Athena Founder and CEO Coco Brown shares her thoughts on thinking beyond the boardroom, encouraging women to adopt a broader "Portfolio of Impact" approach encompassing diverse professional activities such as investing, entrepreneurship, advisory roles, and thought leadership, which can lead to board opportunities while ensuring continued relevance and income. Read Coco's thoughts and engage in discussion in the post below. ⬇️ #AthenaAlliance #AthenaImpact #Leadership #WomenLeaders
FOUNDER, CEO & BOARD MEMBER – Advisor & Thought Leader | Speaker & Author | Recognized as an Expert in Shaping the Modern Boardroom and Modern Leadership
I want to challenge us all to think beyond the boardroom. Serving on boards is not the pinnacle expression of your value as a business leader; nor is it the only way for you to continue to maintain professional relevance and make money into later years. Serving on boards is unlikely for most leaders, not because of qualifications, but because of supply. Consider that there are 40k private and public company boards in the US that require independent directors, the average tenure of a board member is longer than the US marriage at 8.5 years, and the average board size across the full landscape is about 5. This article isn't about dissuading you from an ambition toward board service. I've spent the last 8 years helping women achieve that goal and I am fully dedicated to ensuring parity at the top of business. What this is about is encouraging women to think bigger than boards, and to realize that the more you focus on a Portfolio of Impact, the more likely a board role is - when you invest, pursue entrepreneurship, serve as an advisor, stand on stages as a thought leader, you are in realms where board roles come to be. Give these areas attention too, and more will come to you both in likelihood of a board role, and satisfaction even if one takes a long time to come by. Engage me in this discussion.

What if we reimagined work as fun and play, thinking beyond the linear career paths of previous generations? Imagine having 80 or 90 incredible years to offer, viewing yourself not just as a job title but as a brand with a unique set of skills and experiences. Consider the possibilities: advisor, board member, entrepreneur, investor, thought leader. What would you do to not only continue making a living, but make an impact and satisfy your soul?
