Why being on a Nonprofit Board is the BEST leadership development experience

This week, we have something a little different for our listeners and a shorter episode than normal. As we get some great information from some amazing board members, we are not always able to touch on specific topics we think can provide value for our listeners. That brings us to this episode, which is not an interview format, but where we discuss an idea that is close to The Corley Company's heart. Here at The Corley Company, we truly believe that being on a nonprofit board is the best leadership development experience available for anyone. Michael takes some time this episode to give you 7 reasons why we believe being on a nonprofit board is the BEST leadership development experience for anyone.

If you know someone who is looking to advance their leadership skills, but just doesn't have the opportunities in their day job, please share this episode with them. We believe they can get a ton experience in leadership by being on a nonprofit board, while also making their community a better place.
