From Student to Entrepreneurial Leader
Hi, I’m Dr. Valerie Woo. I created the LEADS Launchpad because I wish I had something like this when I was starting out. You’ll learn the five core foundations of leadership, entrepreneurship, and life in a way that’s simple, practical, and actionable.
When I started my first business, I was fresh out of dental school. I had the degree, the ambition, and the dream… but no roadmap.
No one had taught me how to turn a vision into a real plan. I was figuring out everything... leadership, systems, even money, all on the fly. And while I learned a lot along the way, I made plenty of mistakes that I wish I could go back and save my younger self from.
That’s why the idea for LEADS Launchpad came to life.
It started when my daughter began asking big questions in her undergrad:
I realized she, and so many other students, were where I once was: full of potential, eager to learn, but missing a simple structure to pull it all together.
LEADS Launchpad is the course I wish existed when I was in college.
It’s not a textbook. It’s not theory. It’s a practical, student-friendly roadmap built around the five foundations I wish I had known earlier:
Lead with Vision so you know where you’re headed.
Empower Yourself & Others so you’re not doing it alone.
Attract Opportunities by showing up and building connections.
Develop Systems so you can work smarter, not harder.
Sustain Yourself so you don’t burn out before you even begin.
This course gives you the tools, activities, and a step-by-step framework to launch with confidence—whether that’s a side hustle, a future career, or simply the life you want to create.
I built LEADS Launchpad so students like you don’t have to piece it all together the hard way. Because your big ideas deserve a clear starting point—and you deserve a roadmap that works in real life.
College is busy, and figuring out your next steps can feel overwhelming. The LEADS Launchpad gives you five simple pillars to help you find direction, use your strengths, open doors, stay organized, and protect your energy. It’s the roadmap I wish I had in college—so you can start stronger and go further.
Get clear on where you want to go, and why it matters. You’ll craft a personal vision that helps guide your decisions, keeps you focused, and gives you direction as you balance school, work, and life.
Discover your strengths, learn when to ask for help, and build a support network that has your back. You’ll see that leadership isn’t about doing it all alone—it’s about creating a team around you.
Learn how to show up, connect with people, and open doors that move you closer to your goals. We’ll give you practical tools to grow your network and start creating your own opportunities.
Find out how simple habits and routines can make life easier and more productive. You’ll create systems for time, tasks, and focus so you can get things done without feeling overwhelmed.
Protect your energy, health, and money so you can go the distance. We’ll help you set boundaries, create rhythms that last, and build a healthy foundation for the future you want.
Bring it all together into a 30-day action plan you can start right away. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a personal roadmap you can use in real life.
The LEADS Launchpad is designed to fit into your busy college life with short, practical lessons you can finish in just minutes. Each module includes videos, toolkits, and activities to help you apply what you learn right away. You’ll also get access to worksheets, templates, and trackers that make it simple to stay organized and take action.
If you choose the community option, you’ll have the support of peers and mentors as you work through the course. By the end, you’ll walk away with a 30-Day Action Plan to help you launch with confidence.
