For women who are ready for what is next

Supporting women
to climb smarter.

You already have an edge that is unmistakably yours. We help you own it, dial it up, and lead with it. Alongside a community of senior women who lift each other higher, and 25 years of lived executive experience showing you exactly how it is done.

About Glass Ladder
"You certainly know when she is in the room."

That is what people say about the women who come through here. It is also the whole point.

Glass Ladder is built on one belief: the most impactful leaders are not manufactured from a template. They are built on their own edge, amplified with precision. So we do not hand you someone else's version of leadership. We help you find yours, and then make it impossible to miss.

Then we add the skills, frameworks, language and tools you'll need for what comes next, so you don't just know your edge, you can show you're ready to climb.

Three things change everything on the way up. We work on all three.

Glass Ladder
01

Own your edge

Your strengths, your value, the thing that makes you distinctly and undeniably you. Named, understood, and dialled all the way up.

02

Connect

Position yourself with the right networks, hold presence in the room, and influence the outcomes you want. Put yourself forward to the people who decide what happens next, without feeling weird about it.

03

Build your toolkit

The skills you don't know you need yet. We show you what the next level takes, then teach you the frameworks, tools and language to get there and be seen as ready to climb.

All of it grounded in lived executive experience, strengths-based coaching, and conversations that are honest, useful and a great deal more fun than you are expecting.

Megan, founder of Glass Ladder
Meet Megan
25years
at the top

25 years as a C-Suite executive, CEO, Director General and Board Chair. She has grown start-ups to successful sale, led turnarounds, navigated crisis and a great deal of politics without a playbook, and been the only woman in the room more times than she can count.

Known for a strategic mind, straight talking mentoring and a leadership philosophy that has never changed: one purpose, one team, have fun.

Megan founded Glass Ladder to turn everything a career at the top teaches you, including the scar tissue, into lessons that land. So the women coming next climb faster, further, and enjoy the climb a great deal more than she was allowed to.

Why Glass Ladder

Most programs start with what to fix. We start with what you already do brilliantly.

We start with what you already do brilliantly, then add the skills you'll need to climb. That combination is what makes a truly impactful, authentic leader.

You will leave knowing exactly what you are exceptional at, how to dial it up, and how to put it in every room that matters. Confidence stops being something you perform and becomes something steady and unmistakably yours.

And you will not do it alone. You will do it with senior women who back you, stretch you, tell you the truth and laugh with you the whole way up.

Work with us

Four ways in. One community.

Six months or six minutes, there is a way to start today. Every one of them puts you in the room with women who have already done it.

PRIDES

Six months. Ten women. Everything changes.

Our flagship program for senior women ready for a genuine career shift. Cohorts are capped at ten, so the real conversations, the close connections and the small group coaching actually happen in the room.

  • Five themes across six months, from owning your edge to designing what comes next
  • Three one-on-one coaching sessions and a Gallup CliftonStrengths profile
  • A cohort of senior women who keep pushing each other higher long after it ends
Commitment: six months, and worth every one Apply for PRIDES
COACHING

One on one, entirely about you

Individual and team coaching built around your situation, not a curriculum. Direct conversations, plain language, and the blend of coaching and mentoring you actually need.

  • One-on-one executive coaching
  • Team coaching for alignment and enterprise level performance
  • Shaped entirely around where you are and where you are heading
Commitment: shaped around you Talk to us about coaching

Who we support

Find your rung. Then look up.

Wherever you are on the climb, there is a place for you here, and a very good reason to keep going.

Curious Climbers

You can feel there is more in you. You do not need to know what it looks like yet. This is exactly the place to find out.

01

Time Poor Achievers

Ambitious, in demand, and learning in the gaps. You will get growth that respects every minute you give it and pays you back the same week.

02

Senior Operators

You are genuinely good at this, across teams, complexity and high expectations. Now add the tools that make the next climb smarter rather than heavier.

03

Executives Seeking Impact

You have the seat. Now it is about influence, legacy, and how many women you bring up with you. The most generous rung on the ladder, and the most powerful.

04

Strategic Architects

You are building the bench behind you. CEOs and people leaders turning real talent into a high-performance engine, and leaving an organisation stronger than they found it.

05

Not sure which rung is yours? Let us work it out together

In their words

Real stories, real impact.

Leadership feels different when it's grounded in real experience. Here's how our community describes their growth.

Make your career happen for you

You already have what it takes. Let us amplify it, and enjoy the climb while we do.
