In this episode of the Lead to Soar podcast, co-founder Michelle Redfern takes listeners inside the Lead to Soar Network. She explains what actually happens inside: weekly Hour of Power group coaching, monthly themes and challenges, and a highly curated leadership library she calls the “Leadership MBA.”
Listeners also hear from member Tam Nguyen, who shares how her confidence, perspective, and practical leadership toolkit have grown through the community.
The Lead to Soar Network is for women (inclusive of cisgender, trans, gender-diverse, and non-binary people who want a women-only space) who are ambitious for themselves, their teams, and their organisations. It is deliberately not social media—there are no algorithms, no noise, and no toxic commentary. In six years, the community has required zero moderation of posts or comments, making it a psychologically safe and outcomes-focused space.
What Listeners Will Learn
• Why the Lead to Soar Network exists and who it serves (early-career, mid-career, and senior women).
• How the Hour of Power works—and why real-time, real-world coaching accelerates leadership.
• The monthly rhythm: theme, challenge (Stop-Breathe-Reflect), and member discussions.
• How to link work to reputation and credibility as a leader.
• Why a women-only space matters for psychological safety and accelerated growth.
• What a 30-day guest pass includes.
• Membership options and value for both individuals and organisations.
Featured Guest: Tam Nguyen, who "helps organisations realise their financial and long-term growth objectives by being a trusted commercial partner.”
Tam describes how the network has sharpened her leadership lens—from practical career moves and risk management to building confidence through competence and results.
