This isn’t your typical leadership program. The Glass Ladder Program is a high-octane, unapologetically bold experience designed for ambitious women, in small groups of 8 to 12, ready to take charge of their careers, own their impact, and lead on their terms.
This isn’t a program where you’ll sit back and listen — it’s an arena where you’ll step up, get real, and sharpen your edge. Grounded in strengths-based leadership and fierce positive psychology, the program doesn’t just teach leadership — it rewires how you lead. You’ll build unstoppable confidence, master influence, and design your own climb.
But it’s not just about skills. You’ll be backed by a powerhouse network of bold women, guided by seasoned industry leaders, and challenged by workshops with some of Australia’s top executives. This is a crew of women who don’t just have your back — they’ll push you forward.
So why settle for a seat at someone else’s table? Redesign the damn table.
Cohorts start February, July and September. Our next intake is starting in September 2025. Apply now by emailing [email protected] or complete the form at the bottom of this page.

We understand that career growth comes with challenges—some of which are unique to women. The Glass Ladder Program is designed to help you navigate these obstacles with confidence, providing the skills, support, and network you need to rise.
In a world where leadership can feel isolating, this program connects you with a powerful collective of women who lift each other up, share insights, and accelerate each other’s success. When you join The Glass Ladder Program, you’re not just advancing your own career—you are part of a movement redefining what’s possible for female leaders.
The program combines one-on-one coaching with group sessions, focusing on the key skill areas that deliver the greatest impact for female leaders.
With a cohort of up to twelve women, you’ll form an inclusive, supportive network – working together to succeed.
The Glass Ladder Program is built on the belief that great leadership starts with understanding and leveraging your strengths. Grounded in positive psychology, our program helps you discover what makes you exceptional and how to amplify those strengths for greater impact. We focus on developing the skills that matter most as you climb the career ladder—from building influence and executive presence to strategic thinking and effective communication.
This program is designed for women who are ready to take ownership of their careers, expand their networks, and step into leadership roles with confidence. With access to leading Australian executives, personalised coaching, and a supportive community, the Glass Ladder program equips you with everything you need to achieve your goals.
Group Sessions run monthly, blending theory, real-world insights, interactive exercises, and open discussions to ensure practical application and deep learning.
Personalised coaching will be held at commencement, midway point and conclusion of the program.
Explore your strengths, values, skills, and experiences to shape a leadership identity that feels authentic and impactful. You learn how to express your unique edge with confidence and build a personal brand that reflects who you are and what you stand for.
You will be equipped with the tools to communicate confidently even in the face of your inner critic. You'll learn to use body language with purpose, craft stories stop the room, and deliver messages that land with clarity and credibility. Understand your communication style, read the room, and adapt your approach to influence more effectively.
Design a career path that aligns with your goals and values not someone else’s expectations. Gain the clarity and confidence to take the next step, the long view, and everything in between on your terms.
Strengthen the core capabilities needed at the executive level, from shaping value led strategy and managing risk, to leading innovation and navigating complex decision making.
As your leadership responsibility expands, explore how your membership in an Executive Leadership Team can influence the tone, values, and success of an organisation. You'll learn how to lead culture, making a difference for your people, your stakeholders, and the broader community.
