A place to share what I’ve learned
Through it all, I learned that good governance is about process—it’s about people, purpose, and the insights to ask better questions. My work now focuses on helping directors think more clearly, decide more wisely, and lead more effectively.
Ask the Director's Compass AI
The Director’s Compass uses AI to translate my experience—years of lectures, case studies, and board practice—into an interactive learning tool. It’s designed for directors who want context, clarity, and practical wisdom in a world that rarely offers it.
For your library
My goal is to make governance clearer, more human, and more useful. These latest and upcoming booklets distill the lessons I’ve gathered over a lifetime in the boardroom, not as theory, but as lived experience.
