How We Work

Passions-n-Profits is a strengths-based consulting business led by Leanne Hardinge and born out of her desire to help existing and future leaders harness the passions and strengths of their people.
Leanne works with leaders and their teams to build the skills, confidence and resilience that create a healthy workplace culture while successfully building the bottom line.
Using storytelling, creative analogies and what she likes to call “conversational sports”, Leanne improves culture and communication while helping teams and their leaders understand and minimise the fear-based reactions that contribute to wellness issues at work.

Understanding strengths to unlock greater performance

Strength based coaching provides a framework that empowers individuals to build awareness and confidence in their strengths, while offering powerful insights to support improvements in communication and team effectiveness.


Our approach enables leaders across all levels of the organisation to maximise their strengths and identify strategies to improve their confidence, engagement, agility and well-being.


Through our programs, workshops, and key-note speakers, we help rebuild communication pathways to create workplace cultures that encourage - not discourage - open and honest feedback. 




We help leaders and teams to:


  • say what they need to say, and see what they need to see.


  • understand how they communicate and the impact this has on productivity, performance and wellbeing.


  • uncover team strengths and create a strengths-based culture where things get done


  • create a clear vision and ways of working that promotes engagement and leverages team strengths


  • develop greater positivity, wellbeing and balance in work and life.


"What great leaders have in common is that each truly knows his or her strengths - and can call on the right strength at the right time."

- Tim Rath

Conversational Sports

Good, non-threatening communication in and across teams is a key to a good work culture as well as efficiency. 
Using the rules of sport as a metaphor we teach you and your team how to play by the rules or to be a spectator, coach or umpire as appropriate, creating a collegiate space that builds trust and engagement.

Storytelling

Storytelling was the original way we transferred history, knowledge and learnings. It has the power to embed change, align beliefs, build cultures and inspire action. 


Using analogies and the power of stories we help you embed lessons and learnings and create behavioural change.

Using the humble Frilled-neck Lizard as  an analogy we show how our Lizard Brain drives inappropriate, fear-based behaviour in the workplace and give you and your team the skills to recognise when this is happening and to take appropriate action.

What people have to say about working with Leanne

Chris Arts
When I worked with Leanne, her enthusiasm and positivity was very contagious. She always had great solutions and ideas to implement to make work more pleasant and productive. Her support was always there.
Rosie Khan
Social Impact Program Manager

In my experience, great leaders (the whole package) are rare. Leanne is one of those leaders. There are only two other leaders on my list.  Leanne mentored and empowered me to follow my career goals by providing me with the opportunities and challenges that would expand my knowledge, capabilities, and future work prospects. The experience was critical in the next few steps I took as a leader and the subsequent opportunities which followed. I’ve always admired Leanne’s passion for people and leading with her heart – not just with her intellect. 

Patricia Siller 
Leanne has an exceptional way to connect with you sharing her experience leading teams and understanding the way to influence your surroundings in order to achieve results. Besides her knowledge and experience, she has an amazing humor so you will not only learn but have a good time. I totally recommend working with her and using her resources as you will be able to make quick effective action in order to see results you have been looking for
Mark Robinson
Podiatrist
It was a breath of fresh air to work with Leanne whose unique approach to leadership was inspiring. My experience with Leanne allowed me to improve my own work style making me an overall better clinician and in turn I now provide a better service to my patients

Imagine a work environment that fosters understanding, and diversity to improve performance, shape futures and enrich lives. All working as one team, appreciating and utilising each other's skills, experience and passions. Imagine the impact on profits.
