Leanne Spencer is an award-winning speaker and a leading voice on integrating wellbeing into high performance cultures. With over 13 years experience and more than 1,000 presentations delivered, she brings deep expertise to every stage.

Leanne has delivered a TEDx talk with over 134,000 views, authored four bestselling books including Cadence, a finalist in the Business Book Awards, and was Highly Commended at the Speaker Awards in 2023.

Through her signature keynotes – Cadence, BOND and Sustain – Leanne shows audiences how to achieve sustainable performance by managing energy, strengthening connection and building personal resilience.

A former corporate leader with over 15 years in the City of London, Leanne knows first-hand the pressure of high-performance environments. After experiencing burnout herself, she left the corporate world to found an award-winning wellbeing company and now shares her powerful story and proven strategies with audiences around the world.

Leanneโ€™s signature methodology, The Cadence Approachโ„ข, draws inspiration from elite athletes and encourages professionals to think of themselves as ‘business athletes’ โ€“ learning to manage energy, adapt to change and thrive under pressure. Her approach is practical, engaging and designed to make a lasting impact.

Sheโ€™s the bestselling author of three books, host of a wellbeing podcast and a Bear Grylls Survival Instructor. Leanne has been recognised as Speaker of the Year, Highly Commended in the London Speaker Awards, and her latest book Cadence was Highly Commended at the Business Book Awards.

Leanneโ€™s work centres around helping organisations and individuals achieve high performance without compromising wellbeing.
Her three core keynotes โ€“ Cadence, BOND and Sustain โ€“ provide a powerful framework for lasting success. Cadence explores how to manage energy, build resilience and prevent burnout by adopting the mindset of a business athlete. BOND highlights the crucial role of human connection in fostering trust, belonging and collaboration. Sustain bridges the gap between knowing and doing, showing audiences how to embed meaningful habits through values, identity, community and resources.
Together, these talks empower audiences to perform sustainably, thrive under pressure and maintain balance in an ever-changing world.

Book Leanne Spencer

Featured topics include

BOND is about the importance of social relationships and human connection for wellbeing, both professionally and personally. We are hardwired to connect, and yet many environments erode trust and belonging. I help audiences rediscover the performance and wellbeing benefits of meaningful relationships.

Outcomes include:

ยท Improve stress resilience of your teams

ยท Promote a culture of increased trust and belonging

ยท Improve communication and collaboration

ยท Drive productivity through improved psychological safety

Cadence addresses the relentless pace of modern work. I encourage people to think of themselves as business athletes, to manage energy not just time, and to build rhythms that enable sustained performance.

Outcomes include:

ยท Better handle stress

ยท Develop resilience

ยท Reduce risk of burnout

ยท Promote better recovery

ยท Retain high energy levels

Sustain tackles the gap between knowing and doing. We know how to be well, but we do not always act on it. I show audiences how to embed long term habits through four powerful levers: values, identity, community and resources. This is the foundation for personal sustainability and for showing up fully when it counts.

Outcomes include:

ยท Overcome barriers to change by connecting to values and identity

ยท Overcome the sense of guilt many people have about prioritising wellbeing

ยท Learn to deal with the fast pace of change that has become the new normal

ยท Develop the tools and mindset required to thrive in a high-performance culture

It was great to collaborate with Leanne at our Summer event. Leanne is straightforward to work with, she ensured we had ample time pre-event to connect so she could understand the objectives of the day, and how they would relate to the keynote speech on the Cadence Approach.

Our teams were positive, in that they could underpin our key business drivers with a great message around personal energy, high performance, and overall well-being. Leanne was super easy on the day, and we appreciated that she made time chat to with people informally over lunch. Thank you!
