Leanne Clifton

Sales Director

I believe that our training changes lives. I’ve worked in sales for over 18 years across a range of industries and have been with Aspire2 Workplace Communication since mid-2017. My role goes beyond reaching out to businesses to inform them about our government-funded training opportunities. It’s about explaining the process, the benefits, and the criteria—and helping businesses see how training can transform both their people and their productivity.

While the benefits to businesses are clear—greater engagement, better communication, and improved efficiency—the most rewarding part for me is seeing what the learners themselves gain. Our graduations can be emotional occasions, with stories about how the training has helped people in their jobs, their families, and their confidence. I’ve seen learners go on to earn promotions, strengthen relationships at home, become leaders in their communities, and truly value themselves more.

I want to make a difference, especially for those who may not have had access to a good education or for whom English is a second language. When people are given the tools to communicate effectively, a whole new world opens up for them.

I love meeting people from all walks of life. In a single day, I might be sitting down with the owner of a supermarket, the CEO of a logistics company, a production manager in manufacturing, or an HR business partner from the local council.

I thrive on being seen as a trusted business partner. The most successful Relationship Managers are those who genuinely believe in what they’re offering—and I do.
