Sales Psychology Strategist | Top 20 Women in Business 2023 | Use the power of Psychology & Neuroscience to unlock sticky sales in 90 days | Author | Harvard Graduate | Discover more in my FEATURED section below ⬇️

Hello, I'm Leanne Elich, a Sales Psychology Strategist and Neuroscientist, Leadership Advisor, Author and Speaker. The CEO of Leanne Elich Consulting, a consulting and advisory firm specialising in ethical, human-centred sales strategies, business systems, processes & practices. We are on a mission to educate, develop and support exceptional businesses to understand the rich intersection of neuroscience and behavioural science with business. A powerful combination transforming businesses faster than thought possible.

Often described as an unshakeable optimist, I believe in a bright future and our ability to build it together, one brain at a time.
Captivated by the people and organisations that make the greatest and longest-lasting impact, my work has uncovered remarkable patterns in how people think, behave, and communicate in the environments where they operate at their best.

With a PhD in Cognitive Neuropsychology and a graduate of Harvard Business School and Harvard Medical School, I am considered a sought after expert in bridging the gap between science and business.

In 2023, I was thrilled to be awarded the 2023 Top 20 Women in Business and in 2024, I was honoured with the title of Master Neuroplastician by the Institute of Organizational Neuroscience.
My mission is simple but profound: Changing business, one brain at a time.

My passion for medicine sparked at age 5 when I was given the game Operation as a gift. I would recruit friends and family to be my patients.

My ambition to enter the medical industry propelled me from high school to university. I graduated from the University of Sydney and specialised in Radiation Oncology.

I worked clinically at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre and other global institutions. Motivated to take my career to the next level, I transitioned into commercial medicine and business development, which took me around the world.

In 2018, I launched Leanne Elich Consulting. We work closely with clients and offer a range of bespoke consulting, business, and executive coaching services in sales, marketing, leadership, and strategic management.

I love sharing knowledge, so I regularly contribute to local and national media outlets, including ABC Radio and the Sydney Morning Herald. I am also an honorary clinical fellow at the Queensland University of Technology, an international Keynote speaker and a Women in Leadership advisor.

Let's connect and explore how we can build a brighter future together, one brain at a time.

FRIDAY FUN FACTS 🤡
Did you know...that using “productised” booking modules on your website can make a big difference? They’re likely to boost your conversions and keep your customers happy compared to those open-ended inquiry forms!

Why does this happen? 🧠
It’s all about making things easier! When you have a booking module with set options, potential customers can quickly see what works for them. It saves them the hassle of explaining their needs or problems in detail. Plus, if they have complex questions, they can easily schedule a call without filling out long forms first.

Not only does this approach increase the chances of bookings, but it also helps set clear expectations. When people know what to expect, they’re more likely to be satisfied with your service! 👍

Wrest Point Casino Hotel is the first Casino opened in Australia.

Within the Hobart landscape, it is a tourist icon and offers up to 4.5 Star Accommodation with a variety of Restaurants, Bars, Gaming and Entertainment facilities.

In this Executive role, I was responsible for the Casino’s marketing function.  The key was to maximise the value and output of the company’s marketing teams and provide specialist advice to directors and senior executives.

I built a very strong Marketing Team that delivered key outcomes including highly profitable Gaming Promotions, Driving Accommodation & Bookings, Improving Customer Satisfaction and Creation of a Customer Service Culture.  I also delivered a successful 10% cost-down in the Marketing Budget while achieving revenue targets.

Marketing Director

It was a great place to work post my Military & Policing experience and a big thank you to a great international company!
