After many years in the corporate world, Jennifer is now consulting, using her vast experience to assist organisations in leadership and transformation.  She has also decided that the boardroom is her next calling.  In this podcast Jennifer shares her journey as someone relatively new to the board arena, including the systematic approach she has taken to learn about boards, how she has built her board collateral, and how she sees her eight applications as a learning process to help define her board value. Jennifer provides a true and honest account of her challenges and what she\u2019s learned so far. While she\u2019s still is seeking her first elusive board role, we\u2019re sure that with Jennifer\u2019s experience, hard work and approach, that it won\u2019t be long.  Watch this space!
