Soulful Scaling

For small businesses with a headcount of less than 120, set to experience a period of growth or scale:

I do this work because:

Too often, as individuals, startups and small businesses chase growth, accolades, or commercial success, they forget that human connection is the very thing that made their achievements possible and that gave meaning to their success.

I’ve also seen across ambitious scaleups that the real magic happens when people come together, united by a shared vision, unspoken understanding and the bonds that spark above-and-beyond commitment.

My purpose is to help individuals and scaleups like you find, protect and grow the value that comes from the magic of human connection as a strategy for sustainable growth.

Years of Industry-Specific Experience

With a background in change management, talent strategy and learning and development across consulting firms, fintech, and investment banking, I have a strong track record of designing and executing solutions that elevate culture, performance and impact.

Three things lie at the heart of my approach:

01

Emotional Intelligence – crafting smart communication and smart interactions by levelling up emotional intelligence skills.

02

Strengths-based learning and coaching – building on and emphasising what works and what you’re good at.

03

Behaviour change models – using behaviour change and coaching models to drive change in outcomes.

Louise is insightful, incisive and highly intelligent. She asks pertinent and persistent questions to uncover critical issues. Once the root of any issues are identified, she assists in drawing out a plan of action that addresses the challenges, whilst taking your personal foibles and capacity into consideration. Coaching with her has been enjoyable, eye-opening and life changing. I highly recommend!

It’s hard to put into words how fantastic Louise was at delivering the session. 80% of the women at the event mentioned that they will use the wisdom she shared in their day-to-day activities. 96% of the women at the event voted her as their favourite speaker of the day. Louise has a fantastic way of imparting wisdom in a fun, creative and engaging way. I would recommend her as a speaker.

I went to one of Louise's sessions recently and it was totally inspiring. Her presence, grace and insightfulness made the session extremely powerful for all of those that were there. You can tell that she's a natural at getting the best out of people. Her natural talent and the 10000 hours that she's put in make her an effective human, which ultimately makes her an effective coach. As you can probably guess I totally recommend her.

Louise is motivating, open, authentic, caring, wise, trustworthy, professional and passionate about bringing me closer to my goals. She brings great counsel to each session and topic, which is inspiring and leaves much for me to reflect on and work on. One is simply enriched by Louise's guidance and support.

Louise spoke at one of our Innovation Labs. She is such a natural and warm speaker, bringing a lot of insight into the issue by sharing some of her personal stories. Her talk inspired the audience which she engaged with beautifully.
