Personal Board of Directors
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Instead of seeking a single all-knowing mentor, assemble a virtual or physical 'board of directors'. This includes: experts in specific fields, people who dare to criticize you, people who support you unconditionally, and your role models. Scaffolding role: multi-dimensional perspective. When facing life transitions, don't just listen to one person's advice. Poll your 'board' to get feedback from different angles (emotional, technical, strategic), then make your own decision.
