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! 👍

Simplifying the weekend

💎 WellBeing Champion | ESG Leader | Business Connector | Linkedin Top 250 influencer |

Welcome, I'm Reena Strehle — a passionate advocate for workplace wellbeing, sustainable leadership, and purpose-driven business.

 My journey has been rooted in one guiding principle: when people and planet thrive, business does too.

As a WellBeing Champion and ESG Leader, I support organisations in aligning their operations with the values of equity, sustainability, and human-centric leadership.

 I work hands-on with teams, leaders, and communities to spark real conversations and drive meaningful change from the inside out.

One of the most overlooked yet powerful keys to optimal health and performance is inflammation — the root cause behind many of today’s lifestyle-related challenges. I help people identify and manage it through a simple dry blood test backed by European Food Safety Authority-approved science. It’s called the Zinzino BalanceTest, and the results are eye-opening. It’s quick, non-invasive, and reveals your body's real balance between omega-6 and omega-3 — a crucial indicator of your long-term health.
If you're tired of guessing and ready to take control of your wellbeing at a cellular level, let’s talk. I’m here to guide you — whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to feel and perform better every day.

Recognised as a LinkedIn Top 250 Influencer, I also use my platform to spotlight changemakers, amplify ESG innovation, and share actionable insights that inspire better business practices.

And above all, I’m a connector at heart. With an extensive and diverse global network, I love bringing like-minded leaders, founders, and thinkers together — because the best ideas (and opportunities) are born from collaboration.

Wishing you a successful and productive day!

Looking forward to speaking to you real soon.

In today’s rapidly changing world, leadership demands more than just strategy, it calls for fearlessness, kindness, and connection.

True leadership is about embracing uncertainty with courage, making tough decisions with empathy, and inspiring others through authentic human connection. 

When leaders lead with heart as well as head, they create resilient teams that thrive amid challenge.

Let’s champion a leadership style that is brave, compassionate, and deeply human. Because it’s in those moments of uncertainty that we discover our greatest strength.

Great content. Nobody reads it.

Think about walking through a crowded market.

Hundreds of vendors calling out. Each one trying to grab your attention.

You tune out the noise. Keep walking. Until one voice says exactly what you need to hear.

You stop.

Your LinkedIn feed works the same way.

People scroll past dozens of posts every minute. Even good ones.

Your hook is that one voice that makes them stop.

Here's what actually works:

✅ Keep it short. 3-5 words maximum. "I fired my biggest client." Not "Let me tell you about the time I had to make a difficult decision."

✅ Create pattern interrupt. Say something unexpected. "Busy means broke." Not "Here are 5 productivity tips."

✅ State reality directly. What IS, not what isn't. "Perception drives pricing." Not "It's not about price, it's about perception."

That's it. Short. Unexpected. Direct.

The posts getting read aren't more clever. They just stop the scroll in the first line.

Everything else you write is brilliant. But if the hook fails, nobody sees it.

Three seconds to stop them. Or they're gone.

Jack AM Austin and I created a guide on writing hooks that convert scrollers into readers. Comment "HOOKS" and we'll send it over. Follow him for daily LinkedIn tips.

Your outreach gets ignored.

Think about your inbox right now.

Dozens of messages. Most trying to sell you something. Or asking for "just 15 minutes."

You delete without reading.

Your prospects do the same thing.

The messages that get replies aren't better written. They're fundamentally different.

Here's what actually works:

Show genuine interest in them. Not their job title. Not their company. What they actually care about.

Ask one simple question. Something they'd enjoy answering. Something that takes 30 seconds.

Make it about them. Not your offer. Not your framework. Just curiosity about their work.

Example:

"Hi Sarah, building financial models in 4 weeks. That's quick.

What part of that process do you enjoy most?"

No pitch. No compliment. Just noticing something specific and asking about it warmly.

The difference between 5% and 50% response rates isn't your pitch. It's whether you sound like a human who's genuinely interested.

Most outreach fails because it's an interview disguised as a conversation. Or a sales pitch disguised as curiosity.

Real interest gets real replies.

Jack AM Austin and I wrote the DM-to-call guide for when they respond. Comment "GUIDE" and we'll send it over.

Stop writing posts daily.

Think about meal prep. You don't cook dinner 30 times a month.
You spend 2 hours on Sunday. Done for the week.
Content works the same way.

Most people open LinkedIn, stare at a blank screen, and post nothing.
Then repeat tomorrow.

Here's what actually works:
✅ Block 90 minutes. One sitting.

✅ Pick one topic from your work this week. 
It could be a client breakthrough or something you explained three times.

✅ Write down 5 questions people ask about it. 
Each question becomes a post.

✅ Add your answer. What you'd say on a call.
That's 5 posts in 30 minutes.

✅ Repeat with two more topics. 15 posts total.
Schedule them. Your month is done.

The difference between people who post daily and people who stress daily? 

They batch.

One focused session beats 30 scattered attempts.
90 minutes once. Not 15 minutes 30 times.

Jack AM Austin and I created the guide on content that converts. 

Comment "GUIDE" and we'll send it over.
