Holistic Barrister | Harvard Trained Mediator

There's Something You Need To Know About Me...

Before I entered law, I spent many years in medicine as a Medical Practice Manager.

I worked closely with specialists and often went into the theatre, watching them use new technology and new ways of doing surgery, and making decisions under intense pressure when the stakes were life and death.

Those decisions were still made daily.

Later, as a litigation barrister, I noticed something interesting.

Barristers and lawyers rarely face life-and-death consequences.

Yet many hesitate to make decisions or try new approaches because they are worried about getting it wrong.

Many lawyers believe that legal skills and experience are what set them apart from others.

In reality, those are the baseline in the profession.

Most barristers and lawyers are intelligent and technically strong. Most are high achievers.

But high achievement is not the same as high performance.

High performers raise their standards and build habits that enable them to prepare, decide, and lead as high performers under pressure.

That’s what I help barristers and lawyers build.

Legal practice builds expertise, experience, promotions and eventually leadership titles.

But when people resist, push back, or don’t follow your lead, legal skills and experience aren’t enough.

Many barristers and lawyers respond by pushing harder, becoming more directive or aggressive, or micromanaging people and work.

It backfires. It costs you.

The Leaders Influence Workshop shows how high-performing legal leaders influence teams, clients and high-stakes situations to move people and outcomes forward.

About Louise

I help barristers and lawyers handle the pressure of the legal profession and consistently perform at a higher standard.

I know the profession well.

I was a litigation barrister for years.
Now I work with barristers, lawyers, and law firms as a barrister-mediator (Harvard), high-performance adviser, & consultant.

One thing has become very clear.

Most barristers and lawyers believe success and leadership come down to legal skill, experience and titles.

Know the law.
Work harder.
Win the argument/case.

Legal expertise does matter.

But it isn’t what sets the barristers and lawyers who stand out apart.

I’ve seen brilliant legal minds struggle because of how they think and what they fear under pressure.

They second-guess decisions.
Avoid difficult conversations.
Push harder when people resist.
Or let worry shape how they communicate, prepare and perform.

The barristers and lawyers who stand out are different.

They raise their standards so they think clearly under pressure.
They raise their standards so they make good decisions with confidence.
They raise their standards so they influence people and outcomes.
They raise their standards so they can lead themselves and others effectively.

They are trusted.
They are respected.
People follow their lead.

That’s what I help 3+ PQE barristers and lawyers build as an adviser and consultant, and what I do when resolving conflicts in mediation.

The ability to prepare, perform and lead as high performers, even in the pressure and complexity of legal practice.

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 daily.
