Lead Advisory Panel Member

ADVISORY PANEL OPPORTUNITY

Do you have more than 8 years of experience starting and growing a successful business? Do you have experience running a training business in the corporate or public sector spaces?

Are you keen to share your success to help an innovative small business to scale and leave a legacy?

If you answered yes to at least one of those questions, this opportunity is for you. Read on.

The CEO, Dennise Hilliman, on behalf of the Board of Leadership in Education Services Ltd (“LEAD”) is seeking to appoint a LEAD Advisory Panel (“LAP”) Member. The need is for an Advisory Panel and not a Board of Directors. The specific issue for the Panel to focus on will be stated by the CEO with the exclusion of the other aspects of the business. This means maximum time can be spent on the issue without dedicating time to ratifications, formal approvals etc. as a board of directors.

When offering advice on an issue, the role of the LAP may take one of the following forms:

Offer non-binding guidance and advice to the CEO

Test drive innovative ideas and options

Take request for assistance

Serve as a conduit between investors and the business

To be reliable advocates on particular issues

The LAP is established to provide advisory support and does not form part of the statutory board governance of LEAD.

Introduction to The LEAD Curriculum

The LEAD Curriculum was founded by Dennise Hilliman in September 2015, but did not start trading until 2018. LEAD is now nearly 6 years old. As Richard Branson said, a business is like a child, so just like a child at 6 years, the personality of LEAD is beginning to emerge. In the business life cycle, we are just moving out of the start up to the growth phase.

Below Dennise explains her personal purpose driving LEAD.

“I believe I was born to be a light in the world through teaching. To teach is to light up a life forever. This type of teaching is not a one-way process of imparting knowledge; instead it is imparting authenticity, leading by example through service to illuminate the way for people to bring forth a higher purpose, meaning and joy to the lives of others and therefore themselves.

My personal mantra is ‘Everybody IS Somebody’. ‘IS’ is about being present, because service is about what you can do now. The ‘I’ is inspiration. You develop yourself for the purpose of adding value to others. This means when people come in contact with me, they must always leave aiming for higher levels of success and achievement”

The DNA of LEAD is ‘feeling good, is good for business’. LEAD is on a mission to create workspaces with a powerful culture of service where people feel happy, valued and purposeful. This leads to high productivity and retention.

Below is an outline of indicative terms and conditions of LAP members.
