Preparing Women for Executive Responsibility: Executive Leadership Development • Strategic Thinking • Executive Presence
About this Event

Boardroom Ready Academy is a premium executive development institution designed for ambitious women who aspire to lead organizations, build companies, influence decision-making, and prepare for executive responsibility.

Whether you're beginning your leadership journey or already leading at the executive level, our programs are designed to help you develop the judgment, executive presence, communication, and strategic thinking required to thrive in today's most demanding leadership environments.


ABOUT BOARDROOM READY ACADEMY

Most professionals spend years becoming experts in their field.

Very few are intentionally prepared for executive leadership.

Boardroom Ready Academy was created to close that gap.

Our mission is to prepare ambitious women for executive responsibility before the opportunity arrives by developing the executive capabilities that are rarely taught through traditional education or corporate training.

This is not a networking group.

It is not a motivational seminar.

It is not traditional coaching.

It is a principal-led executive development experience built around thoughtful conversation, practical frameworks, and meaningful relationships.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Boardroom Ready Academy is designed for women who are serious about investing in their long-term leadership development.

This includes:

• College students and recent graduates preparing for leadership careers

• Emerging professionals seeking career acceleration

• Managers and directors preparing for executive responsibility

• Founders and entrepreneurs building organizations

• Vice Presidents and senior leaders preparing for greater influence

• CEOs and Executive Directors seeking personalized strategic advisory

Boardroom Ready – Session 1
Host: Devidasa Kawal

Info: Session 1: Foundations of Boardroom-Ready Leadership
Join us for the opening session of Boardroom Ready, where we establish the foundation for the entire program. This session is designed to orient you, build meaningful connection with fellow participants, and introduce the core mindset required for high-level leadership.
Devidasa Kawal will personally lead this session. Together, we will explore what it truly means to be “boardroom ready” — moving beyond day-to-day execution into strategic clarity, executive presence, and decision-making at the highest levels.
You will have the opportunity to share your intentions, reflect on your current leadership readiness, and begin identifying the gaps between where you are and where you aspire to be. This is a foundational session focused on alignment and clarity rather than heavy content delivery.
Whether you are a recent graduate, emerging leader, or established executive, this session is designed to meet you where you are and set the tone for
