Here's a bit about me…

 

We just met, and you might wonder whether I'm just another "fly-by-night leadership coach and consultant" or "another legally trained ex-litigation barrister-mediator now accepting mediation briefs."

 

So, let me introduce myself.

 

I've had a diverse and varied career, including 15 years as a Medical Specialist Practice Manager, where I attended brain, plastic surgery, eye surgeries, and even a C-section.

 

In that role, I learned that authentic leadership involves guiding people confidently through moments of vulnerability, using empathy, clear communication, and the ability to make critical decisions under pressure.

 

In 2010, I transitioned into law, became a barrister in 2012, and a mediator in 2014.

 

Since 2018, I've been a leadership coach and consultant, focusing on empowering female legal leaders to communicate with unwavering confidence and influence during high-stakes meetings, advocate effectively in high-pressure negotiations and resolve employee challenges with unshakeable courage, achieving unstoppable success with balance, fulfilment and respect.

 

2019 I attended Harvard, where I studied negotiation, leadership, and handling difficult conversations. I continue to use these skills to help clients thrive.

 

Additionally, Brendon Burchard, the world's #1 high-performance coach and consultant, personally certified me as a high-performance coach. I'm also a certified emotional intelligence coach and a Dare To Lead coach and consultant.

 

I know my stuff and how to help you achieve the sustainable, next-level results you desire in both leadership and life.

 

My coaching style is known for being both "direct and supportive." I will challenge and hold you accountable, but I won't lie or tell you what you want to hear to secure your approval.

 

My goal is to ensure you're on the path to what is truly sustainable and correct for you, not just what is trending at the moment.

 

As one of Australia's top 1% of High-Performance Coaches, I have the expertise and track record to help you take your leadership and life to the next level.

I’ll never forget information day at the University of Sydney. The auditorium was packed—500 hopeful law school aspirants of all ages and backgrounds.

 

Excitement and nerves were palpable, and as I took my seat, I couldn’t shake the uncertainty I felt inside. 

 

Then, the speaker took the stage and delivered a line that would stay with me forever:
"Look to your right and left. Fifty per cent of you won’t complete this course—it’s very challenging."

 

The voice in my head took that statement and ran with it:
"Louise, that could be you. Do you belong here? You didn’t finish high school. You’ve never written a formal essay. Is this goal too big for you?"

 

The truth was, I had every reason to give up before I even started. As a mature student, I had no formal qualifications. But deep down, I had something more potent than fear—I had a reason.

 

This wasn’t just about getting a law degree. It was about becoming the person I knew I was capable of being as a lawyer—a person who could lead, make an impact, and inspire others.

 

And so, despite the fear, the self-doubt, and the unknowns, I made a decision:
I said YES.

 

Yes to the challenge. Yes to the uncertainty. Yes to myself.

 

The Moment Fear Lost Its Power

Saying yes—taking bold action—doesn't silence fear—it never does. But it gave me something more powerful to hold onto: the truth.

 

The truth is that leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about moving forward despite the unknown, fear, self-doubt and second-guessing.

 

It’s about taking responsibility for our decisions, communication (even the voice inside our heads), actions, and how we show up as a role model in our careers and lives.

 

I juggled a full-time Medical Specialist Practice Manager role while studying full-time for half the course.

 

My days were full of lectures, late nights, and early mornings, and there were countless moments when I wondered if I was asking too much of myself.

 

But through it all, I held onto one belief: I could fail forward. Each step I took—even the messy, imperfect ones—was a step closer to becoming the leader in law-  I aspired to be.

 

The Results of Choosing Confidence

 

That initial decision to say YES changed everything. It paved the way for results I never imagined:

  • In my first semester, I placed 4th out of 500 students.
  • I ranked 1st in Family Law and Consumer Law.
  • I ranked 5th in Employment and Industrial Law.
  • I passed three bar exams simultaneously two years after being admitted as a lawyer to become a barrister.

 

Of course, there were setbacks, too.

I failed a subject in my final semester, delaying my graduation by six months. That moment was infuriating, but it wasn’t the end. I knew how to rise after failure.

 

What This Means For YOU

 

I’m not sharing this to impress you but to remind you: if I can do it, so can you.

 

I wasn’t the most intelligent person in the room, and I had no special advantages—some would say my humble beginnings disadvantaged me.

 

But I did have one thing: the courage and willingness to lead myself through fear, doubt and uncertainty- when success wasn't guaranteed.

 

Leadership isn’t about perfection. It starts with self-leadership, making decisions, and taking action when it feels impossible.

 

It’s about building the confidence to say yes to yourself - because leadership isn't only about strategies; it's about transforming yourself into the person who can execute them —even when the odds seem stacked against you.

 

If you’re ready to achieve that kind of confidence and influence, I’m here to help.

 

The question is:
Are you ready to say yes to yourself?

Let’s Talk On The Confident Leader Call

Louise challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, take risks and try new things. She helped me build my self-confidence.
