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...

This one’s been simmering in my head all week—after so many convos about accountability, ownership, and what it really means to step up , whether you're running a business or just starting your career. We talk a lot about "ac...

In this episode, I take you back to 2009—before podcasting, before The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint , before I had even thought about creating a business. This was the year I made my first ever passive income sale . It was $18.9...

Okay, I need to share something wild with you. I uploaded my book The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint into Google LM Notebook (think: a tool like ChatGPT), and asked it to summarise the key concepts. What it gave me? Not just a sum...

Tonight, I’m not under the lights for footy or cricket. I’m at the Gabba — sleeping out under the stars with some phenomenal humans — all to help stamp out homelessness as part of the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. In this episode, I ...

Absolute blast from the past! I'm diving back into 2020 with this gem: A replay of a webinar I co-hosted with my friend (and innovation guru) Joeri Schilders, who you might remember from his previous appearances on the show. ...

When I first started facilitating, I saw flip charts as a tool to scribble brainstorms or sketch a quick model. That all changed when I met today's guest, Marcel van Hove , who showed me how whiteboards and markers can be use...

Hey friends, welcome back to Leanne on Demand ! If you’re listening in real time, it’s Friday and I’ve (hopefully!) just arrived home after sleeping out in the cold for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout — I’ll debrief all of that with...

Hey hey! This one’s a little different—recorded from the passenger seat, not the studio, because we’re fresh off the Red Carpet Campout and I wanted to capture the vibe in real-time. I'm joined by my co-host, the always-thoug...

Hey there! I'm currently off-grid at the Red Carpet Campout (yep, the forecast says -4°C 🥶), so today I’m sharing something from my WorkFame newsletter that’s been getting a great response. This episode is based on my article...

Welcome back to part two of my mini-series on Nine Powerful Ways to Get Buy-In — tactics I really wish I knew when I first started working on cross-functional projects in big, global companies. Last week, we covered the first...

This Weekend Rewind takes you back to a rich, practical, laugh-filled conversation with the incredible David Pullin — founder of The Story Spotters , former NIDA grad, professional actor, voice artist, and an absolute legend ...

Welcome to this Weekend Rewind edition of Talk the Walk — where coffee meets conversation and martinis mix with mindset shifts. In this episode, we explore a bold (and slightly cheeky) question: Can you really get paid to be ...

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...
