From Tokenism to True Representation: The Governance Shift

In this episode of Notes from a NED, we sit down with governance consultant and board member Ethel Tambudzai to discuss the evolving landscape of governance, diversity in leadership, and the fine line between tokenism and true representation.


Ethel, who has worked with The Africa Center, Practical Governance, and Planet Positive Ventures, shares insights from her journey from Zimbabwe to the UK and how her diverse experiences have shaped her governance philosophy. She dives into the role of governance in startups, charities, and high-growth organisations, emphasising the importance of mentorship, effective board dynamics, and why governance is for every organisation—not just large corporations.


Key Takeaways:

  • The difference between tokenism and genuine diversity in boardrooms
  • Why mentorship and sponsorship are game-changers for aspiring board members
  • The role of governance in startups, charities, and social enterprises
  • How The Africa Center supports the African diaspora in the UK
  • Steps to build confidence and credibility as a new board member


Who Should Listen?

  • Aspiring and current board members looking for insights on navigating governance
  • Startup founders & charity leaders who want to build strong governance structures
  • Diversity & inclusion advocates interested in creating meaningful change in leadership
  • Mentors and mentees looking to understand the value of sponsorship in governance


Tune in now and be part of the conversation on how governance can drive real change!
