🌓157. Chat coming in hot

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 the chat. So how do you respond when the comments start rolling in…

🌓156. Clarity isn't found, it's chosen

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 Live—how he wrote it in his journal, non-negotiable, and…

🌓155. #Rant Just because you worked hard doesn’t mean it’s worth more

You’ve probably seen this post floating around. It goes something like: ā€œIf 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.ā€ Now, I used to agree with that... But these days? It…

🌓154. What did you obsess over at 13?

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. Creating connection through voice. What’s funny is that I just made the…

🌓153. 4 words I said that triggered her

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 using this episode to reflect, recalibrate, and hopefully help…

🌓152. Redefining team building feat. Andy Balzat (Weekend Rewind)

This week’s rewind is extra special because I just spent Wednesday night hanging out with Andy Balzat and the incredible Banana Life (https://bananalife.com.au/) team at one of their signature games nights in Brisbane. So, I thought: What better time to bring back this brilliant conversation? Picture this: Whitney Houston’s I…

🌓151. Running a global empire without a team feat. Alan Weiss (Weekend Rewind)

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? Alan says no. Emphatically. And…

🌓150. How I host a live show

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 to share with you is a little behind-the-scenes…

🌓149. Screaming chickens

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. It’s about the look. More specifically, the Screaming Chicken decal that…

🌓148. My $500 status run

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 never heard of it, I walk you through exactly…

🌓147. Mash-ups

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-bending. And how we can apply that same creativity to our work.…

🌓146. The rise of vibe marketing and the fall of LinkedIn?

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 using AI agents to automate ā€œvibe marketing.ā€ Basically, it’s like this: You…

🌓145. Ditch the default feat. Dr Maike Neuhaus (Weekend Rewind)

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 the scenes of one of those meaty convos—except this time, you get to…

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 you tuning in daily. Today’s topic? Precision in speech. Which, if…

🌓142. Two screens, pls

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 rallied, stretched, ran a webinar for…

🌓141. 4 drivers of future-proof work

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 ahead). Forget five-year plans. I’m talking 12-month windows. That’s as…

🌓140. Leanne's obnoxious business model pyramid

In today’s episode, I’m recapping my experience speaking at the Queensland Association of Collaborative Practice’s annual conference. It was an absolute honour to be the only non-lawyer on stage. But also, it gave me a chance to bring a fresh perspective to a room of highly skilled professionals. I kick…

This weekend rewind is a special one. I'm celebrating the two-year anniversary of my first real book — The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint. (Yes, I did write a netball coaching manual back in the day, šŸ˜„). To mark the occasion, I’m replaying a juicy interview I did with Jessica Mudditt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicamudditt/)…

🌓137. What travel teaches you about courage feat. Ryan So Fly (Weekend Rewind)

I decided to re-release this conversation because earlier this week, I joined Ryan So Fly's (https://www.youtube.com/@ryansofly) YouTube creator community (only $5/month — well worth it), and it reminded me just how brilliant this chat was. Ryan So Fly is one of my favourite travel YouTubers. He’s funny, honest, insightful, and…
