Send us a textBeyond Minutes: Reimagining the Board Secretary in the Age of AIIs today's board secretary ready for tomorrow's boardroom?In this episode, Moya Heyhurst returns to the Better Boards Podcast to explore how AI is reshaping not just how company secretaries work—but what their role means. A fellow of the Chartered Governance Institute with 25+ years' experience, Moya shares insights from her work across industries and with the Centre for AI in Board Effectiveness.Board secretaries sit at the intersection of governance and transformation. This episode explores how they can lead—not lag—as expectations rise.The Role Is Changing—The Only Question Is How“If you define yourself as just arranging meetings and writing minutes, then this is a call to arms.”Secretaries must move beyond logistics to remain relevant in an AI-enabled boardroom.Not Just Automation—A Shift in Purpose“AI can either destroy your world or make it better. It's how you decide to use it.”AI isn't just a tool—it's a turning point. It can elevate how governance professionals deliver insight and value.The Strategic Partner Boards Didn't Know They Had“Company secretaries know where everything is—and they know the risks of what's at their fingertips.”Great secretaries already drive board effectiveness. It's time the role reflects that.From Admin to Governance Intelligence“If board secretaries don't step forward, someone else will.”The board's demand for strategic input is rising. If secretaries don't fill the gap, others will.From Shadow Influence to Vocal Leadership“We need to surface the role of the board secretary to unlock the value already inside organisations.”Speaking up isn't about ego—it's about relevance.How to Get Started“Secretaries don't have to know how to do it all. They need to know where the answers are—and how to connect them.”Three Key TakeawaysThis is not a task shift—it's a role shift.Step forward—or others will.The profession is ready—if it's intentional.Remember to subscribe and never miss an episode of the Better Boards Podcast Series.

Join your host, Jeffery Wang, in this inspiring episode of the 10 Lessons Learned, where we discuss invaluable insights for career, business, and life. In this episode, we welcome Jason Wong, an accredited leadership coach, strategy ninja, and a kindness practitioner. Hailing from one of Sydney's most successful Chinese families, Jason shares his unique journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and finding fulfillment beyond material success. With engaging discussions about re calibrating life's priorities, nurturing meaningful relationships, promoting diversity and inclusion, and constantly learning, we uncover some of Jason's key lessons that have shaped his leadership style and understanding of success. Tune in for this enlightening conversation and walk away with practical nuggets of wisdom that go beyond the textbook. About Jason Wong Jason was born into one of Sydney's most successful and influential Chinese families and has fond memories of running around Sydney's Chinatown after school.  He was educated at one of Australia's top selective private schools for boys and with his family's network of connections, the world was his oyster. But his life didn't play out the way that he thought it would and, influenced by a number of key people and events, he embarked on a journey involving lots of deep reflection and making plenty of personal adjustments. He has held multiple leadership roles throughout his career but believes that his most important and most satisfying role was being a stay-at-home Dad to his three daughters, which included upping his game as partner to his amazing wife.   He works to improve technology leadership in not-for-profit, for-purpose and community-focused organisations  and he now runs his own coaching & strategic consultancy practice, Tyger Technology Leadership, developing tech leaders of the future.    He is a former president of his children's school P&C association and is now the Board Secretary of the NSW P&C Federation, working with influential education stakeholders to improve public schooling in NSW.  He also facilitates local Dads groups and events, to support and engage Dads in their parenting journeys. A few people leave deep impressions in your life, and you have certainly left one with me. Of the thousands of people I've come across during business, some just lives out their values in how they behave and treat others around them.

