Where Leadership Gets Real
Behind the Boardroom exists to create a space where leaders can drop the mask and share what it really takes. We dive into the decisions, risks, failures, and triumphs that shape both the leader and the legacy they leave behind.
This isn’t about PR or soundbites. It’s about truth, service, and lessons that endure.
The Nature of the Conversation
Every episode is designed to feel like a confidential boardroom exchange
Respectful but Unfiltered: Leaders are invited to share honestly, beyond the corporate script.
Peer-to-Peer Authority: Host Willem Visser brings decades of experience building businesses, making high stakes decisions, and carrying responsibility. Guests are not being interviewed by a journalist, they are entering a dialogue with a peer.
Strength + Safety: The environment balances command presence with deep respect, allowing leaders to feel secure while revealing their truth.
Cinematic Intimacy: With long form depth, deliberate pacing, and focused storytelling, the show creates a tone that feels weighty and memorable.
