"I had the pleasure of attending a recent How to become a Non-Executive Director course that David ran. As someone who not only runs their own business, has had a career and built up experience the opportunity to learn more about this was too good to miss. David’s experience and expertise shone through as the day progressed – beginning with the roles, responsibilities, the legal aspects , the liabilities – all explained with examples of the good, the bad and the ugly of what has happened. David went through the skillset and actual case studies based on his career as an NED in all three sectors. This enabled there to be some great discussions where questions were answered. The structure of the day that David put together was second to none as I was taken through a well organised and flowing workshop – culminating in how I would secure a NED position. What was refreshing was the fact that David continually referred to his experience and not what you’d find in a text book coupled with a wealth of resources that are available. I would wholeheartedly recommend attending one of Execellensia courses that David runs and to point others that you know who may be interested in David’s direction.

I attended this course shortly after starting my first Non-Executive Director role and found David’s expertise and insight to be invaluable.
