Whether you are seeking your first board appointment or you are an experienced Director looking to secure one or two additional roles, the Welcome to the Boardroom Program provides a structured, personalised pathway into the boardroom. Delivered exclusively by Kylie Hammond, this program is designed to support executives and senior leaders who are board-ready and seeking practical guidance, positioning, and access during their board search.
The program is focused specifically on board appointments and is delivered through a series of private mentoring sessions throughout the year. Kylie works closely with you to refine your board value proposition, clarify which types of boards and organisations are best suited to your experience, and develop a targeted board search strategy aligned with your goals, sector preferences, and market realities.
A key component of the program is professional board-level branding. This includes the development of a professionally written Board Résumé suitable for lodgement with executive and board search firms, Chairs and Board Members, along with a Corporate Biography, tailored cover letters, and a LinkedIn profile makeover. All assets are aligned to ensure a consistent and credible board-level narrative.
Kylie works in partnership with you to support relationship building and market engagement, including facilitating private business introductions where appropriate. These introductions may include Chairs, Non-Executive Directors, Board Members, Committee and Nomination Committee Members, Family Offices, and selected executive and specialist board search consultants, as well as organisations across listed, unlisted, private, government, and not-for-profit sectors.
The program also includes practical preparation for board interviews, including mock board interview discussions with detailed feedback to strengthen positioning, communication, and performance. Throughout the year, Kylie provides ongoing review of your board search strategy and guidance on approach, timing, and engagement. As Founder and CEO of Director Institute, Kylie is well placed to make informed introductions and direct approaches where appropriate, drawing on one of the fastest-growing networks of aspiring and current board directors in the Asia Pacific region.
Welcome to the Boardroom is a distinct offering designed to support executives who are focused on securing one or two board appointments, rather than building or managing a broader board portfolio. It is suitable for first-time board candidates as well as experienced directors seeking to expand selectively.
This program is a professional mentoring, positioning, and board readiness service. While strategic guidance, preparation, market insight, and introductions may be provided where appropriate, board appointments and outcomes are subject to external selection processes and are not guaranteed. Outcomes depend on individual capability, market conditions, and active participation throughout the program.
