The Real Work Co.

We help you cut through the noise, to get clear on what truly drives you, and turn that insight into meaningful action.

Whether you’re navigating complexity, growing as a leader, or figuring out what’s next—we’re in your corner to help you move forward with purpose.

We believe great teams are built through everyday interactions—and trust is at the core of every high-performing team.

Our approach strengthens the relationships that matter most by embedding trust-building directly into how your team collaborates, communicates, and makes decisions—right in the flow of work.

Leadership development should feel practical and grounded in real experience—not just theory. We design learning around your everyday moments—the conversations, challenges, and decisions that shape your leadership.

Our approach integrates what you do with how you do it. It’s not about stepping away from the work to learn, but learning through the work itself.

“Liana delivered an exceptional workshop for our senior leadership team, demonstrating remarkable insight into our organisational context whilst maintaining the flexibility to adapt to our specific needs.

Her positive and constructive coaching approach guided us skilfully through the process of refocusing on our values. Thanks to her expertise, we have successfully reshaped our values and built a stronger, more cohesive team around them.

I would highly recommend Liana to any organisation seeking to realign their team with their core values”

Anna Chauvel
Director, Place Lab

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Liana over a number of years in a range of capacities – as a facilitator, coach and consultant. Regardless of the capacity, Liana has an excellent disposition with the perfect balance of challenging, allowing health conflicts to emerge, whilst still putting organisations and people at ease.

Through the support of Liana’s work as a consultant and facilitator, our organisation achieved a dramatic shift and improvement to our cultural indicators using the Organisational Culture Inventory tool.

Liana has the flexibility, skills and experience to work very effectively across a range of roles and organisations and I would not hesitate in working with her again”

Michele Lewis
HR Manager, FSANZ

"Liana has a remarkable ability to quickly and easily connect, and truly understand people. She listens with intent and guides the conversation in a constructive and thoughtful way.

Her depth of experience in human behaviour and thinking styles is clear, and her feedback is always insightful and practical."

Jason Agars
General Manager, DFL

"Liana takes the time to deeply understand the business context, operating environment, and the leaders within it. She asks the right questions—thoughtful, deep, and often challenging—to uncover the root causes of team and business challenges. This allows her to design strategic capability programs that don’t just sound good on paper but translate into real, action-based learning with tangible outcomes.

She creates a safe and supportive space for leadership teams to engage in deep, meaningful transformation together.

As a long-term client, I am consistently impressed by the speed and quality of the transformation she facilitates. Her ability to bridge strategy and execution has had a lasting impact on our business, and I am deeply grateful for her work."
