Board
Recruitment
Strong governance starts with the right people. Our Board Recruitment services are dedicated to identifying and appointing directors who align with your organisation’s values, bring diverse expertise, and offer strategic insight to elevate governance excellence. We believe that every board member should not only contribute critical skills but also embody the vision and mission of your organisation to drive sustainable success.
Our tailored approach begins with a deep understanding of your board’s current composition, future needs, and strategic objectives.
Our process also includes outreach to diverse networks, ensuring access to exceptional candidates who bring fresh perspectives and innovative thinking. Whether your focus is on strengthening governance, preparing for future challenges, or fostering a culture of accountability and collaboration, YOUmanity’s expertise ensures your board is positioned to lead with confidence, integrity, and purpose.
Board
Evaluation
Boards operate most effectively when purpose, people, and processes are aligned, and key stakeholders experience clarity, transparency, and strong leadership.
Our approach empowers boards to evaluate both overall performance and individual contributions. We offer a flexible assessment process, with options for online or in-person evaluations tailored to suit your organisation's needs.
Our assessments are designed for efficiency and effectiveness, enabling self-reviews to be completed quickly while delivering actionable insights through robust evaluation techniques.

Planning
Facilitation
Clear strategy is essential for organisations to navigate complexity and achieve meaningful outcomes. Our Strategic Planning Facilitation brings structure, insight, and fresh perspective to help boards and leadership teams clarify priorities, set ambitious yet achievable goals, and align people and resources for impact.
Through tailored workshops and evidence‑based frameworks, we create space for constructive dialogue, challenge assumptions, and ensure every voice is heard, building shared ownership of the path forward. The result is a strategic roadmap that is practical, purpose‑driven, and primed for execution.
CEO
Performance
A well‑executed CEO performance review is a cornerstone of good governance. It provides boards with a clear, structured way to assess leadership impact, ensure alignment with strategy and values, and strengthen the partnership between the board and the CEO.
At YOUmanity, we facilitate independent, evidence‑based reviews that go beyond compliance, celebrating achievements, identifying opportunities for growth, and setting clear goals for the future. This process enhances trust, drives accountability, and ensures your organisation is positioned to deliver lasting impact.
