What industry you want to work in? What size of company? Is it compensated, non-compensated, public versus private? There are all these sorts of things you have to help me figure out to know what you should do, and it only then that  I can even begin to start giving you guidance. It's as if I went to you guys and said, "Guys, help me get a job," you'd say, "What does it mean?"   Even after you have given some thought to getting a board seat, I would test you a little bit. All right, so tell me what's most important. Is it the compensation?" And some people would say, yes. I appreciate their honesty, but that's not a good driver for it. "But okay, if it is the compensation, what do you think you're going to make in what are you trying to do?" "Well, I want to be on the board of JP Morgan and make $250,000 a year." I'm like, "Hmm. What kind of size company did you work in?" ”I worked at a bunch of startups." "Well, that's probably not realistic. Let's take what you came up with and let's talk about reality. You're probably not going to be on a board with a company cap size bigger than where you've worked before.   If, for example, you have only worked in private companies, then you should focus on that. There are lots of different opportunities there. I would take exactly what you said, Joe, let's dive into it a little bit more, make sure we're all coming from the same page, and then you can come up with a game plan to do it.   Once you've got that, okay, networking is going to be a big part of it. For some people that's a dirty word. It doesn't need to be a dirty word. How big is your network today? Do you know people who are on boards? Do you know people that service boards like accountants and consultants and lawyers that can be helpful for you? And then how much time will you spend every week? Are you going to spend an hour a day? Are you going to spend an hour a week? Now, a lot of that's going to predict how long it's going to take for you and how successful you will ultimately be.     Big Ideas/Thoughts   Being a Board Member is a job Joe  Some people don't understand that a board seat is a job. Some people think it's kind of a nice thing to do when you retire or in your “spare time” but in fact, it's a job and you need to take it as seriously as you would any other job.     Accepting a board seat I think most first-time board members will usually jump at the chance to be on any board, and that is not a great idea.  Someone has worked really hard to land a paid board seat. That was their dream, that was their goal, and they made it happen. You're super excited, this is amazing, right?  Well, it doesn't mean you should take it. Think about this as like you're applying for a job. Just because you get a job offer doesn't mean it's going to be a fit. Is this a place where you're setting yourself up for success? Can you do this? Do you want to do this? Boards are very different from each other.   Some boards rubber stamp what the CEO comes up with. Is that the kind of board you want to be on? If so, great. Know that other boards are very collaborative, very open, very discussion oriented, very much about coming up with a strategy that helps the organization. Is that the type of board you're going to fit in with? Is that the kind of the space you want to be in?   Due Diligence before accepting a board seat An example of doing due diligence: A guest was offered her first board seat, and she had worked really hard to get it. She was excited about it, it was a public company, it checked all the boxes, but she didn't feel comfortable. She went through the interview process but had that little person on her shoulder telling me “there's a danger here, Will Robinson” - think about this."    Here's what happened: She offered:  "Let me sign some NDA so I can sit in one meeting. I won't vote. I'm just sitting in the back. I want to observe. I need to observe." And they thought she was the right person, so they agreed to this. I don't know why. She actually saw a fistfight break out during the meeting. She's like, "I knew this was not the place for me."   That's an extreme version of due diligence.  The point is you want to be on the right board for you because you will do well. And if you do well, that will lead to other boards because the people you're sitting and working with will inevitably also be connected to other boards and they'll know, "Oh my gosh, Johnny over here was phenomenal. I should think of another opportunity." But if you stink it up in the boardroom, you're not going to get another one.   Bo proactive about onboarding Alexander Isn't it terribly ironic that companies spend all of this time and energy and money trying to bring someone on, but don't didn't treat a bioard members the way they treat any normal employee who they hire.   Joe Yes, ironic that people, boards, organizations spend so much time recruiting and then they drop the ball with onboarding and fail to get full value out of this person.   Alexander If you think about this whole onboarding process, show up at your desk, all the stuff is laying there and you come to a certain training and meet all the people. Often, in the boardroom, it's, "Well, you know what you're doing. We'll just throw you in, come to the next meeting and you'll be great." That's not setting anybody up for success.   If your company is not taking it upon themselves to do a proper onboarding process, make sure that you are doing it to set yourself up for success.

