Leadership coaching that helps public service leaders drive impact, build confidence and get measurable results.
I believe in thoughtful, sustainable performance. Not rushed. Not reactive. Just clear, capable people doing meaningful work, well.
Hare Consulting’s name comes from The Tortoise and the Hare. While the hare relies on speed, the tortoise succeeds through consistency, focus and perseverance. In today’s fast-paced workplaces, especially in government and professional services, that lesson matters more than ever.
I’m Brendon Le Lievre, and I help leaders and teams build capability that lasts.
With over a decade of experience in government and professional services, I bring a calm, practical and people-focused approach to leadership development, training, facilitation and coaching. My work supports people to navigate complexity, strengthen relationships and apply learning in their day-to-day roles.



Strong capability grows when people have space to think clearly, reflect honestly and practise new skills in real situations. That’s why my work is grounded in practical tools, genuine conversations and real workplace challenges.
I partner with organisations that value integrity, curiosity and sustainable performance and want their people to thrive, not burn out.
