Meet Sonia McDonald

Sonia is a global leadership executive coach and advisor, thought leader, dynamic keynote speaker, and award-winning author. She is the CEO and founder of LeadershipHQ and McDonald Inc., and through this, she empowers and builds great leaders and leadership teams across the globe.

Named as one of the Top 250 Influential Women in the world as well as Top 100 Australian Entrepreneurs by Richtopia, Sonia is internationally recognized as an expert in leadership and strategy, organizational development, workplace diversity, transformational culture, and the neuroscience of leadership.

She has more than 25 years of experience in human resource management, leadership and organizational development and has held leadership positions around the world.

Sonia has written several books on leadership, including Leadership Attitude, Just Rock It! and First Comes Courage, and she writes regularly for publications such as The Australian, HRD Magazine, Smart Healthy Women, and Women’s Business Media. She has been published in BBC Capital, The Australian, HRD Magazine, Business Insider, and Smart Company.

What I love about Sonia is that she has literally dedicated her life to helping people develop into their best selves. And she tackles that from a lot of different angles, as a leadership expert in business, as an author, a coach, a LinkedIn influencer, as a teen mental health advocate, and as a parent.

She is someone who is a living example of being in integrity with her message in every area of her life.

Why is this important… because YOU are a leader. Whether you are an entrepreneur, working in a team at your organization, a parent, or simply an individual who wants to make a positive difference in the world, getting clear on the power inside you and how to wield that power for good is vital to your success… not only in business but in life as a whole.
