The Virtual Global Board Meeting

A New Chapter in a Tradition of Connection and Community

Founder, Full Spectrum Leadership Inc. | Creator, The Board Meeting

In the late 1970s, I noticed something troubling. Colleagues, clients, and friends were leaving their workplaces every Friday stressed, burdened, and exhausted. Their weekends often began overshadowed by the unresolved pressures of the week. That simple observation sparked an idea, a small yet meaningful change designed to offer relief, renewal, and reconnection, a tradition I whimsically named “The Board Meeting.”

Nearly half a century later, what began as a casual weekly gathering at a local pub has blossomed into a global phenomenon. Today, I’m honored and thrilled to announce the next evolution of this tradition: The Virtual Global Board Meeting, proudly presented by WBN News Global.

A Timeless Idea with Global Appeal

In its original incarnation, The Board Meeting was about simplicity, gathering at a local pub, unwinding, and transitioning from the demands of work to the relaxation of the weekend. Over time, it naturally evolved, spreading by word of mouth and eventually becoming a treasured weekly tradition across many cities, countries, and continents. Today, countless communities worldwide embrace this simple ritual of casual connection.

But now, we find ourselves in extraordinary times. The landscape of work, connection, and community is rapidly shifting. The recent upheavals, economic uncertainties, geopolitical tensions, global health crises, and societal transformations, have left many feeling isolated and disconnected. Recognizing these challenges, and leveraging the power of modern technology, we're launching The Virtual Global Board Meeting—a groundbreaking digital adaptation of our beloved tradition.

Why the Virtual Global Board Meeting?

The Virtual Global Board Meeting is more than a digital gathering; it’s a bold declaration of unity and connection in a fragmented world. It will launch at precisely on Monday's at 4:00 pm PDT and offer individuals worldwide an easy, accessible opportunity to pause, share, and rejuvenate, just as we did decades ago in the comfort of our local pubs.

Here’s what participants can expect:

Global Reach, Local Warmth

Join from anywhere, your office, home, a local café, or while traveling. The spirit remains intimate and authentic, despite its global scale.

Authentic Connection

No rigid agendas or sales pitches, just genuine conversation, sharing stories, laughter, and camaraderie. A place to let your guard down, connect authentically, and transition into your weekend with ease.

Diverse Perspectives

Attendees will encounter a tapestry of cultures, professions, and experiences. This diversity enriches every conversation, fostering empathy, openness, and global community.

A Moment to Recharge

Amid endless responsibilities, this hour is a gift of time to yourself, a mindful pause allowing participants to reconnect to what truly matters: human connection, empathy, and joy.

Reflecting on Our Legacy, Embracing Our Future

Looking back, I'm humbled to see how this simple act, an hour or so shared, a conversation exchanged, has profoundly impacted countless lives. Over decades, The Board Meeting has:

Reduced stress and burnout
Enhanced work-life harmony
Strengthened social and professional networks
Fostered friendships, business collaborations, and even lasting relationships
