After fifteen years in medical specialist practice management, I made a bold career pivot at age 40, entering law school and passing three bar exams simultaneously just 18 months after graduation.
I have served as a barrister since 2012 (now ex-litigation Barrister) and as a certified mediator since 2014 (accepting mediation briefs only).
My professional development includes specialised training at Harvard in negotiation, leadership, and handling difficult conversations.
I also have coaching certifications in high performance, emotional intelligence, and Brene Brown Dare To Lead methodologies.
I hold a Diploma in Leadership and Management.
I created the Lawyers Who Lead Blueprint after seeing many talented legal professionals struggling with overwhelming workloads and unreasonable expectations, not knowing how to manage their frustrations and stress so they can be the master of their ship.
Most lawyers had little time for family or personal interests, focusing only on immediate work-related tasks.
Most had excellent technical expertise but lacked the skills to effectively lead demanding clients and poor-performing team members and resolve conflict effectively.
I saw the real problem: lawyers knew the law well, but they hadn't learned how to lead themselves, others, or their firms to sustainable success.
They struggled with second-guessing and doubting themselves, wanting to portray "perfect" yet had difficulty communicating to influence key stakeholders in high-pressure meetings and leading personal and firm-wide transformations.
I've been in management and leadership roles inside and outside of law, so I understand what they're going through.
The Lawyers Who Lead Blueprint transforms technical lawyers into trusted leaders.
It helps technical lawyers leverage their legal knowledge and combine it with essential leadership skills, creating a powerful combination that puts them in a class of their own.
Legal expertise is crucial, but it's only half the equation for those who want to lead with genuine fulfilment, have meaningful client relationships built on trust, the respect of colleagues and counterparts, the ability to develop and lead high-performing teams who trust you, and the freedom to be present for life's most important moments rather than being chained to endless workloads.
COACHING
Louise challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, take risks and try new things. She helped me build my self-confidence.
Now I set clear boundaries and communicate my needs clearly and respectfully.
Working with Louise has helped me overcome my fears and doubts and given me the confidence to achieve my goals.
I recommend working with Louise; it's a positive, transformative experience.
Louise is an ethical, compassionate professional who will help you achieve your best...

COACHING
I am now aware of the entrenched thought patterns that were holding me back, and I've been given the tools and strategies for big changes.
I no longer feel like I'm drowning in overwhelm because I have set an intention to challenge my thoughts and perfectionism. I know transformation takes time, and I'm committed to making long-term changes.
I have made positive progress with the accountability and guidance I received from Louise.
