A Global Community That Challenges You to Grow
Joining Veblen was one of the biggest mindset shifts I’ve made since leaving the corporate world. If you’re expecting a traditional training programme where you sit back and absorb content, this isn’t it. Veblen gives you the framework, opportunities, community and support, but the work is still yours to do. That philosophy is one of the backbones of how Veblen operates. What surprised me most was the calibre of the global community. You’re surrounded by experienced leaders from different industries, countries and backgrounds who genuinely want to see one another succeed. The willingness to share knowledge, make introductions and celebrate each other’s progress creates an environment that’s both challenging and incredibly supportive. The programme has helped me think differently about governance, board leadership and the value I can bring beyond my corporate experience. It isn’t always comfortable, especially if you’ve spent years in large organisations where you’re used to structured career paths, but that’s exactly where the growth happens. If you’re prepared to invest in yourself, engage with the community and do the work, Veblen provides a great platform to start your board journey.
