What boards we’ve worked with say

Patrick Ryan (Chair) & Adele McLennan (Secretary), BYSA

Future Directors have worked alongside the Board of our not-for-profit through a period of intense change. They have provided us with formal training, recruitment assistance, and advice. Their support has given us the confidence we needed to respond to significant organisational challenges and to plan for a stronger future. We would highly recommend their services.
Lucy & Rosie Thomas, Founders of Project Rockit

"Paul has been absolutely invaluable in helping us to assemble our first formal board of directors. This can be a very daunting process (especially as founders), but his approach is super accessible and couched in clear and effective frameworks to help us get intentional on who we need and why. Paul committed the time and energy to deeply understanding our fears and hopes. Even if you have extensive board experience, we highly recommend working with Paul."
Steve Taitoko, Managing Director Eratos

"I have known and respected the work of Future Directors for some years, and when we needed structure to the shape and makeup of the board of our startup it was a no-brainer to engage Paul and his team. The process, facilitation, and outcome have been even better than imagined, and we are well on the path to having a highly engaged, diverse, and contributory board guiding the business."
Zoe Black, Founder Happy Paws Happy Hearts

“Happy Paws Happy Hearts was connected to FDI through a competitive Westpac Foundation process. We were incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with Paul and FDI. His reputation preceded him and we were thrilled with the immediate impact it had for our Board. Paul was able to guide us on our Board dynamics, meetings, skillset and to continue asking ourselves the right questions for maximum impact on a cause close to all of our hearts. Our HPHH Chair has a lot of experience on Boards and I know he found the one-on-one feedback and coaching from Paul particularly insightful. “
