Future Me™

For capable people who’ve stopped moving, and know it.

FOUR STAGES

Foundations

Where you are, and who you’re becoming.

Courage

Naming what’s held you back and moving anyway.

Practice

Small actions, repeated, at work.

Embodiment

Making it who you are, not what you’re trying.

Leadership Impact

Learn the job you were promoted into.

Our flagship online program for new and established people leaders. It’s the same curriculum that sits behind LeadershipHQ’s in-house programs for universities, hospitality and the public sector, opened up so individual leaders can work through it at their own pace.

Leading Self comes first, because it gives you the foundation Leading Others is built on.

TWO PARTS · 12 MODULES · 38 LESSONS

Leading Self

Authentic leadership, your values and strengths, your leadership brand and shadow, emotional intelligence, the shift from peer to leader, resilience, and balancing your life so the job doesn’t take all of it.

Leading Others

High-performance teams, trust and psychological safety, communicating with impact, courageous conversations, empowering others and coaching, and the neuroscience of how people think, decide and change.

OWL™ — Outstanding Women Leaders

Ten qualities that decide whether a capable woman is heard in the room. Or talked over in it.

One quality per module, in an order that matters: confidence without character is performance, and courage without composure burns out. Built from years of work with women leading in rooms that weren’t built for them, including some of the most male-dominated industries in the country.

Award-winning, recognised by the Australian Centre for Leadership.

TEN MODULES

Character

The values and integrity people trust before they trust your ideas.

Confidence

Backing yourself before you feel ready.

Courage

Speaking up, taking the seat and making the call.

Compassion

Care for others and for yourself, without dropping the standard.

Composure

Staying steady under pressure and in hard conversations.

Connections

The networks, sponsors and allies that open doors.

Career

Owning your direction and asking for what’s next.

Communication

Presence, clarity and influence — being heard in the room.

Clarity & Wisdom

Knowing what matters, and deciding well.

Commitment & Legacy

What you stand for, and what you leave behind.

First Comes Courage

Courage is trainable, and it has to be built before you need it.

The course version of Sonia McDonald’s third book. Fourteen modules that treat courage as a practice rather than a mood: what it is, where fear sits inside it, and what it asks of you at work, in a team, at home, and in the moments when the popular choice and the right one aren’t the same.

It finishes with a pledge, because commitment you can see is commitment you keep. The ebook and toolkit are included, so you don’t need to have read the book first.
