Lisa McInnes-Smith CSP, CPAE

I watched Leanne emcee our special awards night for Professional Speakers Australia - PSA. She did an excellent job; very professional, very classy, and yet lots of fun. She brings a lot of heart to whatever she does. She was very good at tag teaming as well as doing impromptu pieces to make the evening flow. She is a delight to work with and a joy to watch on stage. I highly recommend her work.

Oliver Whitehead

      Brash Consulting is one of a small number of panellists approved to provide services in this critical space for Victoria Police. Regrettably, occupational stress is endemic to the role of operational policing but the the stress for sworn and unsworn members associated with the dynamics and culture of an organisation is not.
