Considering a Move into Non‑Executive Director Roles?
Are you thinking about transitioning from an executive career into non‑executive work? Perhaps you’re already undertaking unpaid NED or trustee roles and would like practical guidance on how to secure paid appointments. Or maybe you’re simply exploring your options and curious about what non‑executive roles really involve — and how to get started.
If any of this resonates, this session is for you.
We’re delighted to welcome Paul Starbuck, CEO of Starbuck & Associates, who will be hosting this insightful and practical online event. Paul is an experienced Non‑Executive Director and a respected executive and NED coach, with a deep understanding of what organisations are really looking for when appointing non‑executives — and how candidates can position themselves successfully.
Paul will bring the NED landscape to life, sharing candid insights and actionable advice to help you optimise your chances of securing non‑executive appointments.
During the session, Paul will explore:
- What organisations typically look for in a Non‑Executive Director
- Common challenges when transitioning into NED roles — and how to navigate them
- The key qualities and behaviours of successful NEDs
- Practical tips for making strong applications, including CVs, interviews and follow‑up strategies
This will be an informal and highly interactive online session, shaped by the questions and curiosity of those attending. Paul encourages open discussion, so please feel free to ask questions, share experiences, and join the conversation — chances are others are wondering the same thing.
