ABOUT GLASS LADDER

“You certainly know when she is in the room”

Glass Ladder is determined to bolster the pipeline of senior women for the top corporate roles. Through programs designed to meet you where you're at, we work with women to move the dial on three things that are usually getting in the way.

They haven't fully owned their edge - their unique strengths, their value, what makes them distinctly and undeniably them.

They don't yet know how to position themselves strategically, build the right networks, or make their capability visible to the people who matter.

And they haven't cracked the shift that higher leadership demands - how skills, language, presence, and enterprise thinking all have to evolve as you climb.

Grounded in lived executive experience, strengths-based coaching, and real conversations about climbing smarter.

LEADERSHIP STARTS BY OWNING YOUR EDGE

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

Glass Ladder is built on positive psychology and strengths-based coaching - because amplifying what you're naturally great at is what makes you a truly impactful, authentic leader.

 

We all have blind spots, and executive skills definitely matter. But the foundation is always you: your unique value, your edge, your way of leading.

 

We help you own that — then build on it.

STRAIGHT TALKING MENTORING & COACHING

We don’t do fluff or skirt around issues – it’s about direct conversations, plain language, thoughtful guidance and the mix of coaching and mentoring that suits whatever you need most. Our tailored approach supports leaders to shape their own path and lead in ways that are true to them.

REAL WORLD C-SUITE EXPERIENCE

There's a difference between understanding leadership and having lived it - up to CEO and board chair. Not HR. Not consulting from the outside. The real thing.

We draw on senior women who've been there and share what actually moved the dial - the scar tissue, the strategies, the things nobody tells you until you're in the room.

STRENGTHS BASED

When you know and own your natural strengths and how to dial them up - confidence becomes steady and unmistakably yours.

Glass Ladder is built on strengths-based coaching - because the most impactful leaders aren't manufactured from a template. They're built on a deep understanding of their own edge, amplified with precision.

TRANSFORMATION THAT LANDS

 Anyone can leave a program feeling inspired. We're interested in what happens next — the roles you step into, the rooms you own, the career moves you finally make. You'll leave with tools and frameworks you'll draw on for the rest of your career. That's the transformation Glass Ladder is built to deliver.

REAL STORIES, REAL IMPACT

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

"Megan’s approach is to jointly problem solve and provide tips and trips from her huge career spanning many different roles.  I am much better placed to navigate the extremely complex world of executive leadership having had Megan to guide and assist me."

Emma Roberts

Acting CEO, CS Energy

"Megan is a natural connector and a strong advocate for leadership development. She has played a pivotal role in coaching the Priestley’s leadership team, driving tangible results, and helping to shape our executive brand.”

Xanny Christopherson

CEO, Priestley's Gourmet Delights

"Megan is terrific! She helped identify my strengths and weaknesses and coached me in the skills and strategies I needed to enhance my leadership skills. She is deeply experienced, engaging, supportive, challenging and highly practical."

Anthony Englund

Head of Regulatory Affairs, EDL Energy

Megan is an exceptional coach who brings a wealth of experience to her practice. She leverages a variety of frameworks and tools, tailoring her approach to suit the unique strengths of each individual. Her ability to understand and work with my personal strengths was transformative. Megan's coaching helped me gain clarity on my career options and develop a strategic plan that aligned with my goals.

Natalie Belcher

Director Delivery Digital Capability, Australian National University

Megan has profoundly influenced how I approach leadership and career opportunities. I hadn’t realised how much untrue ‘feedback’ I had been carrying for years—until I learned to let it go. That shift changed everything, including how I see the value I bring.

I never would have had the confidence to ask for more in a role or truly believe I was ready.

Worldly, sharp, quick-witted, and an absolute hoot to learn from—I can’t believe how much fun we had along the way!

Nicolette Baker

Co-Founder, Paraiba Marketing

Megan Corfield is an exceptional executive coach who has profoundly impacted my career. She has an incredible ability to distil the aspects of my work that bring me the most fulfilment and translate them into a clear vision for my future. Through insightful conversations and thoughtful guidance, she helped me identify my core strengths, align them with meaningful career goals and build a strategic plan to achieve them.  If you’re looking for a coach who truly understands how to help you grow professionally while staying true to what drives you, I can’t recommend Megan highly enough.

Melissa Campolongo

Director Strategic Projects

"Incredible program, definitely the most rewarding I’ve done in my career to date. It allowed me time to really reflect on my career journey so far and what’s important to me…so I ensure this aligns with whatever I choose to do next, and the connections I have made are invaluable"

Lauren Graham

Head of Commercial Marketing, Brisbane Airports Corporation

"Guidance, encouragement, and coaching created a supportive and empowering environment, and it somehow managed to make me feel both seen and refreshingly real. I walked away with new insights, new tools, new confidence, a broader network of likeminded people, and definitely a few quotes I’ll be repeating for years."

 

Inga Roberts

Head of Customer Operations, Altogether Group

The GlassLadder program gave me the clarity and confidence to step into the next chapter of my leadership journey.
