Cherie CanningFOUNDER, DIRECTOR, FACILITATOR, SPEAKER + PODCAST HOST
Cherie's passion lies in inspiring people to achieve their potential by developing their 'human skills'.
Cherie Canning is a passionate optimist, an avid traveller and the Founder and Director of Luminate Leadership.
With two decades of leading and developing leaders at Luminate and previously at Flight Centre Travel Group, Cherie is passionate about people and their growth. Her authentic communication style and engaging workshop content continue to deliver results and leave a lasting impact.
When Cherie and her husband Andy were thrown a COVID redundancy curve ball in 2020, it was time for the next chapter in their careers. There was not a doubt in Cherie's mind about the kind of work she wanted to do; it was to speak and facilitate workshops to inspire and influence the development of leaders.
After searching the job market for the ideal role, she decided to stop waiting for someone else to take a chance on her, and instead decided to take a chance on herself, and that is when Luminate Leadership was born.
Cherie is known for her passionate energy, a genuine love for people and raw vulnerability and authentic style that shines through in all that she does. Her intention is to embrace and enhance the human based Leadership skills such as connection, empathy, collaboration, and courage in as many Leaders as possible.

THE HEART
We understand people.
Passion and connection are just as important as science when it comes to maximising the learning experience, enjoyment and engagement.
Boring workshops don’t produce great results, and we are anything but boring. We use interactive techniques and storytelling to create an environment that challenges and inspires participants.
By empowering individuals to be accountable for their own path and action plan, we’re able to help affect a mindset shift in how leaders self-manage, interact with their people and drive results.
THE MIND
Our programs are based on Neuroscience.
We use scientifically proven methods and neuroscience principles when designing our programs for proven results.
We draw on proven leadership tools to profile individuals and teams before, during and after our programs, to enhance our focus and understanding of the group.
All workshops and programs are then designed to encourage clarity, capability and contribution that is aligned to your business strategies and enables a high-performance culture.
