C-Suite to Boardroom Success: Navigating The Transition

This RoundTable focuses on the strategic path female leaders can take to earn a seat in the boardroom: how to position themselves, build the right relationships, and navigate the realities of board service once they're in the room.

Moderated by Kathryn Janicek (CEO of JPG), the conversation features Daina Middleton (Board Member, Leadership Coach, former CEO, and author of Grace Meets Grit) and Jackie Yeaney (Former CMO, Board Member for public companies and nonprofits, and Executive Coach), each bringing relevant and impressive experience from decades of corporate leadership and active board service.

This discussion blends personal board journeys with practical, actionable strategies—helping female leaders understand not just how to get on a board, but the considerations throughout the process, and what to expect once they're serving.

What We Explore

During the RoundTable, our Advisors discussed:

Why Be on a Board and Why Now?

It’s important to consider the full impact and responsibility of being on a board. Our panelists share what drove their own decisions and why starting with intention changes everything about how you approach the path.

The Real Path to the Boardroom

Many female leaders already have the experience and qualifications needed to be a successful board member. Learn how to position your experience to appeal to a board, which types of boards to consider, and how to activate the relationships that will actually get you in the room.

What You Need to Know Before You Say Yes

Board service comes with real accountability… and the stakes have gone up. Having an understanding of the questions every candidate should ask before accepting a seat, from fiduciary responsibility and personal liability to board makeup and culture will help guide your decision.

A sample of the RoundTable recording.

Daina Middleton talks about what it really takes to join a board — and the answer might surprise you. In this clip, she breaks down why you don't need a special skill set to pursue a board seat, why financial literacy is the one foundation worth building, and how the real key is positioning yourself around the specific value you bring to a company.
