🌴140. Leanne's obnoxious business model pyramid
In today’s episode, I’m recapping my experience speaking at the Queensland Association of Collaborative Practice’s annual conference. It was an absolute honour to be the only non-lawyer on stage. But also, it gave me a chance to bring a fresh perspective to a room of highly skilled professionals.
I kick things off by explaining what collaborative practice actually is—because honestly, I only found out about it a couple of years ago, and I wish more people knew it existed. It’s a more human, client-led way to navigate things like separation or divorce, without the chaos of courtroom drama.
From there, I share the key theme of my keynote: trade-offs —in law, in business, and in life. I riff on four dualities I’ve noticed in my own career journey:
- From hero to guide
- From appointments to access
- From doing with hands and feet to thinking and speaking
- And ultimately, the dream: getting paid to be yourself
Yep, I finally shared my obnoxious business model pyramid publicly.
This episode is for you if:
- You're curious about what collaborative practice looks like
- You're navigating how to evolve your own business model
- You want to reflect on where you spend your energy—and how to level up
- You dream of working in your zone of genius and getting paid for being you
Whether you’re in the legal profession or not, I think this conversation will spark a bit of self-reflection—and maybe even a reframe.
🎧 Tune in and let me know: where are you spending your time on the pyramid?
