Managing Director at The Alternative Board (Bristol North)",
"I had the pleasure of attending 'How to become a Non-Executive Director' one day course in Bristol yesterday delivered by David Doughty. The content, course leader and fellow attendees were a breath of fresh air. I went with an open mind, unsure whether my skill set and experiences were suitable and allow me to offer any value to a board. I left with no doubt that they were.
The course content was really informative and very pragmatic. At end of the day, not only did I understand the role and liabilities of a NED but also the legal framework within which they operate, the more technical areas that you need to be familiar with, where to find out more information specific to the company you are working with and how to find a NED position in the public, private and voluntary sectors. Above all though, I left with the confidence that I really did have something to offer.
For anyone wondering whether their future may include a NED position, I would recommend that you consider this course as a good starting point.Roger Wills Managing Director at Wills & Blair Ltd",
"How to become a Non-Executive Director is an essential introduction for those who seriously wish to pursue Non Executive Director Roles.

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