EQ Impact Leadership Circle


Where leaders strengthen their influence, elevate their people leadership, and finally stop leading alone.

Susan Judd

What is the EQ Impact Leadership Circle?

The EQ Impact Leadership Circle is a high-impact, confidential leadership circle for SME owners and senior leaders who want to strengthen their influence, elevate their people leadership, and grow alongside a trusted group of peers.

The 2026 program is offered as a Founding Global Cohort, bringing together leaders from Australia, North America and select global regions.

Leading a team can feel isolating. Having tough conversations, managing performance, lifting culture, and navigating uncertainty is challenging, and often leaders don’t have a safe space to talk openly about what’s really going on.

This is that space.

The Circle brings together leaders who want to sharpen their people leadership, deepen their emotional intelligence, and learn practical strategies they can apply immediately. Each session blends discussion, real-life scenarios, and targeted EQ micro-learnings to help you lead with clarity, calm, and impact.

Places are limited to eight leaders in the Founding Global Cohort.

Who This Is For?

The EQ Impact Leadership Circle is ideal for:

  • SME owners and senior leaders working across Australia, North America and globally
  • SME owners who need to lead people, not just operations
  • Senior leaders responsible for team culture, communication, and performance
  • Leaders who want a confidential, supportive space to share challenges and test ideas
  • Anyone who feels stretched, isolated, or unsure how to move their team forward

You don’t need perfection, just a willingness to grow.

A year that transformed how I lead

“The EQ Impact Circle gave me a valuable deep dive into how I operate day-to-day and the impact this has on my team. It encouraged genuine reflection and helped me consider alternative behaviours and perspectives. 

Throughout the year, I addressed broader team culture challenges within the business. Together, we identified key gaps and focused on strengthening engagement, ensuring our staff feel supported in the right ways.”

— Casselle Watson
Director, Watson’s Caravans. Current EQ Impact Member Australia (2025)

A circle that brings clarity, accountability & real support

“After 15 years in business, I wasn’t sure if EQ Impact would offer anything new or be relevant for me. But Susan helped me get crystal clear on what was working, and what absolutely wasn’t, across my businesses. The clarity was unexpected and incredibly valuable.

What surprised me most was the accountability and support from the group. It wasn’t just Susan keeping me on track; the Circle itself became a sounding board. A place for advice, ideas and fresh perspectives that helped me elevate my leadership even further.

I can’t recommend EQ Impact highly enough.”
