 Cherie Canning

FOUNDER, 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.

These days, Cherie calls Brisbane home, with her husband Andy, daughter Chloe and their puppy Coco.

LEADERSHIP FACILITATOR

Jasmine Davis

Passionate about helping people and organisations unlock their potential through leadership, learning and change.

With more than 15 years’ experience across Australia and New Zealand, she has designed and facilitated leadership programs that support people at every stage of their career, from emerging professionals to senior executives. Her work is grounded in a genuine belief that leadership is deeply human and that meaningful growth happens when people feel safe, seen and supported.

During her time at Deloitte Australia, she designed and delivered national leadership initiatives, including the flagship Transform program. She also reshaped onboarding and graduate learning experiences for thousands of participants, leading teams of facilitators and learning professionals to deliver programs at scale with strong engagement and measurable impact.
Her work extended across leadership, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and wellbeing, always with a focus on creating lasting, practical change.

Beyond Deloitte, she has held senior learning and development roles within large, complex organisations across sectors including medtech and travel. This breadth of experience has given her a deep understanding of organisational growth, leadership challenges and navigating change in fast-moving environments.

She is an experienced conference speaker and facilitator, known for creating engaging, inclusive learning spaces that balance insight with real-world application. Her style is thoughtful, grounded and highly relatable.

At the heart of her work is a deep curiosity about human behaviour. She is fascinated by why people think the way they do and how that shapes the way they lead, connect and adapt. That curiosity flows through every workshop, keynote and coaching session, supporting people to lead with clarity, confidence and courage as they step into their full potential.

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.
