​Event Description

​Chairs, headhunters and search firms often look at a LinkedIn profile before they open a CV, so your profile online will shape how a board and board recruiters see you. For many accomplished executives, their LinkedIn profile reads like an executive biography, with little to show the judgement, oversight and strategic thinking a board is looking for.

​In this one-hour virtual masterclass, Victoria McLean, CEO of City CV, shows you how to turn your LinkedIn profile into a platform for board opportunities. Victoria sits on a number of boards herself and spends much of her time helping senior professionals get appointed to them.

​Whether you’re preparing for a first advisory or Non-Executive Director (NED) role, building a portfolio career or looking for your next board seat, you’ll see what to change and why.

​There’s live Q&A, so you can put your own LinkedIn questions to Victoria and leave with changes you can make the same day.

​What you'll learn

• ​How to rank higher in search with the right keywords and profile structure

• ​How to build gravitas and present yourself as a credible board-level leader

• ​How to show your impact in a way that speaks to boards

• ​How to get noticed by headhunters and decision-makers

• ​The common mistakes that make a senior profile blend in or undersell you

​Who should join

​This masterclass is for senior professional women with a board seat in view or already on a board. It suits aspiring and current NEDs, executives building a portfolio career and anyone who wants a stronger board-level presence online.
