Board Presence provided a fresh perspective to an independent review of our governance performance. Stacey performed the work in a timely manner, and made staff and committee feel at ease throughout the process. The report was practical and concise with a list of recommendations and suggested timeframes to implement. Stacey made herself available to provide further detail when required and we would highly recommend this service to other organisations.

Stacey is a subject matter expert in governance, risk, and strategy. Stacey has the unique ability to take something and make sense of it when no one else can! An exceptional ability to forward-think and navigate complex issues. She takes a problem, analyses and evaluates, and then makes sense of how to navigate a way forward which achieves meaningful outcomes for the organization. Stacey is a pleasure to work with and always demonstrates the highest level of professionalism, accountability, and leadership.

Stacey helped us with our planning for the future. She ran an engagement process for us including an online survey as well as facilitating a strategic planning workshop forum with our members. The process consolidated our thinking, confirmed our direction and provided clarity around our short term and long term priorities. Stacey was professional in her approach and comprehensive in guiding us to make collective decisions for improvements and greater value for members. I would highly recommend Stacey.

Stacey Daniel came highly recommended and was engaged by us to conduct a full organisational and Board review. Stacey nailed the brief and captured the exact situation our organisation was in and importantly what we needed to do. We later did an Annual Review which Stacey cut through and articulated our situation, making it clear the work to be done to secure our organisation into the future.

This book happened to crop up at the right time when I had questions on my mind about pursuing board roles and what to expect from typical board roles. The book answered all my questions and provided valuable insight on the skills required for a board position.
