Testimonials

"I’d built a decent NED portfolio through my own network and honestly couldn’t see why I’d ever need a paid service. But after a year of nothing interesting coming through, I gave ASG a try. I was amazed at how quickly they understood me, not just my CV, but the kind of board I wanted to be part of. Within a few months I was in discussions for roles far more aligned to my ambitions. ASG secured me an appointment that has completely revitalised my portfolio."

The Sceptic Turned Believer

"Between existing NED commitments and advisory work, I simply didn’t have the headspace to chase the next opportunity. That’s where ASG made all the difference. They did the heavy lifting, positioning me to the right boards and ensuring I was only in front of opportunities that made sense. The process was seamless, efficient, and frankly, a huge relief. Thanks to them, I added a fantastic new paid role without the stress."

The Time-Poor Executive

"What impressed me most about ASG was the depth of their understanding. They looked at my experience in a way I hadn’t before and pulled out strengths I had overlooked. It wasn’t just about finding another role, it was about finding the right role, where my skills would genuinely add value. The outcome was a board appointment that excites me every time I walk into the room."

The Value Discovery

"What struck me most about the ASG NED programme was how it helped me reframe my career story. I had always thought of my skills in a narrow, operational sense, but the team helped me see how my background could add real strategic value. The coaching gave me the language to articulate that clearly. I not only secured a paid appointment but also feel I’ve stepped into the role with the tools to be effective from day one."

Reflective, mentoring tone

"This programme was a total turning point for me. I went in feeling unsure, thinking ‘who’s going to want me as a NED?’ and came out feeling like I was born to do it. The sessions helped me connect the dots between my career and the value boards are crying out for. Better still, I learned how to showcase that in interviews without second guessing myself. I’ve now landed a paid NED role I genuinely love and I’m thriving in it!"

Enthusiastic, energetic

"I didn’t know where to start with becoming a NED. The ASG programme broke it down, gave me the confidence, and showed me how to play to my strengths. The practical guidance on interviews was invaluable and I finally understood how to explain what I bring to a board in a way that resonates. I’ve since secured a paid role that fits me perfectly, and I feel fully prepared to deliver."

Straightforward, no-nonsense
