For leaders who care deeply
Everything you need to know about Worksparks — from how it works to who it's for to what happens to your data.
"Worksparks is in early access. That means the product is live, it works, and real leaders are using it — and it also means you get a direct line to the team and a say in what gets built next."

Worksparks was founded by Sonia McDonald — leadership coach, author, and CEO of LeadershipHQ — after 30 years of working with leaders who needed support in real time, not just in scheduled sessions. It’s built on her coaching methodology and her deep understanding of what leaders actually face.

Worksparks is a real-time leadership coaching tool designed for the moments that actually test you — the difficult conversation, the decision that keeps you up, the situation where you need clarity fast. It gives you structured, coaching-informed support the moment you need it. No scheduling. No waiting. Always private.
Worksparks is built on a specific leadership coaching methodology developed by Sonia McDonald over 30 years of working with leaders. It’s not a general AI tool with a leadership prompt — it’s a structured coaching experience grounded in real frameworks for emotional regulation, cognitive reframing, and practical communication. The guidance you receive is specific to your situation, not a generic answer that could apply to anyone.
Absolutely not. Your conversations in Worksparks are completely private. Your organisation, your manager, and your HR team have zero visibility into what you share. Nothing is tracked, scored, or reported. What you share in Worksparks stays in Worksparks.
No. Worksparks is a complement to human coaching — not a replacement for it. If you have a coach, think of Worksparks as the support between sessions for the moments that can’t wait. If you’re dealing with serious mental health concerns, please seek support from a qualified professional. Worksparks is a leadership tool, not a clinical service.
Worksparks works best for professional leadership challenges — difficult conversations, performance issues, team conflict, decision-making under pressure, navigating change, and the day-to-day weight of leading people. It’s not designed for personal mental health crises, legal advice, or HR process guidance.
Worksparks is available on mobile and desktop. Once you sign up for early access, you’ll receive instructions to access the platform. No complex setup required — if you can send a message, you can use Worksparks.
Worksparks is free during the early access period. When paid plans launch, founding members will receive priority access and preferred pricing. We’re committed to keeping Worksparks affordable — it was built specifically to give every leader access to support, not just those at the top.
You open Worksparks and describe what you’re facing — a conversation, a decision, a situation. Worksparks helps you work through it with structured prompts and coaching frameworks, and you walk away with specific language, a clear approach, and practical next steps. Most sessions take 5-10 minutes.
Yes. Worksparks is designed mobile-first — built to be used wherever the moment finds you. Before the meeting. In the car. At 10pm when you can’t sleep.
Organisations can deploy Worksparks across their entire leadership cohort — from first-time managers to senior executives. It sits alongside existing L&D programs and coaching initiatives as a real-time support layer, available to every leader every day. We provide onboarding support and positioning guidance to help embed it effectively.
Yes. We offer pilot arrangements for organisations who want to test Worksparks with a cohort before committing to a wider deployment. Get in touch and we’ll design something that works for your context.
Individual conversations are always completely private. Future versions of Worksparks will offer anonymous, aggregated insights for People teams — helping organisations understand the themes and pressures their leaders are facing, without any individual-level data. We will never share individual usage data with organisations.
For early access, deployment is straightforward and requires no complex IT integration. Most organisations can have their leadership cohort onboarded within a week. Enterprise deployments with custom requirements may take longer — contact us to discuss your specific needs.
EAP programs are designed primarily for personal mental health and well-being support. Worksparks is specifically designed for professional leadership challenges — the performance conversations, decisions, and team dynamics that leaders face every day. They serve different needs and work well together.
Leadership programs build capability. Worksparks activates it in the moment. Most learning doesn’t transfer to behaviour because there’s no support in the real moment of pressure. Worksparks is the bridge between what leaders learn in programs and how they actually show up when it counts.
Pricing is based on the size of your leadership cohort. We offer Starter, Growth, and Enterprise tiers. Contact us for a conversation and a custom quote based on your organisation’s needs.
All conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. We use industry-standard security practices and infrastructure to protect your data at every point.
Never. Your data is never sold or shared with third parties for any purpose.
Worksparks is built to comply with the Australian Privacy Act and GDPR. Full details are available in our privacy policy.
