WHAT WE DO
Glass ladder exists for women who are ready for what’s next – not just the next job title, but the next level of impact, influence and seniority in how they lead.
We work with ambitious middle management and senior leaders who know it’s time to do leadership differently. Less box-ticking, more clarity. Less ‘fixing weaknesses’, more amplifying what’s already strong. Less going it alone, more doing it together.
Leadership is more than a title. It’s how you show up, how you make decisions, how you bring people with you – and the legacy you leave behind.
At Glass Ladder, we create the space, structure and straight talk to help women lead with confidence, presence and purpose

MEET OUR TEAM
The people behind GlassLadder — passionate about advancing women in leadership.

Megan Corfield
Founder & CEO
″My catalyst has been the innate knowing that when women lead, everyone and everything goes up in the world.”
After 25 years in executive roles and 17 years on boards, Megan realised she’d spent most of her career helping other people and organisations grow – but not nearly enough time growing what she cared about most: the next generation of female leaders.
Her career has spanned utilities, infrastructure, energy and government – sectors that don’t naturally make life easy for women. She’s been the only woman in the room more times than she can count, and learned early that if she wanted things to change, she had to stop climbing someone else’s ladder and start building her own.
Known for taking on the uncharted and the challenging – the projects no one else wants, the teams that need rebuilding, the businesses that need turning around – Megan built Glass Ladder to give the next generation of female leaders something she never had:
- Straight-talking, strengths-based coaching
- Access to real executive insight (no corporate spin)
- A network of women who back each other, loudly
Recognised as a Queensland Telstra Business Woman of the Year and one of AFR’s 100 Women of Influence, Megan’s leadership philosophy is simple: one purpose, one team, and fun is non-negotiable.
