Why Launchpad Foundations?
Mid-career brings increased responsibility, complex challenges, and the need to plan your next move, often alongside personal demands and limited time.
Most training focuses on technical competence. But what truly sets effective leaders apart is self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to lead yourself under pressure.
Launchpad Foundations equips you with the tools to:
- Develop sharper self-awareness to inform decisions and relationships
- Stay focused and grounded in high-pressure situations
- Lead with purpose, even when the path isn’t clear
- Build stronger, more sustainable approaches to growth and performance
Whether or not you continue with the full Launchpad programme, you’ll leave with practical skills that you can apply immediately with a renewed sense of direction.
Why learn from Susan?
I’m Susan, a professional psychologist who trains astronauts, Antarctic explorers, and mission control teams in the psychological skills needed to lead and perform in high-pressure environments.
But I also understand the complexity of everyday leadership: managing priorities, people, and progress in fast-moving or high-stakes workplaces.
I created Launchpad to bring the same high-performance strategies I teach in extreme environments to professionals who want to lead with more impact and less overwhelm.
Want to go further?
You can now bundle Launchpad Foundations with an exclusive in-person public speaking workshop being held in Berkshire on the 30th June 2025.
Normally this would cost £230 (for foundations) + £270 (for the in-person workshop) = £500
But if you join this June you get them both for only £400:
- The full Launchpad Foundations experience
- A day’s in-person public speaking workshop with lunch included and time to recharge in a beautiful venue
- One month in the Launchpad community
- A £100 saving on the combined offer
Feel free to check out the Public Speaking Workshop at the link above. If you want to book both together, look out for the option to add it to your order at checkout!
Frequently Asked Questions
How much time do I need to commit?
Around 2–3 hours across the month: one hour for the live workshop, one hour for the Q&A session, and time to explore your DISC profile and connect with the community. Additional resources are available if you want to go deeper.
Who is this for?
Launchpad Foundations is designed for mid-career professionals in complex or high-performance roles, including technical experts, managers, and aspiring leaders, who want to sharpen their internal skillset and lead more effectively.
What if I can’t make the live sessions?
All sessions are recorded and shared with participants afterwards.
Will I be pressured to join the full Launchpad programme?
No. Foundations is a complete standalone experience. If you decide you want to continue, you’ll have the opportunity, but there’s no pressure.
