About

Work Fame (noun): a reputation that opens doors before you knock, and attracts the right opportunities to you. Not celebrity famous, not internet famous, work famous.

This show unpacks what it actually takes to build that kind of reputation at work, drawn from Leanne's own experience going from feeling invisible behind a screen to being flown around the world, facilitating executive strategy days and getting pulled into rooms she'd never had access to before. Whether you're building your own profile inside a big organisation, helping your team earn a seat at the table, or building recognition for your industry, each episode breaks down the practical (and sometimes a little corny) ideas that make it happen.

You don't have to find your dream job. You can make your job a dream.

Work Fame is based on Leanne's book of the same name, Work Fame: Get the Projects, Promotions, and Perks You Deserve (Wiley). This feed also carries the archive of her earlier daily show, Leanne On Demand.
