“Fabulous course that well exceeded my expectations! You will be in excellent hands with Michele taking you under her wing and showing you the ins and outs of corporate directorship, the challenges you may face as a woman in the boardroom, and the unique value you have the power to impart. The course offers a fantastic networking opportunity with high achieving like minded women too, and well worth the effort overall."
