Together with Corporate Director & Financial Services Executive Sharon Castelino, Deborah will appear as a facilitator for Session 4 of the GPC Certificate in Director Effectiveness on March 27, 2026.

The session will explore the intricate world of boards, directors, and board leadership roles, examining the following key areas:

  • Various types of boards spanning public sector, private & public companies, and not-for-profit
  • Embracing diversity on boards through a spectrum of dimensions, including thought, skills, expertise, gender, ethnicity, geographic, race, culture, language, and representation, thereby shaping your unique board value proposition
  • Cultivating inclusive board leadership qualities such as curiosity, collaboration, strategic insights, courage, business acumen & judgement, drawing inspiration from Deloitte’s “The Six Signature Traits of Inclusive Leadership.”
  • Unleashing your authentic voice and harnessing emotional intelligence within the dynamic environment of the boardroom, fostering effective communication and decision-making
