Bio
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.

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. We are honoured to have been chosen to work with Victoria Police to facilitate "Safe Workplaces, Great Workplaces": the Brash Consulting mission.

In this role, I provided consulting services to Executive and Senior Management and devised innovative learning and development solutions. I designed and delivered a suite of award-winning modules in managing performance under a new federal unfair dismissals regime and discrimination and harassment training which were key deliverables in a culture shakeup at the Bank following Australia's biggest case of gender discrimination until the uproar involving Kristy Fraser-Kirk and David Jones.
