About Elevana Learning

Real guidance for real life.

Elevana exists for people who are ready for change, but don’t want guesswork. Practical, accessible career-building and life skills, built for Australia and built for how work is changing now.

Why Elevana exists

Too many capable people get stuck, not because they lack potential, but because nobody taught them the practical stuff: how to explain their value, communicate professionally, advocate for support, and navigate workplaces with confidence.

Hiring has changed. Work has changed. Accessibility expectations have improved. AI has made learning more open than ever. Elevana pulls the noise apart and gives you a clear path forward.

Plain English Skills-first Accessible No judgement

“My mission is simple: help people build the confidence, competence, and independence they deserve, one practical skill at a time.”
– Leanne Hickson, Founder

Who we’re here for

Different starting points. Same goal: work that fits, confidence you can prove, and practical systems that make life easier.

Starting Out

You’ve worked casually or part-time. You’re ready for something more stable and meaningful.

You need: simple steps, clear examples, and a resume that shows real value.

The Career Switch

You’re moving industries or stepping into a new type of role and need the “how” translated.

You need: skills translation, interview confidence, and a plan that doesn’t waste time.

The Restart

You’ve had time away for health, family, caring responsibilities, or life doing life.

You need: dignified wording, confidence rebuilding, and a pathway back in.

The Self-Starter

You’re building something, freelancing, or exploring ideas, but want professional structure.

You need: systems, templates, and a way to show proof of skills.

The Overwhelmed Adult

You can do the work, but the admin, jargon, and “adulting” expectations pile up fast.

You need: plain-English guidance and small wins that build momentum.

The Quiet Achiever

You’re capable, but self-promotion feels gross and you don’t want to sound like a know-it-all.

You need: confident language that still feels like you.

What we stand for

Everything we build runs through the same lens: confidence, accessibility, and future-ready employability.

Confidence you can prove

Proof beats polish. We help you show value clearly, without sounding performative.

Accessibility by design

Different brains and bodies deserve support, clarity, and safe workplaces.

Future-ready work

We teach skills-first methods aligned to how hiring works now in Australia.

How we teach

Clear steps. Short lessons. Templates you can use immediately. Designed for real life, not academic perfection.

Plain English

We translate HR-speak, workplace expectations, and “adulting” into steps that make sense.

Action over perfection

Progress beats “ready.” We focus on small wins that build momentum.

Templates + examples

You’ll get wording, scripts, checklists, and real examples you can adapt.

Accessibility note: captions and transcripts are included where possible, and content is built to reduce overwhelm.

If you’re not sure where to start

Start with the free webinar. It’ll help you make sense of the job market, accessibility, and what “proof of skills” really means.
