Hey friends, checking in from Camp Manji after a few hours of sleep. Before Nepal, a quick rewind to Brisbane Airport where I met Tim, Benjamin, and Renee — total legends. Benjamin joked about the old two-prong airplane headp...

Hey friends! I’m coming to you from the Coffee Club at Brisbane Airport. Today’s episode is all about the chaos, excitement, and mild panic of travel. I share my packing struggles, juggling 17kg of luggage, medications, and g...

Hey friends! Today’s episode is a quick one — I’m literally recording this while packing for my trip to Nepal! ✈️ If you’ve been following along, you’ll know I’ve done a lot of research for this trip — everything from gear li...

Hey, thanks for tuning in today. I’ve just wrapped up a road show all about The Two-Hour Workshop Blueprint , and one theme that kept popping up was the Review stage — the “R” in my SPARK framework: Set up, Power up, Activiti...

This week, I share a story that made me quite literally stop in my tracks — and pay attention. It started as a beautiful morning: coffee by the river with my friend Bhan, wearing her book as my workout accessory, feeling on t...

I loved this conversation with my guest, Marcus Crow , a professional speaker, MC, and facilitator who co-founded 10,000 Hours —a company with the perfect tagline: Daring ideas in a safe pair of hands. We explored what true c...

On this Halloween live stream, Alan Weiss and I had a spirited chat about the “tricks” consultants fall for and the “treats” clients actually value. We riffed on wild promises vs. real outcomes, commodity work vs. initiating ...

Happy Halloween! 🎃 In today’s episode, I share a few things I’m up to — including a fun LinkedIn Live with Alan Weiss on Consulting Trick or Treats (we’re swapping horror stories and ways to earn more “treats” like referrals ...

This episode came from one of those half-asleep thoughts that wouldn’t leave me alone — “damaged goods.” I unpack this idea that sometimes, as facilitators or change agents, we hold ourselves back because we assume the people...

In today’s episode, I’m reading and riffing on one of my all-time favourite internet articles — The #1 Sign You’re Winning in Life: No One Understands What the Hell You Do for a Living by Tim Denning. It hit me right between ...

Hey, thanks for tuning in today. Wow — what a wild couple of days here in Brisbane. After a massive hailstorm knocked out power for more than 24 hours, I escaped the 40-degree heat and hit the Gold Coast with my friend (and e...

When I released my Work Fame Substack on Friday, my phone rang—literally a minute after it went out. It was my friend Nicole, calling from a walk on the Gold Coast. She said, “Leanne, how do you create so much content and sti...

I’m absolutely delighted to welcome back my friend, leadership strategist and radiant human, Neen James —author of Folding Time , Attention Pays , and her new book Exceptional Experiences . If you’ve ever seen Neen in action,...

Today I’m diving into one of my favourite topics—building a facilitation and training business— with the brilliant Mark Garrett Hayes , founder of TrainingBusiness.com and host of the Training Business podcast. Mark’s career ...

Hey, it’s Leanne — and this week, three ideas have been looping in my brain. They’ve all got a theme of growth, but not in the hustle-bro, “reinvent yourself completely” kind of way. More like—snap yourself out of autopilot, ...

This week, I’m on the road—somewhere between Brisbane and the Sunny Coast—so I’m bringing you a short, reflective episode inspired by my friend (and fellow podcaster) Andy Storch . Andy sent me a couple of brilliant voice not...

Today’s episode comes from a great question I received from my friend Jonas Rajanto over in Finland. Jonas asked: “Hey Leanne, I know you’ve used and lauded Descript over the years. Can you say why Descript would be better th...

Hey, thanks for tuning in today! I’m just a couple of weeks out from heading to Nepal, and while most people would be focused purely on that, my brain’s already leaping ahead to what’s next . Here’s the thing — I love setting...

Hey friends — I’m still buzzing from this morning’s runner’s high ! I set out for a three-hour walk around Brisbane to soak in the jacarandas — those gorgeous purple blooms that light up the city — and somehow ended up walk-r...

I first met Ben Crothers at an asset-management conference in Sydney earlier this year. While I was running a session, he was at the back of the room doing his thing — graphically recording everything we covered. Afterward, w...

On the Weekend Rewind I’m joined by Martin Probst from Profound Leadership —author, career coach, professional mentor, and (brilliantly cheeky) Chief Education Officer . We first connected at the Institute for Learning Profes...

Hey, thanks for tuning in today. I’m talking about exposure — and not the kind you get warned about when it comes to sunburn or dodgy business deals. You can read the article here. Exposure is a word that gets a bit of a bad ...

Earlier this week, I ran a workshop and had one of those “note to self” moments. The host started reading out my bio—the one I’d sent ages ago—and as she was midway through, I was silently cringing. You know that feeling when...

I was in Victoria yesterday with a group of education leaders talking about leadership capability — and a side conversation popped up that I had to bring here. One of the leaders mentioned how hard it’s been to attract mentor...
