You’ve got the expertise. But where do you even start?

If you’ve ever thought:

“I know I have something to share, but I don’t know how to structure it.”

“I wouldn’t even know what to say in a workshop.”

“Do I need contracts? What if someone asks a question I don’t know the answer to?”

You're not alone.

Most educators are never taught how to turn their classroom experience into paid professional development. There are hidden complexities, content design, group dynamics, pricing, logistics, and yes, even tech setup.

But once you have a process, it all becomes doable.

A pathway for educators,
built by an educator.

Hi, I’m Sally Haughey, founder of Wunderled and creator of the Child-Led Mastery Academy. But before all of that, I was an overwhelmed teacher trying to make it through my hardest year yet.

During that year, I worked with a child who was severely oppositional. I began documenting my experience, what worked, what didn’t, what surprised me, and sharing it with others.

And slowly, it grew. Other educators started following. My story became a session. That session became a workshop. That workshop became a career.

Today, I travel the world leading PD workshops, keynoting conferences, and supporting educators in 101+ countries. And now I want to show you how to do the same.

"Sally has helped me find the words, the structure, and the confidence to truly own what I bring to the table.

She’s helped me shape a coaching framework that reflects both my heart and my expertise. I’ve taken brave steps—launching new services, raising my visibility, and trusting my voice—because she’s been there to guide me every step of the way. She doesn’t just cheer me on; she stretches me gently, always with love and intention."

Living costs are rising. Educators are being asked to do more for less.
And yet, the world still desperately needs your voice.

This is your chance to take what you’ve lived through, the classroom wins, the struggles, the breakthrough moments, and turn it into something that serves other educators and your income.

Why this program?

There are plenty of public speaking and course creation courses out there.

But this one is built by an early childhood educator, for educators.

Over the last 15+ years, I’ve:

Delivered hundreds of workshops globally

Helped over 300,000 educators through training and mentorship

Invested in high-level speaking programs and coaching

Read hundreds of books, tested countless approaches, and created a replicable system that works

Let me save you the trial-and-error.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this training “live”? What if I am in a different time zone?

This course is self-paced and pre-recorded. It is a brand new course that is under production. Here's the schedule release: Module 1 is instantly available upon purchase. Module 2 and 3 will be released Sunday, 12/8, Module 4, 5 and 6, 12/15.

Will I receive a PD Certificate for completing this course?

Yes, upon completion, you will be able to request a 2-hour Professional Development (PD) Certificate. Since each region is a little bit different with what they accept for PD training hours and because we are serving a global community, we encourage all participants to check directly with their province/state/territory/board to confirm if our program meets their standards.

Is this course similar to the Relationships and Guiding Children’s Behavior Certification course?

While some core elements from our Relationships and Guiding Children’s Behavior Certification course are included in The Child Compass, this course also offers new insights, specifically focusing on the 6 Core Needs of young children, with additional brain science details.

"I thought I knew what I was capable of—but with Sally’s guidance, I realized I’d been playing small."

"After taking several of Sally’s courses, certifications, and mentorship programs, I can confidently say I’m a better educator and leader because of her. Most recently, I’ve had the absolute joy and privilege of having Sally as my coach. Her honesty, transparency, and unwavering leadership helped me see a version of my potential I didn’t even know I was holding back on."

Carla Ward, Founder of Early Learning Foundations

The Alternative?

You could try to figure it out yourself. But that could cost you:

  • Countless hours
  • Thousands of dollars
  • Missed opportunities you weren’t prepared for

Most speaking programs with this level of structure cost upwards of $2,000, and they don’t focus on the real-world needs of educators.

This one does.

But… do I really need this?

You might be wondering:

  • “Do I have anything worth sharing?”
  • “Is this really the right time?”
  • “Will this actually work for me?”

Here’s what I’ll say: If you’ve spent years supporting children and navigating classrooms, then you already have what it takes.

This course simply gives you the blueprint to use it well, and share it widely.

Ready to get started?

You don’t have to have a website.
You don’t need to be a public speaker.
You just need to care, and be ready to learn.

"My biggest takeaway from working with Sally is: one does not need to fear being authentic.

Sally is a master at breaking concepts into simple, manageable steps, honouring the uniqueness of the participants while at the same time giving us strategies broad enough that we can make them our own.  All these strands: course content, self-reflection guides, coaching meetings are woven together, creating a safe landing space where one can build confidence, know they have something unique to offer, and take action to realize their offer. By working with Sally, I found my voice and the courage to put myself out there in the world of early childhood training. I am forever grateful."
