This morning’s episode comes straight from my parked car, because of course I arrived super early for a workshop again. People assume it’s discipline. It’s actually trauma from living near a bridge that collapses into chaos t...

Today I’m taking you behind the scenes of a values project I’m running for a client who has operated for twenty years with no formal values. They now want clarity for the next twenty years, and my job is to help them create v...

Today’s episode is a look behind the curtain at what actually happens when you come home from a massive trip and try to slot straight back into “normal life”. Spoiler: nothing feels normal. I’m juggling a big work week, a sud...

This week I’m talking with someone who knows exactly what it takes to shift people out of old habits and into new ways of thinking and behaving. Yoke van Dam is a behavioural change coach, facilitator and leadership trainer w...

This week I’m exploring how something as simple and tactile as Lego can open people up, shift conversations, and spark ideas in ways most traditional workshops can’t touch. My guest is Michael Fearne, founder of Pivotal Play ...

Today's Work Fame article. Read it / comment over at: https://www.workfa.me/ In today’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my Everest Base Camp trip. And no, this isn’t a hiking podcast now. This is about what happe...

Today I’m pulling out two standout passages from my friend Sally Prosser’s new book, Voice Print. Sal and I go way back to a mastermind in 2020 when she was toying with TikTok. Within a year she’d exploded to 300k followers b...

In this episode I’m back home at my desk, testing my tech before a webinar and settling into the strange, slightly disorienting experience of re-entry after my Everest Base Camp trip. I talk through the mix of appreciation an...

Today’s episode comes straight from a rooftop bar in Singapore, where I’m easing my way back into city life after weeks in Nepal. The contrast hit me hard. Clear air. Tap water. A sunset skyline instead of dust and diesel. I’...

I recorded this one from my favourite cafe in Kathmandu (Rise and Grind Coffeee) on my last day in the city. Same table, same first-day coffee spot, but a very different version of me sitting here. This trip has pushed every ...

This conversation with Sophie Scott felt like a masterclass wrapped in a reality check. She’s one of the few people who can talk about burnout, anxiety, performance and communication without drifting into clichés or soft advi...

This conversation with Jenny Blake was a masterclass in running a business without burying yourself in noise, pressure, and pointless admin. Jenny is one of the few people in the business world who genuinely walks her talk. H...

In this episode of Leanne on Demand, I sit down with Tim just days after he summited Ushba East. He’s still recovering, but he gives me an honest, raw, and vivid look into what it truly took to reach nearly 6,200 meters. From...

I’m tucked into a cozy tea house in Perche while our summit team pushed on to 6,200 meters, and this morning we found out they all made it. Hearing that news after imagining them climbing at 1 am in negative 20 degrees on fix...

High in the Himalayas at 5,500 meters, the air is thin, the tents are freezing, and every step feels like a test. Tomorrow, we attempt a 6,119-meter summit, and right now it feels like standing on the edge of something enormo...

Hey, thanks for tuning in! Today’s episode is all about my first-ever experience using crampons, those spiky tools you strap onto your boots to tackle icy, slippery terrain. I take you through the ups and downs of figuring th...

Just wrapped a long 10-kilometre hike, and I’m sitting in a warm tea house in Ache feeling a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction. Today’s episode is about making the most of what you’ve already got, staying organized at altitu...

I sat down in Brisbane with my friend and fellow facilitator, Steph Clarke , to dig into team coaching —what it is, how it differs from facilitation, and why letting a little chaos reign can be the catalyst a dysfunctional te...

When you meet someone who’s genuinely passionate about PowerPoint, you know it’s going to be a great conversation. My guest today is Thomas Krafft , co-founder of Blue Box Data Storytelling , and honestly, I think of him as “...

I’m coming to you from high in the Himalayas at around 4,400 meters, absolutely exhausted but strangely proud after one of the toughest days of this trek. Today’s episode is all about the reality of hitting altitude, running ...

Today, I hit a wall. Not the usual “this is hard but I’ll push through” kind, but a full, unexpected breakdown in the middle of a mountain trail. I’ve done marathons, brutal training sessions, and long endurance days, but thi...

I’m checking in from the stunning mountain town of Namche Bazaar , and wow, what a place. It’s full of cafés, shops, and even nightclubs, which feels kind of wild this high up. We had an acclimatization day yesterday, which s...

Hey friends! I’m recording from MHA Bizarre , 3,400 meters above sea level, so if I sound a little breathless… well, that’s why. 😅 Day one and two were epic. We flew into Lukla Airport in Nepal, often called one of the world’...

I’m recording this from Kathmandu — my last night before the trek begins! 🏔️ It’s Friday afternoon, the bags are (mostly) packed, and I’ve just wrapped up our group briefing with Matt Stewart from Experience Not Felt Possible...
