About this Event

Tired of meetings that meander? Decisions that drift? Actions that disappear?

This intensive, peer-coaching workshop transforms the way trustees and chairs work and makes ‘boardroom effectiveness’ a reality! In just one day, you will move from strategy fog to crystal clarity, from endless discussion to decisive action.

What Makes This Different?

This isn't theory—it's practical transformation. You will work alongside fellow Trustees, Directors and Leaders to build real tools for your real board challenges, tailored to your charity's context and ready to implement immediately.

You will leave with five powerful governance tools:

  • Strategy-on-a-Page that turns mission into actionable priorities
  • Board Communication Charter that eliminates confusion and boosts engagement
  • Accountability Map & Decision Register that ensures nothing falls through the cracks
  • Board Behaviours Compact that creates psychological safety and productive challenge
  • 90-Day Board Sprint Plan with owners, milestones, and accountability partners

Perfect For:

New Trustees seeking confidence and practical skills fast

Seasoned Trustees & Chairs ready to elevate board performance and engagement

Executive team wanting cleaner processes with better follow-through

Small-Medium Charities where every board hour must deliver maximum impact

What's Included:

Full-Day Workshop - Intensive coaching session in Leeds city centre with fellow governance leaders (including optional lunch 12.45-1.30 with opportunities to network)

Complete Resource Toolkit - All templates, frameworks, and implementation guides for real change

90-Day Follow-Up Session - Online accountability check-in to ensure lasting transformation

Why This Investment Matters

Your charity's impact depends on governance that works. This workshop delivers immediate ROI through tools you will use at your very next meeting, plus capability uplift that compounds over time. The peer-coaching format creates lasting networks and shared accountability.

Ready to transform your board culture from the ground up?
