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! 👍

Business Growth Mindset

At the Business Growth Mindset we help business owners and c-suite executives flourish and grow. 

We work with highly driven top performers to create meaningful change that impact their business and life through mastering a growth mindset and implementing systems and processes that support scaling.

By applying core principles, you can eliminate many business related frustrations.  You can have great employees who share your vision, communicate with one another, demonstrate accountability and solve problems. You will not only create a business that runs seamlessly, but you will also grow your business.

This is for anyone who wants more freedom, more time and more control.

Business and Growth Advisor

We help businesses go from good to great by (structuring your "fruit salad brain", so you can see your path clearly and predictably) creating market dominating, competitor crushing strategies. We help you and your team be accountable so they can execute and deliver on time.

Most business owners succumb to three problems when running their business.

🤦‍♀️ Uncertainty and Rudderless
🤦 Stagnation
🤦🏾‍♀️ Dependency on self (key Person Risk)

These three problems lead to distraction, procrastination and confusion which means the circumstances begin to govern your outcomes when in fact it’s the decisions you make that determine your outcome not the circumstances you are in.

Having been involved in 80 ventures I discovered that failure and success leave clues. For a business to succeed and create freedom for you the owner it requires…

👉 Strategy - Focus, clarity and direction
🙋‍♀️ Performance and Results
📚 Education and Accountability

Once you master these three areas you will achieve predictable results.

We created Growth School on the countless lessons I learned along both the practitioner and academic  journey and evolved the program from the lessons learned from our clients.

Our community are empowered, caring and driven business owners.

Growth School

This is much more than a course it's an all in sales and marketing coaching program for business owners wanting to grow their business to $1M in revenue.  Customers On Demand provides you with the power of a structured, strategic approach to your business growth—one that transforms leads into revenue and revenue into long-term success.

At its core, this program is about building you a sustainable, scalable system for attracting, converting, and closing high-quality leads. It strips away your guesswork, the trial-and-error, and the feast-or-famine cycle that you struggle with, replacing it with a proven blueprint for your consistent business growth.

Key Transformations You Will Experience:

👉 Clarity Over Chaos: Instead of chasing random marketing tactics, you will learn how to implement a lead-generation system that delivers results.

👉 Control Over Revenue: By mastering sales funnels, messaging, and direct outreach, you’ll no longer rely on luck or referrals—you’ll create predictable income.

👉 Confidence in Selling: Selling will no longer feel like an awkward or pushy process for you. You will develop the skills to guide prospects seamlessly from interest to investment.

👉 A Business That Works for You: Instead of being trapped in the cycle of inconsistent cash flow, you will build a machine that generates leads and revenue—on demand.

👉 Mindset Mastery: Success isn’t just about tactics; it’s about cultivating the mindset of a leader who executes relentlessly and adapts strategically.

The ultimate value of this program is that it gives you a repeatable framework—one that, when followed and mastered, will allow you to generate leads, close more deals, and build a business that is profitable, predictable, and powerful.

It’s not just about making money—it’s about having control over your growth, your time, and your future.

DM me COD and we will send you the details.

Your productivity system is making you less productive. 🧠

You've got task lists, project management apps, calendar reminders, and sticky notes everywhere.

Yet you still feel overwhelmed, distracted, and like you're always forgetting something important.

Here's why: You're using your brain as a backup storage system for everything your "productivity tools" might miss.

Every unfinished task burns mental energy. Every "don't forget to..." steals focus from strategic thinking.

Your mind isn't RAM. Stop treating it like one.

This week's Business Life newsletter reveals why most productivity advice makes mental overload worse and how to actually free your mind for high-level work.

Because busy doesn't equal productive. Overwhelmed doesn't equal important.

How To Reduce Mental Overload And Regain Focus

A lot of business owners are a bunch of cowards when it comes to making hard choices.😤

The decisions you make govern your outcome, not the circumstances you find yourself in.💪

But we love to blame circumstances because it's convenient.

It's easier to say "the market's tough" than "I made poor choices."

It's easier to blame the economy than fix your strategy.

It's easier to point at external factors than look in the mirror.

Your circumstances are a result of your decisions. Change your decisions, change your outcomes. 

Follow + comment "SHIFT" if you're done blaming circumstances and ready to take full ownership of your business outcomes.

Spreading yourself thin is killing your business faster than any competitor. 🎯

You're chasing every opportunity, building multiple capabilities, and achieving mediocrity everywhere.

Jim Collins proved that great companies ignore 90% of opportunities and dominate ONE thing relentlessly.

In this week's Business Life newsletter, I reveal the three-circle framework that creates strategic clarity and breakthrough performance.

Want to learn how to stop being distracted by shiny objects and start dominating your niche?

Read the full newsletter below👇

My client just told me he's the smartest person in his company. 🧠

I said: "That's your problem."

If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

Your business can't grow beyond your personal capacity unless you bring in people who exceed it.

Stop hiring people you can control. Start hiring people who challenge you.

You don't scale by being the smartest. You scale by surrounding yourself with people smarter than you in their domains.

Every time you hire down, you limit your ceiling.

