Buy NowWorkbooks
Turn ideas into boardroom practice.
The workbooks follow the presentations and give directors space to reflect, rate board practices, build dashboards, and leave with questions they can use before every vote. It’s included, so no separate workbook purchase needed.
Board Academy Workbook
Designed for reflection, discussion, and reuse.
The workbook mirrors the three parts of the presentation and helps participants personalize each idea for their own board.
- Reflection prompts
- Worksheets and checklists
- Rating scales and self-assessments
- Board dashboard exercises
- Questions directors can bring back to the boardroom
“Great directors don’t provide answers. They ask better questions — in the boardroom and before every vote.”
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy just one module instead of a whole package?
Yes. Every module — PowerPoint and workbook bundled together in one purchase — is available individually, in addition to the bundled packages.
What format are the PowerPoint and workbook files delivered in?
Details on delivery format and access will be confirmed at checkout.
Are all six Board Academy modules available, or just Module 1?
All six Board Academy modules are available individually, the same as the Employee Academy modules.
Why does the book cite specific numbers instead of just making a values-based case?
Because credibility with a skeptical audience — directors, executives, and finance-literate members — depends on it. Claims like the $38 billion in aggregate member benefit reported by the NCUA for year-end 2024, or the $250 to $400 average annual credit card savings, are sourced and specific enough to be checked, which is exactly what makes them more persuasive than a values statement alone.
