Anyone seen the family flick, ‘Yes Day’?
The gist: parents always say no to kids, kids call them dictators, parents declare one day where they have to say yes to the kids’ requests.

What’s an eye mask got to do with leadership?
I started wearing an eye mask to bed and it’s had a big impact. Why am I telling you this? I reckon there’s a parallel to be drawn with leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
Hear from leaders who have transformed their workplace
As a new HR department it has been excellent to have someone with Louise’s experience to help us identify our key strategic priorities for the coming years. Having a strategic workforce plan we can refer to and refresh year on year is essential for our success, enabling us to effectively business partner our leaders and deliver on our organisation's strategic objectives.
I have truly enjoyed working with Louise and will continue to engage with her. She is an excellent listener, was highly engaged in getting to know our unique context including our strategic plan and our staff, and demonstrated a true understanding of our values and mission. It was not an off the shelf program – it was bespoke, thoughtful and intentional. I would recommend working with Louise if you are looking for someone who is empathetic, responsive, and professional. Louise will create a professional learning experience made just for you and your staff.
I engaged Louise to develop a leadership capability framework and new HR Operating model for Maxeon Solar Technologies. Louise quickly built relationships across the HR team, to understand their current state and challenges, and brought outside-in perspective to help shape the future state and vision for the HR function. She has the ability to provide thoughtful feedback and constructive advice in a direct, but effective way. I would thoroughly recommend Louise to any organization needing thought leadership in organizational development and capability.
Louise was engaged to support our strategic capability planning and I was delighted to see how quickly she articulated the deliverables we were looking for and demonstrated her understanding of the unique needs of our organisation. I can personally recommend engaging her services and won’t hesitate to contact her in the future, should I require any additional support.
