Empowering Women, Transforming Leadership
Leadership in rural communities comes with its own set of challenges limited resources, isolation, and the constant juggle of work, community, and personal commitments. I get it. I’ve been there. That’s why I created Daring Leadership: to help women like you lead with confidence, clarity, and resilience—without burning out.
Whether you’re leading a team, an organisation, or simply navigating your own professional growth, my coaching and workshops are designed to support you in a way that fits your reality. No corporate jargon. No one-size-fits-all strategies. Just practical, tailored support that helps you step into leadership with purpose.
Corporate Programs
Developing Leaders, Strengthening Teams
Strong leadership builds strong teams—and strong teams create thriving communities. My corporate workshops and programs are designed to help leaders and organisations in rural areas develop the skills, trust, and resilience they need to succeed.
Corporate Team Workshops
Fostering Connection, Collaboration, and Trust
Whether it’s improving team communication, navigating difficult conversations, or creating a more inclusive workplace culture, I design workshops tailored to your organisation’s needs. These aren’t generic, tick-the-box training sessions—they’re interactive, meaningful, and designed to create lasting impact.
Corporate Leadership Programs
Cultivating Leaders Who Inspire and Innovate
Leadership isn’t just about managing—it’s about inspiring, adapting, and building a workplace culture that people want to be part of. My leadership programs are built around real-world leadership challenges, helping organisations develop leaders who create positive change at every level.
1:1 Coaching Programs
Personalised Support for Transformative Growth
Every leader’s journey is different. That’s why my 1:1 coaching programs are designed to meet you where you are. Whether you’re facing tough decisions, struggling with confidence, or looking to create lasting change in your leadership style, I offer a confidential, supportive space where you can reflect, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
Executive Coaching
Lead with Impact, Confidence, and Clarity
Leadership can feel isolating, especially when you’re navigating tough decisions and big responsibilities. My executive coaching provides a confidential, supportive space where you can step back, gain perspective, and tackle challenges with confidence. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, break through barriers, and develop strategies that empower you to lead with greater impact.
Transformational Coaching
Uncover Your 'Why' and Lead with Purpose
This transformational coaching is about more than just professional success—it’s about aligning who you are with how you lead. I’ll help you reconnect with your values, build confidence, and move forward with renewed energy and purpose. Through reflective conversations and practical strategies, you’ll gain the clarity and resilience to lead in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.
Positive Psychology Coaching
Shape your mindset, build a life you love.
Positive psychology empowers people to live more fulfilling lives and feel truly at ease with who they are. While meaningful self-improvement takes intention and effort, the rewards are evident—progress becomes visible day by day. Positive Psychology Coaching will support you to embed these practices in your everyday life to help you lead a fulfilling life.
Who I Work With
Leadership isn’t confined to boardrooms—it happens in classrooms, community organisations, healthcare settings, small businesses, and beyond. I work with leaders from all walks of life, helping them navigate challenges, build confidence, and create lasting impact in their workplaces and communities.
Some of the people I support include:
School Principals & Educators – Helping leaders in education create supportive, high-performing school environments while managing the complexities of leadership in the sector.
Healthcare & Allied Health Professionals – Supporting leaders in healthcare, including nurses, therapists, and practice managers, to navigate the demands of patient care, team leadership, and organisational change.
Small Business Owners & Entrepreneurs – Providing guidance on leadership, decision-making, and strategic growth for those running businesses in regional and urban areas.
Corporate & Government Leaders – Working with professionals in executive and mid-level management roles to strengthen their leadership capabilities, manage teams effectively, and drive organisational success.
Not-for-Profit & Community Leaders – Supporting those who lead charities, advocacy groups, and community organisations to create meaningful change while managing resources and stakeholder relationships.
Whether you’re leading a team of five or five hundred, leadership comes with its own set of challenges. My role is to help you build the confidence, skills, and mindset to navigate those challenges and lead with clarity and purpose.

Guiding You with Experience and Passion
Heidi McGlashan
Daring Leadership Founder and former Education Leader.
Hi, I'm Heidi, the founder of Daring Leadership. After spending over 25 years in educational leadership roles across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, I returned to my hometown of Coonabarabran in country NSW. It was here that I realised how limited the access to leadership coaching and development opportunities is for women in rural areas.
This discovery ignited my passion for making leadership support more accessible, not just globally but especially in regional communities. I believe that thriving leaders create thriving communities. When women in leadership are supported, entire organisations and communities benefit.
At Daring Leadership, I’m committed to providing personalised coaching and workshops that address the unique challenges faced by women leaders in rural areas. Together, we can foster resilient, confident leaders who inspire growth and positive change in their communities and beyond.
