Is This You

READY
FOR MORE.

You have over ten years of experience and are in a role leading people and a function, key project or division in your organisation.

You've worked hard to get here. You're capable, experienced, and trusted — yet something feels stuck.

Many talented women reach this point: ready to rise, but wanting greater clarity, confidence, and direction before the next move.

Glass Ladder was built for this moment — to help you move forward with intention, strengthen your leadership identity, and climb with the right support beside you.

"OFTEN — WHAT GOT YOU HERE TODAY WON'T GET YOU TO TOMORROW."
You might be second-guessing yourself in rooms you know you belong in
You're ambitious and ready for more — but unsure what stepping into executive leadership really requires
You want to lead sustainably — leaning into your strengths, not pushing through exhaustion
You value honest conversation, thoughtful challenge, and practical guidance
You want development shaped by lived executive experience — not theory alone
You're ready to be seen, heard, and taken seriously in the rooms that matter
The Program

A SMARTER,
SUPPORTED WAY TO RISE

This isn't another leadership program that feels inspiring in the moment and disconnected from real life a week later. The Glass Ladder Prides Program is a 6-month, high-touch leadership journey designed to build the clarity, capability, and confidence required at executive level — guided by women who have lived the realities of senior leadership, not just studied them.

Your Experience

EVERYTHING
YOU NEED
TO RISE.

Across 6 months, you'll move through a considered blend of personalised coaching, expert-led workshops, and practical executive tools. Structured. Supportive. Deeply practical. And designed to help you progress further, faster — in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

01

1:1 Coaching

Three targeted sessions with your dedicated coach — laser-focused on your biggest challenges, boldest ambitions, and executive-level decision-making.

Gallup Strengths Assessment

A deep exploration of your leadership strengths. Discover your edge, own it, and learn to use it with intention in every room you walk into.

03

Full-Day Group Workshops

Five expertly facilitated workshops combining strategy, self-awareness, and real-world tools. High-impact learning with women who push each other higher.

04

Exclusive conversations with senior leaders who keep it real — sharing the raw truth of what it takes to lead, rise, and thrive at the top.

05

Peer Network & Accountability

A cohort that challenges, supports, and grows together. Connections that become a powerful, unbreakable leadership network.

06

Practical Tools & Frameworks

Collect frameworks, approaches and practical tools you will continue to use throughout your whole career. Straightforward and easy to apply, yet designed to make the biggest difference and help you move the dial at the executive level.

The Five Workshops

FIVE DAYS
THAT CHANGE
EVERYTHING.

Each full-day workshop builds on the last — combining strategy, self-awareness, and tools you can use immediately. These aren't classroom sessions. They're working days designed around the real challenges of executive leadership.

The program also includes a full Gallup Strengths debrief as part of your coaching sessions, peer accountability and support, and an alumni celebration event.
