It’s rare that a CEO has the privilege of writing the words “I LOVE my Board!” and genuinely meaning it! The directors of Mettle Women Inc. are meritorious humans with hearts larger and more generous than most. In thinking about how I could introduce them to our community I felt that listing their credentials, although very impressive, was a bit boring. So I thought I’d share how I introduced them to each other. It’s very colloquial but that’s how we get stuff done around here. We are authentic with each other and we all operate with one thing in mind “HOW WILL WE ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF IMAPCT FOR THE WOMEN WE EXIST TO SERVE?” Our ego is checked at the door of every board meeting and we work together knowing that what we’re uniting for is bigger than us.

So, here’s the email our board of directors received when I e-introduced them to each other for the first time:

“Thank you SO much for agreeing to come on this journey with me. I have come to you because I respect each of you and hold your professional and personal attributes with such high regard! I am so honoured to have a Board of such magnificent people and can’t wait to see the impact that we can have working together. I’ll organise a proper catch up drinks to go with our first official Board meeting this week but before I do, please meet your fellow Board Members by way of me trying to convey how great you all are without being too mooshy…(too late)”
