A number of you have asked for ideas that would help maximize your efforts to gain a public company board seat. Here are a few tips:
1. Add a video to your LinkedIn Summary section. A 2-minute video is an excellent way for recruiters and others to have access to a quick summary of your board-level expertise.
2. Expand the descriptive words in your LinkedIn Professional Headline section. Increase your visibility by adding words that recruiter might use in a director search such as independent director or board of directors.
3. Read the Board Guru™ eBook - Becoming a Public Company Director ($9.99).
