Playground

Stories of Impact

  • Belinda is an absolute wealth of knowledge – she drew on both personal examples and simple frameworks to give practical strategies to enhance my leadership. I came away from the experience with a number of useful tools I’ll use both on and off the field moving forward.


    Gabby Seymour, AFLW Player, Richmond FC

  • The Leadership Playground provided me with opportunities to learn and develop a skill set unique to my personality that I can now use in my career. I was pushed outside my comfort zone but I am better off because of this.

  • Working with the Leadership Playground, in particular the Founder Belinda Clark has been transformative in developing our female coaches here in Victoria through building on their leadership capabilities and providing them with the courage to lead professionally and more specifically within the coaching environment. Belinda shared practical strategies for our coaches to utilise and inspired the group through her own professional and personal experiences. I would recommend the leadership playground to anyone looking to unlock their potential.

    Jennifer Taffs, State Coaching Manager, AFL Victoria

  • The team at the Leadership Playground not only delivered an exceptional leadership program for us, but they was also a pleasure to collaborate with. Candidate feedback overwhelmingly praised the program, finding it both practically supportive and empowering. For a truly authentic and impactful leadership program experience, the Leadership Playground is an excellent choice. We strongly recommend them.

    Jilly Collins, General Manager, Women’s Rugby, Rugby Australia

  • I got in touch with Belinda wanting to pursue the Leadership Playground program when I was at the lowest in my cricketing journey. The situation on the cricketing front was taking a massive toll on my life off the field. It was a great experience doing the program and surely the best decision I took then. I shall forever be indebted to Belinda.
    I would highly recommend it to athletes wanting to hone their leadership skills and have a greater impact beyond their field of play.

  • Belinda's exceptional leadership skills, vast array of Sports Administration experience and her unique ability to create individualised programs that meet the player where they are at, have made the Leadership Program a highly sort after program and an invaluable experience for our players. The program is game-changing and she is a complete joy to work with. I can confidently say that the Program has been transformative in developing multiple generations of female leaders within Australian Cricket.

  • I have had the privilege of working with Belinda Clark on Cricket Victoria’s Girls Leadership Program. Belinda’s extensive knowledge, thoroughness and organisational skills have been invaluable. She has fostered a supportive and empowering environment for the 80 girls participating in the program, encouraging their growth and leadership development. Belinda’s knowledge and dedication have inspired not only the girls but also myself and the other facilitators.
