SOSA CONSULTING / 12-MONTH PEOPLE LEADERS MASTERMIND
Get better at leading people. Without losing yourself in the process.
Develop your confidence. Strengthen your leadership. Make a real difference to the people you lead.
Leading people is one of the most rewarding parts of your job. It's also one of the most complicated. 😂
The personalities. The expectations. The decisions. The difficult conversations. The pressure to keep everyone moving in the right direction.
And somewhere amongst all of that, you're supposed to find time to develop yourself, too.
So, who's helping YOU become a better leader?
Introducing SOSA's 12-Month People Leaders Mastermind.
A practical, personalised leadership development experience for people who are responsible for leading other people.
Twelve months of learning, honest conversations, fresh perspectives, accountability and practical strategies you can take straight back to your team.
No generic leadership advice.
No pretending you've got everything figured out.
Just real development, with people who understand what it's like to lead.
Applications now open. Limited places available.
THE WAY WE SEE IT
Great leaders aren't finished products.
Leadership is something you keep learning.
You can have 20 years of experience and still wonder how to handle a conversation.
You can be brilliant at your job and struggle to delegate.
You can care deeply about your team and still get frustrated when nobody takes ownership.
And you can be a genuinely good leader while knowing there are things you could do better.
Leadership isn't something you master once. It's something you keep developing.
Through experience, reflection, practice and being willing to challenge how you think.
And that's exactly what we'll spend 12 months doing.
WHAT YOU'LL DEVELOP
The skills that make a difference.
Not just to your leadership. To the people you lead.
01
Understand yourself as a leader.
Discover the habits, strengths, values and blind spots influencing how you lead.
Understand what happens to your thinking and behaviour under pressure.
02
Communicate with confidence.
Have difficult conversations, give meaningful feedback, set expectations and communicate clearly without overthinking every word.
03
Develop people who take ownership.
Stop being the person who has to do EVERYTHING.
Learn how to delegate, coach and create the conditions for your team to take responsibility.
04
Understand what makes people tick.
Explore motivation, behaviour, personalities and the different ways people think, communicate and respond.
05
Make better leadership decisions.
Strengthen your judgement, challenge your assumptions and become more confident making decisions without needing everyone to agree with you.
06
Lead sustainably.
Develop boundaries, manage expectations and recognise the habits that leave you carrying more than you need to.
Becoming a better leader shouldn't mean becoming an exhausted one.
THE MASTERMIND DIFFERENCE
You don't need another leadership course.
You need somewhere to work through what leadership actually looks like.
Imagine having a group of people you could turn to when you're navigating a tricky team situation.
People who understand the responsibility.
Who'll challenge your thinking.
Who'll share what's worked for them.
Who'll ask questions you hadn't considered.
And who won't expect you to have all the answers.
That's the power of the mastermind.
We're bringing together 10–15 people leaders from different industries and levels of leadership experience.
Everyone has direct reports.
Everyone brings different perspectives.
And everyone is committed to becoming a better leader.
A confidential, facilitated space for honest conversations, with clear expectations around protecting workplace and personal information.

MEET YOUR FACILITATOR
Hey, I'm Alicia! 👋
I'm Alicia Savage, founder of SOSA Consulting.
Former Deputy Principal, leadership facilitator, lover of learning and teaching, and someone genuinely fascinated by how people think, behave and work together.
I became a Deputy Principal at 28.
And while I'd spent years learning how to teach, support and develop people, stepping into leadership brought a whole new set of things to figure out.
The decisions. The personalities. The difficult conversations. The expectations.
And the realisation that what works beautifully for one person can be completely wrong for another. 😂
Curious. Practical. Honest.
These days, through SOSA, I work with leaders, teams and organisations to develop better thinking, stronger communication and more effective ways of working together.
I believe leadership development should be practical, challenging, engaging and something you can actually use.
And I believe good leaders never stop learning.
That's why I'm creating this mastermind.
To give people leaders the space, support and opportunity to keep developing, alongside other people who understand what leading a team really involves.
GOOD QUESTIONS
A few things you might be wondering.
Do I need to be an experienced leader?
Not at all. The mastermind is designed for people leaders at different stages. What matters is that you currently have direct reports and want to develop.
Is this suitable for school leaders?
Absolutely. Leaders from education, business, government and other organisations are welcome. Different workplaces bring different perspectives.
How much time do I need to commit?
The proposed format includes one 90-minute masterclass and one 90-minute mastermind session each month, alongside shorter weekly check-ins and practical application.
What if I don't know what to work on?
That's completely fine. We'll begin by exploring your leadership strengths, habits and development priorities.
Can my workplace pay for my membership?
Yes. Organisations can invest in the mastermind as part of a leader's professional development.
Is this a 12-month commitment?
Yes. The mastermind runs from February 2027 to January 2028. Members commit to the full 12 months, with monthly payments.
Why are places limited?
Because this isn't a webinar with 200 people watching. The small-group format allows members to build relationships, contribute to conversations and receive meaningful opportunities to work through challenges.
What happens after I book a chat?
We'll have a conversation about your leadership, what you're looking for and whether the mastermind is the right fit. I'll explain the program, membership and next steps. No pressure.
YOUR NEXT CHAPTER
Your team needs you to keep growing, too.
You spend a lot of time helping other people develop.
Supporting their learning. Giving feedback. Helping them solve problems. Encouraging them to improve.
When was the last time you gave yourself that same opportunity?
You don't need to become a completely different person to become a better leader.
You need the opportunity to understand yourself, challenge your thinking, learn new skills and practise doing things differently.
And you don't have to do it alone.
12 months. 10–15 people leaders. Real conversations. Real development.
