Language and Communication in the Boardroom – Nurses on Boards Coalition

An NLN Micro-Credential Program

Learn how to speak their language – without sacrificing your identity – so that your contributions are truly heard.

Written by linguists and reviewed by nurses, Language and Communication in the Boardroom takes a deep-dive into the nuances of boardroom communication and teaches participants how to leverage linguistic strategies to maximize their impact on the board. This course has been intentionally designed for all professionals who are interested in board service, or who are already serving as board members — there is no requirement to have a nursing or healthcare background to benefit from this course.

This course was created to help board members develop NOBC’s copyrighted Board Core Competencies, which outlines ‘communication’ as a critical skill for success in the boardroom.
