PIVOT FACILITATORS

Leanne Hughes

Leanne Hughes is an international facilitator, trusted advisor and speaker who loves creating unpredictable workshop experiences, that predictably work.

Leanne combines her experience in marketing, her passion for group dynamics, with her education in psychology, to help leaders dramatically improve their project teams' performance.

Based in Brisbane, Australia, Leanne has partnered with organisations all around the world (in-person and virtual) including Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea and Singapore and believes in a strengths-centred approach to learning and development. She has over 14 years of experience across a range of industries including mining, government and tourism.

Leanne is the host of the First Time Facilitator podcast and is a winner of the 2021 Asia Pacific Institute for Learning and Performance - Learning Professional of the Year (external). She is part of the inaugural group of Certified Pivot Facilitators, and has been teaching the material since the book’s debut in 2016. Audiences love her warm, engaging, thought-provoking approach and leave feeling inspired and empowered with practical action steps.

Leanne is vivacious, tenacious and her energy is totally infectious.

Her virtual presentation for the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa delivered immediate value. So many delegates have already reported making use of the ideas and shifting the way they present online as a result.

Leanne was a smash hit, and her enthusiasm and love for her craft shows; the consummate professional. I would highly recommend her for any audience, live or virtual.”
