Thank you Amanda for delivering your inspiring session for our employees at Leadership School. Your thoughtful connections to the previous speakers and passionate insights resonated deeply. Your key messages around resource, reach, and diversity got people thinking about their networks and what they can offer to others. You’ve made a difference for us at the Ministry of Justice.
I partnered with Amanda at Personal Boardroom to design and deliver a networking-focused learning experience for our diverse talent community. Amanda expertly scaled the delivery for two live events and trained internal learning partners to facilitate activities. Participant feedback was fantastic. Amanda is a content expert, flexible facilitator, and agile workshop designer. I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with her.
Amanda delivered an action-oriented networking skills session for the EDF Talent Community that was highly engaging and practical. Her approach helped participants identify their networking strengths and areas for development. By blending theory with live practice and providing clear takeaways, the session received outstanding feedback, including praise for being one of the best sessions and a valuable opportunity to enhance networking within and beyond the Talent Community.
At last, some practical advice on networking! We are genetically endowed with social networking skills—it is part of what makes the human species so effective. We know good networking drives success, but how do we get better at it? Simply trying harder is not the answer. We need a clear goal and a strategy for achieving it. The Personal Boardroom is a simple but powerful framework for doing just that. For anyone looking for a more effective network, this is essential reading.
Zella King and Amanda Scott have nailed the secret of modern career success: knowing who to ask for help from, and how to help others in equal measure.
A brilliant, simple and intuitive way to set about personal and career development
The Baileys global team is leading a transformational turnaround on the brand. This requires working with a very broad group of stakeholders. Working with Amanda and the Personal Boardroom tools enabled us to sharpen and tighten our relationship maps, identify areas where we were missing key roles in our virtual boardroom and also identify how and where to add divergent and more diverse thinking to our team.
Zella’s session was inspiring in the way that it asked some fundamental questions about our business and personal relationships, encouraging strategic but also very practical action to broaden our perspective. Zella helped us identify and target a variety of opportunities, which we can leverage with a powerful tool to help us think about managing our refreshed networks as the year unfolds.
At ESB, we celebrate inclusion. This year on International Women’s Day, we hosted a Masterclass on Strategic Networking and invited Amanda Scott from Personal Boardroom to show us how to really power up our networks and build relationships that empower us every day, to achieve our potential and to be at our best. Who is in Your Personal Boardroom encourages each of us to consciously strive for a diverse personal boardroom and to Pay It Forward by playing one to of the 12 Personal Boardroom roles for someone else.
As someone who doesn’t like the whole idea of networking, I love the Personal Boardroom construct. It helped me really think about what I need to prioritise and gave me a structure to do it within. My observation was that a number of others felt the same and got some real benefit from the speed network session by being able to have focussed and meaningful discussions aligned to their goals
Thank you for your interest in Personal Boardroom. Do ask questions about what we do and how we work. Amanda or Zella will get back to you shortly.
