About
“Louisa doesn’t sit and tell you what you need to do, she works collaboratively with you, and takes a holistic approach suited to your individual needs.”
Hi, I’m Louisa, a creative business strategist, mentor, speaker and facilitator.
I work with creatives, leaders, those who are neurodivergent like me (and my son) and organisations to help them achieve their goals by giving them clarity, direction, accountability and practical guidance and support.
I am passionate about making a difference and helping you achieve your goals.
My approach?
I take a holistic view because it’s about how everything connects together rather than looking at elements in isolation because that’s how things are often missed.
I’m very much left and right-brained, mixing creativity with strategy, analysis and practicality. I listen intently to what you have to say but not just spoken the word, it’s also about what you don’t say and I ask questions – sometimes playing devil’s advocate to get you to think differently, ultimately guiding you to achieve your goals.
Clients often refer to me as a coach but I’ve never trained as a coach. I have attended various one day courses and perhaps that’s how I have developed my style but I would agree that I’m not your typical mentor (or coach).
They say those who are autistic can’t read people but that is a strength of mine and clients will often say how at ease they feel with me and in a group setting, how I create a space where everyone feels heard and comfortable to speak openly.
I never judge you, I encourage and motivate you leaving you feeling excited about what’s next!
A little about me
In case you hadn’t guessed, I love to travel. I always have done and I’ve been fortunate to have worked and travelled overseas. Since December 2023 until September 2024, I’ve been to Lapland, Denmark, Holland twice, Hungary (for the day) and Belgium (for the day).
I grew up in England but I’m actually half Dutch, I was never taught the language but when I hear it, I understand enough to speak and get by.
I have been solo parenting since 2018 and after getting my little dude’s autism diagnosis, I found out that I am also autistic. Although I suspect I have ADHD – it would make a lot of sense! On top of that, I also have chronic health conditions, let’s just say I have a lot of resilience.
Back to you
Consider where you are right now.
Perhaps you’ve tried business coaching and it hasn’t worked for you.
Perhaps they just told you what you wanted to hear.
You want someone to be honest with you and give you some much-needed clarity on where you’re headed – because you’ve not had this up until now. You want to be certain of which direction is best for you because you want it to be aligned with your values rather than feeling tired and confused all the time.
So, imagine, what would it feel like to not be like this anymore, to not feel so overwhelmed or frustrated?
Good, right?
Close your eyes and picture yourself feeling clear about the direction you’re heading in. Going from feeling unsure, with no starting point and no idea of how you’re going to achieve anything – to knowing exactly where you’re going and how you’re going to get there.
Going from a lack of confidence to feeling self-assured and gaining a deeper understanding of the steps needed to achieve your goals.
How does that feel for you now?
Why work with me 1:1?
I like to build up people’s confidence and challenge them in an honest, supportive and transparent way, and in a way you won’t get anywhere else.
I won’t tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear to help move you forward.
I’m detail-focused and I also see the bigger picture, it’s a combination that works really well. I instinctively know what works and I’m good at identifying gaps and what’s missing.
In my power hour, you might be in the wrong headspace, with too many ideas flying aimlessly around inside your head. You may not be able to make sense of them, or you’re completely lost as to what to do first.
“Louisa went above and beyond to get to know me, my business, my story, my brand and what I wanted to achieve. She believed in me, championed me and celebrated with me when I started getting results.”
Imposter syndrome may have kicked in or shiny objects are showing you a different way – which isn’t necessarily the right way.
I will give you the ammunition, the fresh perspective, the ideas and a new angle from which to see things, with suggestions that challenge your current thinking and propel you forward.
