Welcome to Sustainable Leaderspace

Cultivating clarity, capacity, and commitment for transformative change.

About Us

The Leaders Co-Lab Space is a FREE online professional development co-working space designed for change leaders who are taking the future into their own hands.

If you believe there is a better world, a better way, a better future wanting to be born, and feel compelled to accelerate and enable that change through your work, join us!

The Leaders Co-Lab Space is a part of The Leaders Co-Lab, LLC, founded by Melissa O'Mara. 

The primary mission of The Leaders Co-Lab (TLC) is to catalyze and accelerate progress toward that better future - by bringing game-changers together in new ways to co-create a better future for people, organizations, society, and the planet.


Think of The Leaders Co-Lab Space as a get-away - away from social media, and the pressures of work and home. 

It is an "online living room" - a place where progressive change leaders and thought leaders gather for interactive learning and networking events, and to support each other's growth.  

It is also the heart and entryway of a much larger house - with lots of other free and paid spaces, experiences, and offerings. 

And if there is pressure here - or heat - it's because you are choosing it for your own holistic growth - as a leader, and as a human.

We're focused on Inner Development and Change Leadership

Leadership is an inside-out job, and great leaders are committed to continuous learning on the job as they pursue the kinds of challenges that will grow them, and their impact. 

Using leading-edge adult vertical development tools and frameworks, and the collective experience of our collaborative network of professional coaches, we support (and challenge) you to do the deep inner AND outer work necessary for maximum leadership impact.

Change starts with you - the minute you cross the edge and commit to that next big change - the change that matters deeply to you - and that you are compelled to make real for yourself and others, even though you don't yet know how to do it.  

This is what it means to "play a Bigger Game".  

You are so compelled that you step into bold action.  

And you build the alliances, resources and skills you need along the way.  

This community will be part of what keeps you on that Bigger Game trajectory.  

We help you to take off - vertically - like a rocket ship.  

Vertical development is about stretching beyond your comfort zone and building a new mindset, and a new way of operating in an increasingly complex world.  It's about increasing your capacity to see and act as a systems-aware change leader.

Vertical development can happen when we:

  1.  Step up in an emergency - or consciously choose to step into a "heat experience" - a big stretch
  2. "Collide with" or encounter diversity, new people, and new ideas
  3.  AND ...when we take (and make) the time to reflect on what we are learning consciously and intentionally. Some call this "balcony time".  It is important to connect the dots, make sense of and integrate learning into our way of thinking, and our way of being. 

The Leaders Co-Lab offers introductory free and budget-friendly experiences to support ALL leaders.  

We also offer more in-depth paid learning intensives and paid community memberships and peer circles that are designed to grow each of us through programmatic (opt-in) heat experiences, collisions in the network & beyond, and through intentional reflection, "sense-making" and integration.

The outcome? Like almost everything in life, that's truly up to you.

Come play with us, participate in the free events, interact generously with your hosts and peers - with the intention to grow yourself and your impact.


Our moderators are coaches, provocateurs, and professionals with the expertise to create meaningful hybrid (online/offline) stretch experiences and action-based learning - so that you can lead change that matters.

You, our purpose-driven changemakers and corporate catalysts, bring unique insights, expertise, passion, perspectives, challenges, experiences, knowledge, resources, and tools.
