How to Use an Internal Transfer to Build a Personal Board of Directors

Most people think a board of directors is just for CEOs and startups. In this episode, Lucas and Luna argue that assembling your own personal board — a small, intentional group of mentors, sponsors, and peers inside your company — can be the single most effective strategy for navigating an internal transfer. They walk through a real example: a marketing manager at a Fortune 500 who used four internal advisors to move from brand marketing into product management. They cover how to pick the right mix of advocates (a senior sponsor, a lateral peer, a past manager, and a functional expert), how to ask them for help without being awkward, and the one mistake that derails most people: treating advisors like references. If you're thinking about an internal move, this episode will change how you think about who you need in your corner. #PersonalBoardOfDirectors #InternalTransfer #CareerAdvice #Mentorship #Sponsorship #CareerLattice #InternalMobility #CorporateCareer #Fortune500 #ProductManagement #BrandMarketing #Networking #CareerStrategy #Advocacy #ProfessionalGrowth #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
