Building Your Board of Directors for Life is an inspirational, actionable guide that empowers readers to take control of their personal and professional lives by curating a “board of directors”—a supportive group of individuals who provide guidance, accountability, and encouragement.

Imagine having a personal board of directors—trusted mentors who provide invaluable guidance, encouragement, and accountability at every stage of your life. In Building Your Board of Directors for Life, Dennis Baker introduces this transformative concept, empowering you to create a curated network of advisors who will help you navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and achieve your greatest aspirations.

Drawing from his own inspiring journey, Baker shares how mentors from diverse backgrounds—a bank CEO, a foundation president, a university chancellor, a member of the British Parliament, and others—shaped his career as a successful CEO and enriched his personal growth. Their collective wisdom provided not only professional guidance but also a foundation for confidence, servant leadership, and meaningful relationships.

This practical and motivational guide shows you how to:

· Identify and approach the right mentors for your unique goals

· Build lasting, mutually rewarding relationships

· Leverage your board’s collective insights to tackle life’s complexities

· Adapt and expand your board to meet evolving needs

· Embrace servant leadership by mentoring others

Whether you’re starting your career, navigating major transitions, or striving for deeper impact, this book offers a road map for cultivating a lifelong network of support and inspiration. Packed with actionable strategies and timeless wisdom, Building Your Board of Directors for Life will equip you with the tools to design a future filled with clarity, purpose, and success.

Your greatest achievements are within reach—with the right mentors by your side.
