Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/11/21

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. Her book Free Time isn’t theory, it’s lived experience. Hearing her break down nonlinear breakthroughs, the pressure to niche, the trap of constant productivity, and how she’s built a wildly successful brand without touching social media was a wake-up call.I particularly loved

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 fixed lines in the dark filled me with so much pride and relief.A few of us stayed back, and with partners and loved ones up there, the waiting felt long. But everyone’s safe, and now they’re making their way down toward us. I can’t wait to see them.Meanwhile, I’m finally slowing

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/11/18

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 enormous, equal parts thrill, fear, and sheer determination. Today’s episode dives into the mental and physical preparation for the climb, and the emotional highs and lows that come with high-altitude adventure.I chat with Matt Stewart about what it’s really like at high camp,

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 them out on the fly, and the little victories that came with learning how to use them properly. Spoiler: I looked like a baby giraffe stumbling around!Along the way, I realized that these lessons on ice aren’t just for mountaineering—they translate surprisingly well to life and

2025/11/16

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 altitude, and finding small ways to refresh your day even when resources are limited.From icy tracks that demanded every ounce of focus to passing a memorial for trekkers who never made it back, I reflect on what really matters on the trail. I talk about the little victories,

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/11/15

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 team actually needs. Steph shared what she learned during her accreditation, including how a coach intervenes with questions (not directives), works with the team in situ, and helps teams build the vocabulary to talk about tension, purpose, decision-making, and accountability in

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 “Mr. Toastmaster.” He’s a speaker, MC, PowerPoint strategist, and all-round presentation geek who loves helping people communicate more clearly and confidently.In this episode, we dive into the art and science of PowerPoint—why “death by PowerPoint” isn’t the software’s fault, and

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/11/13

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 on zero sleep, and somehow joining the 5,000 Meter Club after a three-hour climb straight uphill.From steep trails to thin air to the kind of exhaustion that makes you question all of your life choices, I share what it’s really like to trek in the Himalayas when your body is

🌴317. Breakdown

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/11/12

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 this felt different. It wasn’t the altitude or the terrain that got me. It was this strange, overwhelming wave of exhaustion that left me sitting on a rock, crying for the first time mid-hike. It caught me completely off guard.In this episode, I share what it felt like to disconnect

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 sounds chill… but it was definitely not. Every step uphill was a challenge, but when I reached the top and saw Mount Everest for the first time, it honestly took my breath away in more ways than one.Afterward, I treated myself to a massage, a hair wash, and even wood-fired pizza,

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’s most dangerous airports due to its short runway, steep drop‑off, and mountain terrain. The views of the Himalayas were absolutely breathtaking. From the airport, we hiked nine kilometers over uneven terrain and windy conditions to our tea house. Hiking poles were lifesavers,

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/11/08

I loved this conversation with Andrew Tarvin—the world’s first “humor engineer.” Andrew trained as a computer science engineer, worked at Procter & Gamble as an IT project manager, and then discovered a powerful truth: you can’t be efficient with humans; you have to be effective. He started sneaking tiny moments of humor into meetings and emails and watched engagement, memory, and relationships skyrocket. Today he runs Humor That Works, helping teams use humor deliberately to get better results

I loved this conversation with my former WA colleague, Sherell Whitney—facilitator, inventor, and founder of Lift Performance Solutions. Sherell has hopped across industries (law, tourism, health, consulting) and brings that breadth to the room. We dig into how to create a genuinely safe training environment fast, why those first three minutes matter so much, what to pack in your “Mary Poppins” facilitation bag, and how to respond when tricky behaviors show up. We also explore team roles (Belbin),

Hey friends, checking in from Camp Manji after a few hours of sleep. Before Nepal, a quick rewind to Brisbane Airport where I met Tim, Benjamin, and Renee — total legends. Benjamin joked about the old two-prong airplane headphones and said, “Everyone’s talking about AI taking over the world, but we still have these!”That line made me think of something my friend Julian Ma once said: “The more change we have, the more familiarity we crave.” It hit me mid-flight as I watched Ace Ventura instead of

🌴307. Slow Down, Leanne

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/11/02

This week, I share a story that made me quite literally stop in my tracks — and pay attention. It started as a beautiful morning: coffee by the river with my friend Bhan, wearing her book as my workout accessory, feeling on top of the world. Then I checked my PO box and found two things: a new book (The Art of the Ignorable Email by David Pullan) and… a $2,500 speeding fine from the Queensland Revenue Service.Yep, $2,500 for doing 81 in a 70 zone. I don’t speed. I don’t condone speeding. But
