Director-Shift Card Set: Boardroom Language

Develop your voice in the boardroom.

The boardroom has its own language. Learning how to use that language effectively is an important part of developing as a director.

The Director-Shift™ Boardroom Language Card Set helps directors reflect on how language influences confidence, participation, inclusion and decision-making. It explores the journey from learning unfamiliar boardroom terminology and finding your voice, to understanding how words can reinforce hierarchy or encourage greater participation.

The cards also encourage directors to consider whether procedural language is genuinely supporting good governance and sound decision-making, or whether it may sometimes limit useful challenge and inquiry.

Ideal for directors who want to communicate with greater confidence, clarity and purpose in the boardroom.
