Well structured and informative course with plenty of time/room for group discussions. Ideal for anyone looking at NED roles.
John delivered a thought provoking and insightful workshop. Ideal for Non-Executive Directors aspiring to fully understand sales and how to create strategic commercial value at board level
A well structured and presented introduction to the responsibilities, challenges and attributes required of being a NED. It was thought-provoking. I have referred back to my copious comments in the comprehensive slide hand outs many times already
As someone who is looking to move into a Non-Executive Director role I found Excellencia's 
The course was a really thorough grounding in what it means to be a non-exec director and how you can apply your knowledge and skills to the role to good effect. The combination of useful information about corporate governance and directors' liabilities, a very experienced and insightful course lead in the form of David Doughty, and practical exercises about how to address particular situations that NEDs can expect to face made for a very interesting session, but also one which was directly applicable to my new role.
This one day course is an excellent overview, providing real advice and very helpful information for those Directors who are interested in developing a non-exec portfolio
An invaluable course for anyone looking for NED roles. Expertly delivered, honest and action focussed. Extremely useful materials. Feel much better equipped for to pursue opportunities as a NED.
I thought the course was enlightening and very rich in content. I particularly liked the balance of case study analysis with emphasis on a NED's key responsibility. It was well structured and I'm sure I speak on behalf of all those who were present, when I say that the course offers a great deal of value to any aspiring or even existing NED who wants to make a success of their role
An excellent course giving a clear picture of the role, the skills and characteristics required, the range of NED opportunities and the various routes to secure such positions. Particularly helpful focus on shaping your CV for this sector and the key skills required. As a bonus you also meet interesting people and useful contacts. A good career investment which will hopefully deliver quick, positive results.
I attended this course shortly after starting my first Non-Executive Director role and found David’s expertise and insight to be invaluable. The course also covers practical things such as how to go about finding Non-Executive Director roles – and so last week (6 months after I attended the course) I started my second NED role, and have an interview for a third one next week. I can highly recommend attending this course for current or aspiring NEDs.
This course is a must for any aspiring NED and even established NED's as a refresher. The content and its delivery were well paced, informative and challenging in equal measures, led by a seasoned expert whose capabilities provide a wealth of knowledge to be drawn upon. Incredible value for money and should be part of a suite of courses leading to a more formal qualification for aspiring NEDs. 100% recommended, you will not be disappointed.
I had the pleasure of attending '
David Doughty’s obvious experience and credibility, the course material and structure and the quality of attendees meant that the course was worth every penny. I now have a full appreciation of the many balls to be juggled in order to become a successful Non-Executive Director
I found the course very helpful, as I wanted to understand in detail what a NED role entailed. I felt that I gained enough information not only to decide if this was the sort of role that I would be interested in, but also to be able to function in such a role. The guidance on seeking appointments was an added bonus. It was also an interesting day with a varied group of delegates and I would happily recommend it.
I found this very useful , John really knew his stuff and made this engaging and materials were spot on and good interaction with other members on the course which added to the skill sharing- I learned a lot.
I recently attended Excellencia's NED course written and run by the highly experienced David Doughty. In one day you cover an enormous amount of ground where the topics include, Governance, Risk, Information, Due Diligence, Solvency, NED role including required skills, duties and liabilities and finally how to win a position. I recommend it highly.
I can thoroughly recommend this very well structured and informative course. It provides an excellent introduction to the remit, capabilities and attributes of NEDs.

Role Description
Lead the board of a highly regarded independent charity providing comprehensive end-of-life healthcare for the West Essex and East Hertfordshire community. We are looking for a Chair who can support us as we embark on our next exciting strategy. We are also looking for a trustee who is a senior charity leader with experience in community engagement and/or service development and delivery.
St Clare Hospice is a highly regarded independent charity providing comprehensive end-of-life healthcare for the West Essex and East Hertfordshire community. Building on the foundations of more than 30 years’ work, we support and care for people with terminal or life-limiting illnesses and their families and carers.
Our core services include an 8-bed in-patient facility, Hospice at Home, and a range of day services, therapies, bereavement support and information for patients and their families. We also run a children’s bereavement service and launched a
Compassionate Neighbours project in early 2018: a volunteer-led programme aimed at reducing social isolation for end-of-life people in their own homes.
We are a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, receiving around 40% of funding from the NHS. We rely on the generosity of our local community to fund the remaining 60% of our costs. This comes from many people, events, local businesses, trusts, schools, community groups, our shops, our lottery and gifts in Wills.
As we are about to embark on our new 2022 three-year strategy, we are looking for a new Chair of trustees who can support us as we continue to be a leader in the sector and as we deliver our ambitious new strategy. We will build on our strong foundations and success whilst achieving a continued focus on collaboration and partnership with local health, community, and voluntary groups. Part of our new strategy is to continue to build on our success in education and research which will help us maintain our credibility, reputation, and profile as a leading hospice in the UK.
We are looking for a Chair who is aligned with our values and vision that every adult with a life-limiting condition in our communities should have access to palliative care services wherever and whenever they need them. This is a hugely exciting time for our hospice and a rewarding opportunity to lead us through our next strategic phase.
Our ideal candidate is someone who has charity governance experience and who can bring a wealth of knowledge and leadership experience to enhance the performance of our board and has an open and collaborative approach. We are also looking for someone who can be an impactful ambassador for the hospice.
You will bring experience of leadership, governance and be a challenge and support for our executive team and board. We expect the time commitment for the Chair to be circa three days a month.
We are also looking for a Trustee to join our board with senior charity leadership experience particularly in community engagement and/or service development or delivery.
This person will support us as we develop and deepen our relationships, partnerships and collaboration with others in our local communities. We expect the time commitment for the trustee to be up to a day a month. This will include our four main board meetings a year which commence in the evening, membership of one of our sub-committees which meet four times a year for one to two hours, our strategy away day, reading and preparation, and other ad hoc activities.
We are looking for our board members to be aligned to our values; compassion, integrity, respect, excellence and team working.
