About the The Leadership Pod Program

🚀 You Got Promoted… Now What?

In many workplaces, top-performing individual contributors are rewarded with leadership roles. The problem? They aren’t given the training to succeed as people managers. Suddenly, they’re expected to lead teams, manage conflicts, and inspire others—without guidance. Many struggle in silence, figuring things out through trial and error.

 It doesn’t have to be this way.

That’s exactly why The Leadership Pod Program was created—so that young leaders don’t have to go through the same struggle.

Now in its third year, The Leadership Pod Program is Building Better Leader’s signature leadership development program designed to equip young leaders with the structure, support, and accountability needed to grow into their full potential.

⚙️Core Methodology

  • Structure – Proven leadership frameworks and training to equip you with the right tools, so you don’t have to figure things out on your own.

  • Support – A peer-driven mentoring circle where you can get real guidance from experienced and trained Pod Leaders, honest feedback, and accountability from people on the same journey.

🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️Whether you’re a company investing in your managers or an individual looking to step up, The Leadership Pod Program is designed for you.

Who is this for?

New managers with 1 – 3 years people leadership exposure

HR professionals involved in employee engagement

Note: This program is currently only available to young leaders residing in Klang Valley, Malaysia

The Leadership Pod Program reviews

  • What made this experience even more special was the people. I had the chance to connect with peers from different industries, each with unique stories, yet all driven by the same goal: to become better leaders and challenge the traditional way leadership is done.

    Jaclyn, Batch 5

  • I grew throughout the sessions. It helped me understand myself better. My personal preferences can co-exist with me being a better leader, both to myself and to the people I work with.

    Chiara, Batch 4

  • This program is very helpful to me. I was able to see different perspective from individuals in the pod. Being able to receive guidance on how to think in a different perspective and approach motivates me to grow and develop into a more matured self.

    Crystal, Batch 4

  • "When I was promoted to a managerial position at my workplace, I wasn't sure if I was a good leader. However, after joining the Pod, I feel validated that I am on the right track."

    Elaikha, Batch 3

  • "What I value most is the support I received from my Pod members. They have a positive and open mindset which helped me to find not only solutions to my challenges but also provided me with new perspectives. It feels like a "therapy" session."

    Mynd, Batch 3

  • "It's been an eye opening and interesting learning journey. Through the Pod, we’ve come to learn to be better versions of ourselves; not just to lead but also in creating a healthier mindset in the face of challenges at our own workplaces. I've learned that whatever challenges I face at work, I'm never truly alone."

    Michelle, Batch 2

  • "I've been inspired from the different leadership styles, perspectives and learnings. The sessions we had together gave me comfort, clarity & strength when life got crazy and tough. Looking forward to what comes next."
