Tim Guinea, Founder and Managing Director of AAMG
I've known Leanne and worked with her for quite a few years now, but now we are both, I would say disruptors in the new world of business owners.
At AAMG, we engage Leanne to help out as our business grows, with strategy, workshops, in particular, the Sentient approach and it’s sensational.
The team still talk about what we did and we still focus on the outcomes.
It drives everything we do, every day.
If you want support in your business, around OD, or strategy or growth, get in touch with Leanne because she's just awesome.

Tim Taylor, NORTEC
The challenge for our business was to greatly improve the consistency of our service across the 30 locations from which we operate. Leanne was able to help us break down the myths and distill opinions from facts. Our team developed a more common understanding of each other, our priorities and a plan to refresh a number of critical processes.
I was pleasantly surprised by the support for change which came through Leanne’s unique style, methodology and ability to help us confront the elephant in the room in a way that ensured everyone present was critical to our success.
I would recommend Leanne to any organization who will benefit from having a more engaged leadership team who are embarking on a change or require a shift in performance or culture to achieve next-level success

Roshika Akhil, Department of Housing and Public Works
Leanne helped us workshop a large body of strategic work that would set priorities for our organisation over the next 12 months. Her key contribution was to help us unpack the topics and successfully develop a session engage over 100 staff across a very large department and regional spread by providing an interactive and immersive environment.
Leanne explored with staff why the power of connection and relationships are the most powerful way to get your job done and applied practical tools, systems and ideas around relationships and communication, to their day to day work life. Thank you for your assistance along the way Leanne your input helped make our annual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Staff forum the best one yet.

“I had the absolute pleasure of attending a talk on online facilitation given by Leanne. This lady is one of the best facilitators I have ever had the privilege of watching!
I had pages of notes and today I had the opportunity to use one of the tips from her talk with a client - the client's comment was: Ooh! I've never seen anyone do something like that - I love it!! Thanks Leanne for adding to my toolkit.”

The results we got from engaging Leanne are so many, and too many to list here but highlights are in chronological order:
- A large number of employees signed up, unprecedented attendance levels (very few no-shows)
- Engaged trainees, effort made on ‘homework’ between workshops, increased energy and confidence noted during the 2nd session
- Several trainees gushing about the experience, spreading the learning with their colleagues
- Many SMEs continue to be engaged and are making much improved progress using the tips and tricks they’d learned

“Leanne is vivacious, tenacious and her energy is totally infectious.
Her virtual presentation for the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa was titled “How Do You Do That?” and she 100% delivered.
Leanne showcased over a dozen virtual facilitation ideas and the take home value was immediate. So many delegates have already reported making use of the ideas and shifting the way they present online as a result.
Leanne, you were a smash hit and your enthusiasm and love for your craft really shows. You were the consummate professional. I would highly recommend you for any audience, live or virtual.”
