“We never wanted this to be a dry, boring, academic podcast, so we do things a little differently.”
Leanne Elliott - the employee expert.
Leanne is a fully-qualified Business Psychologist, with over 14 years' experience of developing high-performance cultures in leading private and public organisations, including the NHS, Department of Work & Pensions, Pinnacle People and Arielle Executive.
Al Elliott - definitely not an expert.
For the last 20+ years, Al (Leanne's husband) has been an owner-leader of multiple businesses, and has vast experience in clarifying objectives and thinking creatively about processes for organisations like Salford Council & FC Utd, and has been featured on both BBC News & in the Financial Times.
Each episode, Al asks Leanne tough questions not only about the science of people, but how this can be practically applied to your business or organisation.
