About Leading Lights
Leading Lights exists to encourage and support people to celebrate their humanness. To strengthen their inner clarity and lead themselves proactively in this fast-changing world.
In this age of AI - where complexity is rising fast, centred, self-leadership has never mattered more.
A New Compass is our guiding framework: a practical, heart-led approach to navigating change, tuning into intuition, and aligning inner purpose with everyday action.
We create learning spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with who they are, and grow the confidence to lead with intention - at work, at home, and in their communities.
Whether you’re beginning your journey or expanding your horizons, Leading Lights offers tools, insights, and guidance to help you find and follow your Inner North.

About Tania Louise McInnes
Kia ora - hello! I’m Tania, founder of the Leading Lights Series and facilitator of A New Compass.
My work centres on heart-led leadership, self-awareness, and helping people trust their own wisdom in a fast-changing world that can feel a little (lot) overwhelming.
I bring years of experience across leadership, governance, and community development, grounded in a deep belief that every person has their own unique Inner North - a direction that becomes clearer when we pause, reflect, and listen.
My approach blends practical tools with intuition, curiosity, and a commitment to lifting people and communities.
I’m here to create spaces where you can step into your own clarity, courage, and capability, leading from the inside out.
I'm a mama to Jesse and live in Northland, Aotearoa New Zealand.
