SOSA CONSULTING / GROUP LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

The People Leader Project.

Because managing people doesn't come with a manual.

A 10-month group leadership development program for people who manage people.

You're leading a team. Managing personalities. Making decisions. Having the tricky conversations. Trying to get people to take more ownership.

And somewhere in amongst all of that, you're supposed to be developing yourself too.

So who's in YOUR corner?

The People Leader Project brings middle leaders together for practical learning, honest conversations, accountability and a network of people who GET IT.

No fluff. No pretending you've got it all figured out. Just real leadership development you can actually use.

February–November 2027. Founding memberships now open.

YOU KNOW THE FEELING

You're good at your job. But managing people? That's a whole different ball game.

Maybe you were promoted because you were brilliant at what you did. Maybe you've been leading people for years.

Either way, there's a good chance you've thought...

"Why does EVERYTHING still come back to me?"
"How do I have this conversation without making things worse?"
"Why am I constantly reminding people to do their jobs?"
"Am I being too nice? Too direct? Not direct enough?"
"How do I get my team to take more ownership?"
"Who can I actually talk to about this stuff?"
You don't need to have all the answers to be a great leader.

But you do need people to challenge your thinking, share different perspectives and help you work out what to do next.

That's exactly why I created The People Leader Project.

SO WHAT ACTUALLY IS IT?

Leadership development. With people in your corner.

Think practical learning meets group coaching, accountability and a really good sounding board.

Each month we tackle a real leadership challenge.

We unpack what's happening, share ideas, challenge perspectives and work through practical strategies.

Then you take what you've learned back to work.

And the following week? We check in.

Because leadership doesn't get better just because you attended a workshop.

MEET YOUR FACILITATOR

Hey, I'm Alicia! 👋

I'm Alicia Savage, founder of SOSA Consulting.

Former Deputy Principal, leadership facilitator, certified coach, lover of learning and teaching, and someone who's 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, develop and support people, stepping into leadership brought a whole new set of things to figure out.

The decisions. The personalities. The conversations. The expectations.

And the constant realisation that what works for one person might be completely wrong for another. 😂

These days, through SOSA, I work with leaders, teams and organisations to develop better thinking, stronger communication and more effective ways of working together.

My style? Curious. Practical. Honest.

I'll ask questions, challenge your thinking, share tools and probably have a laugh with you along the way.

Leadership development doesn't need to be complicated to be valuable.

It just needs to make a difference to what you actually DO.
