My mother used to tell this story about me: “Louise (only Mum calls me that) started speaking when she was one – she hasn’t shut up since”. Thanks, Mum – I love you.
She’s not wrong, though. Here are some examples where you can hear me have way too much fun talking to brilliant people about things I love exploring with others.
Fan the Flames with Robert Stephenson
It is always a pleasure to catch up with Robert! I was so excited to join him to talk about allyship-informed coaching, a part of my coaching practice and Masters’ research for his new podcast, Fan the Flames. Find out more about Robert Stephenson and connect with him if you want excellent conversations about coaching.
GuildHE Lunch Time Learning: How to be a Better Ally
I am so proud of the work done by GuildHE over the past few years. Not only have they put together resources for and facilitated deep conversations among their members, but they have also been one of a few of my clients willing to do the work themselves. You can learn more about their introspective journey with this link and their summary of my lunchtime learning session here.
Exploring Intersectionality in Coaching: A Roundtable Discussion with Animas Centre for Coaching
This one is for the coaches! I love the work that Robert Stephenson from Animas Centre for Coaching and Myira Khan from Myira Khan Counselling and Coaching do. We talk about intersectionality and inclusion within helping professions. My imposter syndrome sneaks through in this discussion, but I couldn’t have been in better company. Give them a follow!
ASK Campaign
Awareness. Support. Keep Going.
These are the key elements of the ASK Campaign to encourage conversation around mental health, with the aim of de-stigmatising the lived experiences of those struggling with poor mental health.
I’m honoured to have been part of their webinar series – where I spoke about those unhelpful internal voices. You can catch the recording on YouTube (or below)
Career Curious
Career Curious is a beautiful community of women and femmes that supports and elevates one another in their career journeys. They run events and share some excellent guides on Instagram.
It was such a privilege to join them at their September 2020 meet-up. Be sure to sign up for their newsletter or give them a follow on Instagram.
What Kind…? Pod and VodCast
Throughout the summer of 2020, I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Niamh Gallagher from Quickfire Digital and Marie Oakes from The Trend Academy to practice those awkward work-life questions we have in our heads, out loud. With so many changes happening so quickly, we had so much we wanted to cover. You can catch the recordings are on Quickfire Digital’s YouTube Channel.
Addicted to Business Podcast
Despite quite a deep topic, I had so much fun being interviewed by Nathan Lomax from Quickfire Digital and Stokely Howard from Trendy Grandad! Here we talk about how acknowledging multiple selves can help make us move forward more authentically. They host a wonderful podcast – I’m biased of course – but you should check them out! Can also be found where all good podcasts are found.
