I'my, joined by the hilarious and legendary Dave Jackson. You might know him from the School of Podcasting, or maybe you've seen him speak at one of the many podcasting events around the world (including the one where I first...

In this episode, I’m bringing back a firecracker of a guest: Sarah Cordiner — course creation expert, published author, former youngest university director in Australia and all-around powerhouse. We talk about: How she went f...

Yesterday I posted about my experiment interviewing with an AI recruiter called Jane, created by the tool Tavus. Jane represents a global consulting firm, and honestly, the experience felt surprisingly real, yet clearly robot...

This episode starts with a contradiction: a gorgeous blue-sky walk... paired with a doomsday AI podcast. In this reflection, I explore: What I actually think about AI (spoiler: no one really knows) A sharp, pragmatic post by ...

In today’s episode, I’m digging up a concept I wrote about last year that’s suddenly getting a second life: The Influence Manifesto . While I didn’t get to cover every part of it, one line in particular really stood out to a ...

Hey friends! In today’s episode of Leanne on Demand , I’m diving into a concept that helped me have one of my most productive (and weirdly peaceful) mornings in a while: Signal vs Noise . Yesterday, I mapped out my top 3 prio...

This episode is a little different — it’s a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of a live experiment I ran last week. If you’re subscribed to my Friday Substack, you may have already seen the video, but even without the visuals, I ...

Hey, friends! Welcome to Talk The Walk — and this one’s for all the writers, podcasters, LinkedIn post-drafters, and idea hoarders who know they have something to say… but just can’t seem to hit publish. In this live episode,...

In today's Weekend Rewind, I'm revisiting a conversation from 2019 with my virtual friend Kirsty Lewis, founder of the School of Facilitation based in the UK. Kirsty is deeply passionate about the art of learning, training, a...

In this episode, I dig into a hot topic here in Australia: The Right to Disconnect —that new law that lets you legally ignore after-hours work emails. On the surface, it feels like a win for boundaries... but when you pair it...

This one’s a bit of a brain spill from my pre-Everest Base Camp trek prep — but there’s a sneaky behavioural insight tucked in there too. I share: Why I’m buying a neoprene cover for my hydration straw (spoiler: negative 20°C...

Today I took a scroll down memory lane… via my Notes app. Looking for inspiration for today’s episode, I wasn’t vibing with anything recent, so I went way back—to my first note ever, from 2013 (hint: it was bad stock advice 🫣...

I just got back from a dream of a Monday down the Gold Coast with my brilliant friendtor, Petra Zink. Ocean views, whale sightings, big chats — you know the ones that meander between business and life and make you rethink eve...

With 122 days to go until I head off to Nepal for the Everest Base Camp trek and the 6,200m Lobuche climb (still can’t believe I just said that 😳), training is getting real. And I had a massive realisation this week — climbin...

Welcome to the Weekend Rewind ! Today, I’m sharing a conversation with someone I’ve had the privilege of knowing (and Zooming with!) for years— Jeff Skipper . Jeff and I first met virtually through Alan Weiss’s consulting com...

I’m reading out my latest Work Fame article, and it’s all about envy . Yep, that tight feeling you get when someone you know just posted another win on LinkedIn and your stomach does a backflip. We all feel it. But instead of...

We’re officially at the halfway point of this daily podcast experiment — episode 184. Wild, right? I feel pretty proud that it’s still going… even prouder that you’re still listening. Today’s episode is a bit of a zoom-out re...

Hey! Have you ever been told to slow down at work—even when you thought you were helping? On a recent hike, I was listening to 10x is Easier Than 2x and heard a phrase I’d never come across before: Rate Buster . It stopped me...

Over the weekend, I casually dropped the term Vibe Coding on my Instagram story and was hit with a wave of DMs asking, “What is that?” Fair question. In today’s episode, I break down what vibe coding is (in simple, non-tech s...

Today’s episode starts off with a voice note from my friend James Carpenter, who’s living the dream right now—watching cricket live in the West Indies. He gives us a front-row seat to the current series, but what really spark...

Thanks for jumping into the weekend with me — and for this one, we're rewinding way back to the early days of First Time Facilitator (think 2018!). In just 40 minutes, Sue dishes out some of the most practical, grounded advic...

Hey, it’s Leanne! This one’s a rewind worth re-listening to — my live convo with Alan Weiss on Talk the Walk . We jammed on a topic close to my heart: why ambiguity isn’t the enemy — it’s actually your unfair advantage . If y...

This one is straight from the Work Fame Substack — and it’s a story I didn’t expect to write when I started typing. I thought I was going to talk about how podcasting has helped my career… but then this angle took over, and I...
