A board of director written brand is, in every aspect, different from a standard resume. The format is shorter and organized very differently. Your BOD application package contains three documents; all three documents are customary and include a customized BOD Resume (one page), a Biography (also one-page), and a Short Summary (1-2 paragraphs) that is used for “about us” sections of websites, for speaking engagements, and for media mentions.
To build these requires expertise and know how, along with an in-depth understanding of your career, your accomplishments, your current or previous board experience, civic activity, and other critical inclusions. Our writers specialize in pulling board-specific skills and qualifications from your experience and presenting your background to align with how board roles are filled.
Then, your entire career must be condensed to these document formats to effectively communicate the “you” that will excite a reviewer, recruiter, or Board Membership Committee.
To begin this process, your SC&C Executive Consultant will speak personally with you and discuss your desired strategy, background, interests, and timing. Once you select Stewart, Cooper & Coon to guide you through this complex document development process, you will have a one-on-one conversation with an SC&C Board of Directors Executive Partner Branding Expert.
Your branding process begins with a personal and in-depth interview. During this session, we’ll talk through your ideal board opportunities (industry, company type/size, etc.) and then we’ll dig into your achievements, unique value, and other details that will best position you for your targeted board seats. All this information goes beyond your resume, Career WebFolio, and LinkedIn profile.
Our desire is to make sure your BOD application branding produces powerful and engaging documents that will excite any BOD Review Committee or BOD Recruiter.
