Ever struggled with getting buy-in on your ideas at work? You're definitely not alone! I've worked with plenty of clients who need help influencing, leading without formal authority, and just generally getting their projects ...

Uh oh—got one of those emails. You know the kind: subject line screams “Copyright Violation.” 😬 In this episode, I share the full story of how I got caught out using an image of Aussie cricketer David Warner on my website—wit...

This episode begins like my Monday morning: calm, crisp, uneventful... until it wasn't. After a peaceful dog walk and coffee run, I returned home to a full-blown emergency scene—ambulance, police, tow trucks, a flipped car— r...

Hey, thanks for pressing play today! If you’ve ever hesitated before making a bold move — whether it’s sending a message, asking a question, or sharing an idea — then today’s episode is for you. I’m riffing on a rule from my ...

Hey, I'm Leanne—recovering gearsplainer. In today’s episode, I riff on a hilarious and all-too-real article I found tucked inside a gear package I ordered for my Nepal trek. It's called Gear Splaining by Dan Slater, and wow—d...

This one is a facilitator’s dream: We’re riffing behind the scenes on what it actually feels like to lead a room—mentally, emotionally, even physically—with two brilliant guests, Tricia Conyers and John Norcross from the Ever...

We all know that relationships—business, personal, professional—require maintenance. It’s not set-and-forget. That’s why I’m bringing back this amazing conversation with recognition rockstar Sarah McVanel. She’s someone who d...

I just wrapped up a webinar for a long-time client — an organisation that delivers live , critical , and completely anonymous support via webinars. That’s right. No faces. No names. Just silence... and a flurry of comments in...

Today's episode is all about clarity —what it gives you, and where it can trip you up. I reflect on something powerful I heard on The Diary of a CEO with Jimmy Fallon. He shared his obsession with getting on Saturday Night Li...

You’ve probably seen this post floating around. It goes something like: “If you get the job done in 60 minutes, it’s because you spent 10 years learning how. They owe you for the years, not the minutes. Charge accordingly.” N...

Today’s episode is a fun personal reflection—and a bit of a public declaration. I was talking to mates about the kind of work that really lights us up. For me, it’s this—talking into a microphone. Podcasting. Sharing ideas. C...

In today’s episode, I unpack a moment I’m not super proud of—a time I said four little words that accidentally derailed a conversation and made someone defensive. I didn’t mean to. But I can see now how it landed, and I’m usi...

This week’s rewind is extra special because I just spent Wednesday night hanging out with Andy Balzat and the incredible Banana Life team at one of their signature games nights in Brisbane. So, I thought: What better time to ...

In today’s episode of Talk the Walk , I bring you a spicy, spirited convo with the one and only Alan Weiss — and we go deep (and a little rogue) on a hot topic: Do you really need a virtual assistant to grow your business? Al...

Hey hey — today’s episode is timed literally to the Thermomix timer. I had 14 minutes while my eggs boiled, so that’s what I gave myself to record, edit, and publish this. (Spoiler: The beep didn’t make it in.) What I wanted ...

This one’s personal—and iconic. In today’s episode, I share the wild, weird, wonderful story of how my husband’s dream car—a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am—finally made its way into our lives. But it’s not just a story about the car. ...

Hey from the Brisbane Airport car park! Today’s episode is a little... rogue. I flew to Newcastle and back this morning — not for a keynote, not for a holiday, but for something frequent flyers call a status run . If you’ve n...

Today’s episode is inspired by a night out under the stars at Brisbane’s Riverstage, where I saw Train live (highly recommend, by the way!). It got me thinking — not just about great music, but about mashups. Remixes. Genre-b...

Happy Monday! Today I’m riffing on a recent episode of Greg Isenberg’s Startup Ideas podcast that had my brain buzzing. I love how freely Greg and his guests share what they’re experimenting with—this time, it was all about u...

On today's Weekend Rewind, I'm joined by good friend, psychologist and self-leadership expert, Dr. Maike Neuhaus. Maike and I always go deep when we chat (usually over long lunches), so this episode feels like a peek behind t...

Hey! Thanks for tuning in to this weekend’s rewind. This conversation was recorded a few years ago, but wow—has it aged well. Today’s guest is the brilliant Stephen Shapiro , an innovation expert who's spent decades helping o...

Hey, thanks for tuning in today! I'm still here in Sydney, fresh off a multi-day event. I obviously can’t reveal the client or all the details, but I can share a powerful takeaway from the experience—especially for those of y...

Hey friends — coming at you from Sydney, where I’ve spent way too much time indoors today. Seriously, it was 4:30 PM before I even saw daylight. Not ideal. My Oura Ring told me my readiness score was 52 — yikes — but I rallie...

This episode is a bit of a pulse check. With all the disruption flying at us—AI, tech, changing markets—I’m keeping my head up, scanning the horizon, and thinking about what actually matters as we look ahead (but not too far ...
