SPEAKING
Conversations worth being in the room for.
The kind leaders remember days, weeks, even months later - the ones that shift something. Real talk, sharp questions, and a few laughs along the way.
TWO WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Holding the space, bringing real and relatable perspective.
Panel Moderator
Louise draws the conversation out. Keeps it grounded, keeps it moving, and makes sure the audience leaves with something they can act on.
Good for: conferences, member events and leadership forums.
Panel Member
Louise brings the perspective of someone who’s led from the frontline to the Boardroom - steel-capped boots to high heels, big organisations and small, for-profit and for-purpose.
Frank, practical, fun.
TOPICS I SPEAK TO
Where the conversation goes.
1.
The reality of leading a for-purpose organisation
The load CEOs carry, what no one tells you on the way in, and what it takes to stay.
2.
Building cohesive leadership teams
Moving from a group of capable individuals to a team that’s ‘greater than the sum of its parts’.
3.
Leading through complexity
What really matters when navigating constrained resources, competing stakeholder pressures, and adaptive change that doesn’t come with a playbook.
4.
Closing the gap between intent and impact
Why strategy stalls, where the gaps emerge, and how to lead deliberately so you stay on track with purpose.
5.
Leadership lessons from frontline to Boardroom
The patterns and the nuances of leadership, and what really matters for-purpose leaders who want to turn strategic intentions into sustainable impact.
6.
Imperfect leadership
How to be more real - because imperfection builds connection.
HOW I SHOW UP
High energy, low ego, loud laugh.
Prepared but not scripted - so the conversation can go where it needs to go.
I bring range. Strategic and operational, with lived experience across multiple sectors - from crib rooms to Board tables. I ask the questions other moderators don’t and as a panel member, I keep it real and practical.
