What does it really take for women to make it to the boardroom?

Hosted by Michelle Martin Guest: Jovina Ang, Director of Communication and Board Member, this episode examines the hidden rules of board appointments. 

We explore the four distinct paths women can take to board roles — from the tough CEO track to skills-based expertise, legacy leadership, and recognized thought leadership.

Jovina Ang shares why sponsorship, not just mentorship, can make the difference.

She also unpacks strategies for building a personal brand, showing social proof, and attracting the right sponsors.

For aspiring women leaders, this is a roadmap to prepare before opportunity knocks.
