What some of our current members of the Fife Boardroom have said:-
"Janet
Boardroom Testimonial
Once a month I sit with a group of likeminded businessmen and women, who, like me are passionate about their business but need a sounding board to bounce potential new ideas off or discuss current ‘challenges’ in their business.
Our last meeting started with a review of our business news and highlights from the previous month. It was amazing to see that everyone round the table had a positive story to tell. Best month ever, 5 new clients this month, launch of new products etc.
But the real eye opener for me was, how good we are at giving out good advice. I then realised I did not ‘practiced what I preached’. I think the Boardroom allows you to take a step back from your business and look at it again with the help of another 8 pairs of eyes.
I look forward to every meeting and have had much more than I ever expected from the Boardroom."

"Dear Janet,
Just a short note to tell you how pleased I have been with how well The Boardroom has progressed. (Thanks in no small part to your excellent stewardship).
When you first discussed the matter with me, my mind had immediately linked it to the fact that many of the “Guru’s” talk about the benefits of having a Mastermind Group. Indeed, one of the first references I ever had to this idea comes from the very highly regarded book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. In more modern terms, people talk about the benefits of a Virtual Boardroom, so I could certainly understand the potential benefits of meeting regularly, in a confidential environment with like-minded business owners.
I would say that the actual Boardroom you have created has exceeded my expectations. I think you have done a marvellous job in getting the right people in the room and I have thoroughly enjoyed not only their business insights and lessons, but also their enthusiasm and passion for being successful in business and their willingness to share and to help others. I knew that the other Board Members would benefit from realising that other business owners came up against the same challenges and obstacles that they did and had many of the same worries. I have seen that many times in my professional life when assisting business owners– what I have particularly enjoyed is the new insights and creative solutions that comes from all corners of the table.
Thank you for putting this together. I understand that you are thinking about doing the same thing for a new group of people. You would be doing them a favour and I would recommend that you go forward with this."

“The Boardroom has challenged and inspired me both as an individual as well as a business owner. I have gained new business as a result of The Boardroom as well as some excellent new contacts of the type of businesses and people you do not otherwise meet on the networking circuit. This is not a talking shop but a group of experienced, knowledgeable and supportive business owners all making a difference to each others companies. If you only join one network or group make it The Boardroom.”
