Purpose Business Model WorkbookUN Sustainable Development GoalsTara Anderson on LinkedInYou might want to:Attend our third birthday party celebration! - Tuesday 28 June 2022 | 7.30am or 5.00pm - via zoom, meet the community + giveaways!Join the Take on Board Book Club, 26th July at 7pm Eastern Australian Time.
