Your sparkling energy, tireless zest and passion for knowledge-giving amazed and inspired everyone in the room. Feedback has been about your side-clutching sense of humour and sensational impersonations … that you are the best speaker ever and that your techniques will make a difference in their lives. Parliament of Victoria
Louise achieves a wonderful sense of engagement with her audience. Her recent presentations to our syndicate groups on ‘Vocal Intelligence’ have placed her in our top speaker category- of all time. She has inspired our (very experienced) CEO’s to apply new “mind-body-voice” techniques to their business and personal lives- with real success. Louise is a professional who can be relied upon to deliver beyond your expectations. CEO Institute
For the past several years Louise has worked with MBS on the Senior Executive Program which is one of the Executive Education unit's Flagship Programs. She has undertaken a small segment of approximately 1-2 hours. Participants are either CEOs or top echelon Executives from National or international Organisations representing many countries from the Asia Pacific region. On each occasion she has presented a stimulating, exciting and always well received program, people inevitably report that she has given them new perspectives and insights and that their learning was greatly enhanced by her material and her methods of presentation. Melbourne Business School
Louise has an amazing ability to instantly connect with her audience with her enthusiasm, energy and passion in delivering her message … to say that Louise has a gift for public speaking is almost an understatement. Not only is her work thoroughly researched and structured for optimal learning, but it is fun and enjoyably interactive. The Coaching Connection
For my part I rated it outstanding. This should be a compulsory topic for all groups. In fact, it should be incorporated in TEC Chair training. Everyone was really alight after the presentations. My observations were that you engaged the groups better than any other speaker I have seen in many years. TEC
