Managing Director at The Alternative Board (Bristol North)", "I had the pleasure of attending a recent How to become a Non-Executive Director course that David ran.
As someone who not only runs their own business, has had a career and built up experience the opportunity to learn more about this was too good to miss.
David’s experience and expertise shone through as the day progressed – beginning with the roles, responsibilities, the legal aspects , the liabilities – all explained with examples of the good, the bad and the ugly of what has happened. David went through the skillset and actual case studies based on his career as an NED in all three sectors. This enabled there to be some great discussions where questions were answered. The structure of the day that David put together was second to none as I was taken through a well organised and flowing workshop – culminating in how I would secure a NED position. What was refreshing was the fact that David continually referred to his experience and not what you’d find in a text book coupled with a wealth of resources that are available. I would wholeheartedly recommend attending one of Execellensia courses that David runs and to point others that you know who may be interested in David’s direction. Sean Humby Director & host - Business Network (SW) Ltd, lunch time networking. And Accredited Sales through Service licensee", "How to become a Non-Executive Director

\'\'This course is a must for any aspiring NED and even established NED's as a refresher. The content and its delivery were well paced, informative and challenging in equal measures, led by a seasoned expert whose capabilities provide a wealth of knowledge to be drawn upon. Incredible value for money and should be part of a suite of courses leading to a more formal qualification for aspiring NEDs. 100% recommended, you will not be disappointed. Jon Cross Managing Director at Essenjay Associates Ltd", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
As an introduction to the world of NED's this course is well structured to give an honest and practical insight in to how to identify and prepare for a move in this direction. Money well spent! John Cooper, Vice President, North West Europe at Weber-Stephen Products LLC United Kingdom", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
\'\'I did the course in Bristol, in January on a chilly day. I received a warm welcome however and David brought the subject matter to life, made it practical, and tailored it to our specific objectives. The course structure made sense, we had enjoyable discussions, and the other people on the course (as usual with such things) were a good resource too. I can recommend it fully to anyone considering it. You'll be in capable and experienced hands. Alex Nichols Director at Alex Nichols Consulting Ltd", "\'\'David's How to become a Non-Executive Director course is truly excellent. He provides context, knowledge and insight, with practical illumination from his own extensive personal experience. He is endlessly patient, deeply informative and always interesting to listen to. I cannot recommend this course too highly Chris Kenber Practical business coach bringing clarity and energy to help ambitious business owners raise their game", "Finance for Non-Finance Directors

\'\'David is a solid expert. The overview of the role of a NED was very well presented. Highly recommended. Jean-Philippe Perraud Founder at NEDonBoard", "I found the How to become a Non-Executive Director course very informative and well presented. I would recommend it as a good overview of Board Function and personal requirements. It gave me clarity about things I thought I already knew but clearly did not. The small number of attendees made for a more personal interactive day which we all appreciated Maire Brankin, Director at Oxford Executive", "Thank you for the interesting session on Social Media that I attended recently.
It was very thought provoking, and I left armed with a list of actions to take to improve the on-line presence of my business.
Thanks again. Sarah Schofield Owner of SchofieldVA, providing a wide range of business support services", "Unlike many courses I have attended in the past, How to become a Non-Executive Director went beyond just the technical aspects of being a 'Non-Exec', and reflected on the differences in the approach required compared to being an Exec Director.
It allows you to make a fully informed decision on whether a Non Exec role is right for you, and if it is, how to go about finding opportunities.
An invaluable day of learning! Alastair Lewis Managing Director at Carlisle Support Services Ltd", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
A well structured and presented introduction to the responsibilities, challenges and attributes required of being a NED. It was thought-provoking.

Jim Gaudoin, Director of Bruel & Kjaer VTS Limited", "Having attended one of David's Social Media seminars in the past, can I highly commend anyone still sitting on the bottom rung, watching everyone else climb the social media engagement ladder, to attend, listen and be enlightened by what David will no doubt convey Sam Finlay Experts in Creating Engaging Video & Animated Videos that Explain the Value of What You Do.", "Having attended Social Media for Beginners, I have both a fuller understanding of the positive impact that appropriate use of social media could have on my business and better technical knowledge of the different tools available. I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to engage in cost neutral but effective marketing. Paul Mayo Chairman at SaRS, Managing Director at SQEP Ltd", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
Having attended this course in the last few months I can confirm its value. Having held NED roles in my favoured area of engineering and manufacturing David opens the mind to the potential of other sectors and using ones transferable skills. Have set a strategy for personnel growth as NED – if I could just stop getting interim assignments Tony Hurley, Interim Manager in Manufacturing Recovery", "I had the pleasure of attending 'How to become a Non-Executive Director' one day course in Bristol yesterday delivered by David Doughty. The content, course leader and fellow attendees were a breath of fresh air. I went with an open mind, unsure whether my skill set and experiences were suitable and allow me to offer any value to a board. I left with no doubt that they were.

The course content was really informative and very pragmatic. At end of the day, not only did I understand the role and liabilities of a NED but also the legal framework within which they operate, the more technical areas that you need to be familiar with, where to find out more information specific to the company you are working with and how to find a NED position in the public, private and voluntary sectors. Above all though, I left with the confidence that I really did have something to offer.

For anyone wondering whether their future may include a NED position, I would recommend that you consider this course as a good starting point. Roger Wills Managing Director at Wills & Blair Ltd", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
