The power of collective help

When individuals come together to support each other, they form a strong and meaningful connection. This bond is based on the principle of mutual aid and support, where people help one another, often without expecting anything in return. This shared commitment to helping others fosters a sense of community and unity, creating a powerful network of support, cooperation and success.

The goal is to put together a group of people with experiences completely distinct from your own who can offer you a fresh perspective when needed. You can reach out to them with smaller asks than you would a mentor.

Building a personal board of advisors is essential for professional development in today's fluid job market. A personal board of advisors is a small part of your overall network: It's a group of people invested in your success who you can turn to for advice and support.

Wendy Murphy - Assoc. Dean, Professor of Management @ Babson College

A personal board of directors can shape you into a better leader, challenge your decisions, and help you fully unlock your potential. So forget about standard networking, and focus on finding your board of directors. It may just be the best professional step you ever take.

Ha Nguyen - former VC | product leader | fractional & advisory COO

Not a life coach and not quite a mentor, my personal board of advisors has been my lifeline over the last 8 years. Even when I feel my instincts are strong, I often vet my thoughts and ideas with this trusted group to help provide a more diverse set of considerations in order to make the best possible decisions.

Wendy Murphy - Assoc. Dean, Professor of Management @ Babson College

If you want to progress, you have to surround yourself with people that have higher expectations of you than you have of yourself. Learn to codify your network and make sure everyone has a role

Ashton Jackson - Reporter, Make It Success Reporter

In today’s complex business environment, one mentor is no longer sufficient. Executives and managers need an array of advisors, mentors and role models to provide critical information and support at defining moments.

Yan Shen & Richard D. Cotton - Asst. Professors, University of Victoria BC, Kathy E. Kram - Professor, Boston University

You need a personal board of directors. Recruiting a personal board of directors reflects your desire to take control of your own career, rather than going with the flow. And, the people you surround yourself with matter

Julia Korn - Executive coach | TEDx talk | TED Editors’ Pick of 2024

In today’s fast-paced and ever evolving environment, one mentor or coach — no matter how experienced and well-intentioned — may not be able to provide all the support you need for a fulfilling enduring career. Unlike mentorship, which involves an intense one-to-one equation, a personal board entails occasional and specific guidance.

Vivek Gambhir - Venture Partner, Lightspeed India | Advisor | CEO | Board Member | Mentor

Multiple perspectives are always helpful. That is why you need an entire board of directors, rather than a single mentor. I've personally found that seeking out these diverse viewpoints is vital in career growth and, in particular, for designing my own unicorn career.

Alaina G. Levine - Entrepreneur | Science journalist | Professional speaker

Your Board of Advisors is Your Life Raft. A personal board of advisors is designed to help ease the burden. The right group is a cluster of people who provide you with career guidance, strategic advice, coaching, and emotional support.

Sarah Hodges - Partner @ Pillar VC

A personal board of advisors should be comprised of people who are familiar with you from different life stages and career circumstances, including former or current colleagues, bosses, mentors, coaches, peers, advisors, classmates, and professors. But at which career stage should you build one, and whom to choose?

Noah Askin - Professor, UC Irvine, Cor Dubois - Founder @ Board Companion

The personal board of advisors approach is different. It allows you to make a much smaller ask and is therefore less daunting, especially when you’re just starting out in your career. You’re just requesting occasional input about a specific area of expertise, not an intense one-on-one relationship.
