Team Dynamicist
Storyteller. Team Dynamicist. Straight-Talker.
Leanne Hardinge
I don’t do corporate fluff, and I don’t do quick fixes. I help businesses and leaders build strong, people-focused cultures that last.
For over 30 years, I’ve worked across industries—from social enterprises to major businesses—helping leaders unlock their potential, create thriving teams, and get the right people in the right place, at the right time.
What makes me different? I use:
Storytelling & analogies to simplify complex problems
Conversational sports to make team dynamics make sense
Hands-on, immersive consulting—because real change happens when you’re in the thick of it
If you’re looking for a speaker, mentor, or consultant who cuts through the noise, let’s talk.
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid”
- Albert Einstein

What is a Team Dynamicist?
A Team Dynamicist isn’t just a leadership coach or culture consultant—they’re someone who understands, dissects, and transforms the way teams interact, perform, and thrive. For me, being a Team Dynamicist means:
Uncovering the hidden dynamics that shape a team’s culture, collaboration, and success.
Spotting the friction points that hold teams back—whether it’s poor communication, fear-based leadership, or misaligned strengths.
Creating real change by helping teams and leaders understand their behaviours, reactions, and potential
Much like a scientist studies chaos, energy, and flow, I analyse the pulse of a team—its strengths, challenges, and how people work together. My job is to decode these patterns and help teams move from friction to flow, from stress to strength, and from surviving to thriving. Leadership isn’t just about individuals—it’s about how the whole system works together. That’s what a Team Dynamicist does: they see the bigger picture, fine-tune the details, and create workplaces where teams don’t just function—they flourish.

The Leanne Hardinge Approach
Leadership, Culture & Impact
I don’t believe in overcomplicated leadership models or corporate buzzwords. I believe in real conversations, straight-talking leadership, and strategies that work in the real world.
At the heart of everything I do is a belief in people. Their strengths, their potential, and their ability to create extraordinary impact when given the right environment to thrive.
leanne hardinge believes
I believe in:
A strengths-based approach—because when we focus on what people do best, they bring their best.
Leadership that inspires willing action—real leadership isn’t about control; it’s about empowerment, trust, and vision.
Developing and utilising the skills of every individual—because untapped potential is a missed opportunity.
Diversity as a strength—strong teams aren’t built on sameness; they’re built on unique perspectives and experiences.
Equality of opportunity—everyone deserves a fair shot at success.
Culture Drives Performance
Within our framework, we know:
People are your greatest asset—not strategies, not processes, but the people who bring them to life.
An empowered workforce is a productive workforce—when people feel valued, supported, and heard, they step up and deliver.
The way we treat others affects their well-being—leadership isn’t just about results; it’s about building a culture that supports mental health, resilience, and collaboration.
A healthy culture is a productive culture—when teams trust, communicate, and thrive, businesses see results.