This week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Judi Cohen, known in the cruise community as Traveling Judi. I featured Traveling Judi in my second cruising book, Cruising Interrupted  amzn.to/3seFU8y in a section called “Cruisers Like You and Me... Sort Of.” Traveling Judi is a fervent world cruiser with a penchant for smaller, and even tiny ships relative to mainstream cruise ships. Judi is also a travel writer extraordinaire—in fact, I met her through my association with Quirky Cruise online magazine, for whom she is a significant contributor. Quirky was also featured in Cruising Interrupted and on the podcast. From travelingjudi.com: Judi has traveled the world in search of unique experiences and off-the-beaten-path destinations. She is also a connoisseur of small-ship cruises that pack big adventure, and local cultural and dining experiences. Judi became a full-time traveler and travel advisor in 2015 following her 35-year career in engineering and transportation, and today she writes about her experiences to inspire others to step outside their comfort zones and embrace new kinds of adventures. Judi has been to over 90 countries on six continents and enjoys sharing her stories along the way. Her training and experience as a Health Coach and as a Travel Advisor allows her to plan trips and seek out wellness destinations and experiences.  Combined with her story-telling  skills, she has become an accomplished Travel Writer accredited by SATW,  NATJA and IFWTWA, and her work has been published on travel websites such as Quirkycruise.com. She is also a Board Member on the Travel Media Association of Canada's (TMAC) National Board and Board Secretary. It was fun interviewing Judi for Cruising Interrupted. A couple of anecdotes stick in my mind. One, was from Judi's recollection of her expedition cruise to Antarctica. ‘…one of the most memorable—maybe not in a good way—was crossing the Drake Passage. It was rough, it was crazy, and my husband gets seasick in a bathtub,' Judi laughed. The other was asking Judi about her bucket list. As you know I ask all interviewees about what's on their bucket list. Judi's response was colorful and hilarious. Unfortunately, I can't repeat it on the podcast! What I can quote is ‘I liken bucket list to ‘before I die.' For me, I am much more forward-thinking than that. I want to do these things while I am healthy, while I can, and while I am still interested. I don't know, talking about what I am going to do before I die just has a negative connotation...I'm more about turning my dreams into memories every day.” Support the show

It is axiomatic that if you want to have a successful legal career, you need to learn your craft. Most areas of legal practice require highly refined analytical abilities coupled with good judgment. For the most part, the first developmental task of any new lawyer is to learn how to practice law. But if you want to advance in your career, you need to be more than a good technician.  Demonstrating executive presence is also key. In this episode, I am pleased to introduce John Buckley, Board Secretary and General Counsel for the North Carolina operations of a multinational mobility infrastructure company.  John talks about how building your executive presence is critical to advancing your career, especially if you want to want to take on leadership responsibilities. In a great conversation, John discusses what executive presence is, who needs it, and what it looks like. He offers his practical tips on how increase your own executive presence. Over the summer, I heard John give a great presentation on this topic for the American Bar Association and I decided I had to have him on the show.  Lucky for me, he accepted my invitation right away. John Buckley has served 3 times as the first in-house counsel for start-ups.  He has 15 years of solo/small law department General Counsel experience.  He began his professional life as an engineer for Duke Power.

Today I want to highlight the work of another pharmacy and entrepreneur colleague, Dr. Stephanie Young Moss (aka “Yomo”). She caught my eye on Instagram, where she shines her light on wellness, family dynamics, pharmacy practice, and disparities in healthcare. A practical tip that she shared in the episode has stuck with me, about how learning goes both ways. For example, shadowing allows healthcare students to learn from professionals, but the mentors also get the opportunity to learn. A relationship with someone different than you helps you understand where they're coming from and how you can serve different populations. Dr. Stephanie received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Xavier University of Louisiana College of Pharmacy and a Masters of Health Services Administration with a concentration in Health Economics from The University of Wyoming.

Stacey and Levi also shared these documents which I found very helpful:Glossary of Terms (https://pflag.org/glossary)Faith FAQs (https://pflag.org/faithfaq)Becoming a Trans Ally 101 (https://pflag.org/transally101recording)Finally, Levi ends each of his emails with this phrase -- "courage, kindness and lasting change," -- keep it handy!PFLAG is a national organization founded in 1972 by Jeanne Manford, who marched with her son, in a gay pride parade in New York, with a sign that read: "Parents of Gays Unite."  It has become one of the most important organizations building support for friends and families of the LGBTQ+ community.  Gender Revolution: A Journey with Katie CouricFinally, please remember to subscribe to this podcast, give us a review and follow us on all of our social media platforms:FacebookInstagramTwitterAnd PLEASE reach out to us by email with any suggestions for guests or episode ideas that YOU want see covered:  Email: Biteyourtonguepodcast@gmail.comFinally, remember there are just sometimes you have to BITE YOUR TONGUE!Until next time - keep on listening!