Follow + comment "UPGRADE" if you're ready to hire people smarter than you and break through your growth ceiling.

I was addicted to approval, not outcomes. 💡

For years, I thought saying "yes" was the mark of a great leader.

Yes to opportunities. Yes to clients. Yes to meetings.

My calendar was full. My head was full. My energy was gone.

A mentor called me out: "Every time you say yes to something that doesn't matter, you're saying no to something that does."

That was a turning point.

Now, every decision runs through one filter: Does it move the mission forward?

If it doesn't, it's a no - no matter how shiny it looks.

Saying no isn't rejection. It's refinement. It's how you create space for the work that actually matters.

What are you saying yes to that's killing your progress?

Follow + comment "SHIFT" if you're ready to stop saying yes to everything and start focusing on what actually moves your business forward.

Three letters separate temporary setback from permanent failure. 💡

"I can't do this" versus "I can't do this YET."

One statement ends your journey. The other extends your timeline.

Here's the neuroscience behind why adding "yet" transforms your brain's response to every obstacle.

Follow + comment "GROWTH" if you want to rewire your brain to see obstacles as opportunities for breakthrough.

How Yet Changes Your Approach To Challenges

You're building a business without knowing why, and it's killing your potential. 🎯 🚀

We all know we do this to make money, but there's got to be an underlying purpose behind it. That's your North Star.

Elon Musk's North Star? Colonise Mars. He knew that at age eight. Tesla is just a vehicle to colonise Mars. SpaceX is just a vehicle to colonise Mars.

When you follow Elon, you know exactly where he's going.

Without a North Star, you're just drifting. Building random businesses. Chasing whatever looks profitable.

With a North Star, every decision becomes clear.

What is your North Star? Follow + comment "Upgrade" if you want to discover your North Star and build a business with clear purpose and direction.

Your top performer just violated your core values again. 🚨

And you did nothing because they bring in revenue.

Here's what just happened: You told everyone else that values don't matter.
When you tolerate toxic behaviour from high performers, you destroy your culture.

I've seen companies implode protecting "star players" who poisoned the team.
Revenue doesn't give anyone permission to be toxic.

Hold everyone to the same standards.

Your culture is worth more than any single employee's contribution.

What toxic behaviour are you tolerating? 💬

You're making million-pound decisions based on gut feeling. 📊

Meanwhile, your competitor is making data-driven moves that crush you every quarter.

If you can't track it, you can't improve it.

Revenue isn't a scorecard. It's a lagging indicator of decisions you made months ago.

Build your dashboard. Track leading indicators. Review weekly.

The numbers tell you the truth your team won't.

What aren't you measuring that's costing you growth?

Follow + comment "GROWTH" if you want to start making data-driven decisions that actually grow your business.

The meeting that exposed my blind spot.

A few years ago, during a strategy workshop with my executive team, someone said something I'll never forget.

"Kristian, you're amazing at building strategy - but sometimes you forget we're human."

It was confronting.

They weren't talking about performance; they were talking about emotional intelligence.

I realised I'd been leading through intellect, not empathy.

I was brilliant at direction but terrible at connection.

That week, I started a new practice: every one-on-one started with one question -
"How are you really doing?"

Not the small talk. Not the metrics. The truth.

It changed everything.

Morale lifted. Retention skyrocketed. Results improved.

Emotional intelligence isn't soft.

It's the hard skill that keeps your best people from walking out the door.

Follow + comment "RISE" if you want to develop the emotional intelligence that keeps your best people and drives performance.

You're one word away from transforming every limitation into possibility. 💡

Fixed mindset people say "I can't" and close the door. 
Growth mindset people add three letters and open it back up.

The difference between people who achieve breakthrough and people who stay stuck? A simple linguistic shift that rewires how your brain processes challenge.

In this week's Business Life newsletter, I reveal the cognitive hack that separates persistent achievers from permanent quitters.

The Three-Letter Word That Transforms Your Growth Mindset

You achieved more this quarter than last year's entire year. 📈

But you didn't celebrate because you haven't hit your "big goal" yet.

Fixed mindset people require complete mastery before acknowledging achievement.

Growth mindset people celebrate progress along the way.

When you only celebrate the finish line, you ignore the hundred small wins that got you there.

Small wins generate confidence that fuels bigger attempts.

Stop waiting until you've "made it" to acknowledge how far you've come.
What progress are you ignoring because it's not "big enough" yet? 💬

Follow + comment "GROWTH" if you're ready to celebrate progress and build the momentum that drives breakthrough results.

Most teams aren't misaligned because of bad people - they're misaligned because of unclear priorities.

Alignment isn't a one-time meeting; it's a weekly discipline.

If your team doesn't know the top 3 company goals, you don't have a strategy problem, you have a clarity problem.

Follow + comment "RISE" if you're ready to create clarity that aligns your team and drives execution.

Every founder goes through this evolution:

1️⃣ Doer → 2️⃣ Manager → 3️⃣ Leader → 4️⃣ Coach.

Most get stuck between 2 and 3 because they can't let go.

Your business can't grow past your ability to delegate.

Follow + comment "RISE" if you're ready to evolve from manager to leader and unlock your business growth.