Alex is a Professor of Finance who also acts as a Board Member and Advisor for various fintech and financial services companies. He holds a unique perspective of what makes for the best board practice, is truly a fountain of information and inspiration!

In this episode, Alex shares what got him into governance, and the big realisation he had that led him to it.  Alex and Paul also get into topics like: The difficulties people have getting into big-time board roles – especially if it’s early days in their professional career Why is it more typical for younger people to head down the NFP track? Learning to think about things on every level, plus how to challenge that thinking AND other people Throughout his years of experience, who has Alex recognised to be the most helpful person in any boardroom? How to think about what’s coming ahead and using foresight wherever possible The benefits of having both a fresh perspective and a mentor The fine line that boards need to balance on, juggling healthy scepticism with an encouraging culture Why trust is the currency of the boardroom, and how you can promote more of it The one big issue with how board roles have (usually) been filled in the past That growing sense of diversity on a governance level, and why it’s just so important How to stop being reactive and start being proactive instead And, perhaps most interestingly, what will the world look like post COVID19?

Alexander Lowry Gordon College Alexander Lowry is a Professor of Finance at Gordon College, head of the Master of Science in Financial Analysis program. He's also into advising businesses that students can potentially work for. In this week’s episode, Alexander shares with us an affordable option to get a finance degree for veterans who wish to transition into the finance world. “From my perspective, hands down, the best leadership guys are military... But on the flip side of that, you’re competing against people who have been doing a certain job for many years.” - Alexander Lowry Alexander Lowry - From History to Wall Street Alexander was a history major and always assumed he was bound to go to business and finance. Deviating from this path, he got into management consulting. This field, he thinks, is a great training ground, as it gives exposure to different industries and sectors. The Cohen Veterans Network, a not-for-profit philanthropic organization, was created to serve them by providing high-quality, accessible, and integrated mental health care. But even after over a decade in this profession, his “Wall Street itch” just had to be scratched. With a Wharton Masters in Business Administration experience, he was finally able to move across. MBA vs MS in Finance For most people who’d like to be part of the business industry, it’s mostly a choice between MBA or finance. Picking one is easy. It’s a matter of whether you know where you want to go in the future. Taking up MBA entails learning all the subjects from operations, accounting, and finance. There’s the eventual internship that matches you up with the right job that suits you. You also get to choose any field of specialization that you want. But if you’re pretty set on finance, you wouldn’t want to take up two more years of learning basically everything. Taking up a one-year finance program like the one offered at Gordon will save you over a hundred grand. It will also allow you a few years of working experience. On Military Fitting in Finance A lot of hiring managers seem to prefer experienced financiers over military veterans. It’s the easy way, but it’s not always the right way. Alexander maintains that veterans have a lot more to offer, owing to their training and inherent leadership skills. “When hiring someone, I only need two things. I need to know they’re intelligent and passionate. Because if you have those, I can train you to do any job.” - Alexander Lowry Good news is, many companies have been exerting effort to understand veterans and the actual value they can bring.

Alexander is the executive director of the master of science in Financial Analysis program at Gordon College. Today, he shares the story of how he ended up at Gordon College and the unique way the program is changing financial culture. Before the Lord led him to directing the program, Alexander worked in the financial industry and aspired to a powerful career. Friends introduced him to the New Canaan Society where he learned in vulnerability and made some great friends. Alexander's passion for ethics in the financial world is evident as he talks about the need to see more ethically grounded, biblically literate people embedded in the workforce. Please listen and share with a friend! Stories Alexander shared: Finding Jesus on a church mission trip How Tim Keller ruined him for other preachers Why community is so important in his life The moment his parents told him they were getting divorced and how that shaped his view of God Joining the New Canaan Society and God's shaping of his life How to hold a soft heart in the middle of a hard environment The opportunity to join Gordon College to make a difference His goal to add more Gordon graduates to the financial workforce How Gordon is working to add faith and ethics to the financial world Great quotes from Alexander: You're the 1% for the world. Jesus is the most feminine man I've ever seen and yet he was the strongest man as well. He knew emotions and he knew how to use them. That's powerful. We think about places where God can be and we can have more God. Financial Services is a place we can have more God.
