Be the Leader You're Ready to Be

I help leaders and high-performing professionals make clear decisions, lead with confidence, and stay grounded when the stakes are high.

✩ You carry real responsibility - and the pressure is constant.
✩ You're capable, but something is getting in the way of clarity or confidence.
✩ You're ready to lead with more intention, steadiness, and impact.

Readers often say:

• "Your perspective helps me see situations more clearly."

• "These emails bring language to things I've felt but couldn't articulate."

and clarify priorities, make better decisions, and lead with more intention.

When your decisions are clear, your leadership is trusted, and your influence grows where it matters most, everything changes.

Leadership - grounded and trusted.
Decisions - clearer under pressure.
Results - aligned with what actually matters.

Most of my clients are capable, thoughtful people who carry significant responsibility - at work, in their businesses, or in their lives.

From the outside, things often look fine. Internally, they're maneuvering pressure, complex decisions, relational challenges, or a sense that they're capable of more - but something isn't aligning.

I work with leaders who carry responsibility and are navigating:
- uncertainty when the pressure is on
- internal friction and second-guessing
- relational complexity at work or at home
- decision-making that feels heavier than it should

Together, we turn these challenges into strategic leverage so you lead with confidence, impact, and integrity.

How open are you to seeing yourself more clearly?
What do you need that you don’t have?

I work with leaders who are ready to engage deeply.

You're already capable. Coaching isn't about fixing you - it's about accessing your clarity, confidence, and decision-making more consistently.
With over 20 years in leadership roles, I work with leaders whose decisions affect other people, outcomes, and systems - people who want to think more clearly, lead with intention, and create impact without burning out. As an ICF-certified PCC coach, my role is not to reassure or rescue, but to think alongside you through honest conversations, healthy disruption, and a focus on results that last.

You set the direction. I help you see more clearly, challenge blind spots, and translate insight into committed action.

I will challenge assumptions that no longer serve you, and together we'll identify the habits and choices that support the results you want to create.

"Through working with Louise, I truly feel like I am equipped with tools to help myself grow and become a better version of myself."
Through working with Louise, I truly feel like I am equipped with tools to help myself grow and become a better version of myself, as I consider all of the new journeys I am embarking on; both personal and professional. I feel more confident in embracing the future and I feel empowered. Thank you so much, Louise, for all of the insight and profound discoveries over the last couple of months.
Seana K.
Founder & CEO
"I feel more at ease asking for what I need, less anxious, and less concerned about what other people are going to say. I feel more grounded and firm, and things don’t bother me as much as they used to."
Through working with Louise, I’ve become more aware of what I know versus what I think. I’m much better at communicating, specifically communicating my needs in a way that’s both firm and graceful. Louise helped me get out of the headspace of “Seana’s asking for too much”. Now, I’m no longer worried or concerned about if what I need is too much - it just is what it is. I feel more at ease asking for what I need, less anxious, and less concerned about what other people are going to say. I feel more grounded and firm, and things don’t bother me as much as they used to. I highly recommend working with Louise!
Jaclyn C.
Project Marketing & Real Estate Professional
"I’m no longer dependent on what other people say or think, and I have a much stronger sense of personal agency."
Before working with Louise, I tended to seek validation and answers from other people, and avoided my own needs. I knew I needed to change this, especially because I was about to embark on a big career and business transition. Through working with Louise, I’m now more confident in looking to myself for answers. I’m no longer dependent on what other people say or think, and I have a much stronger sense of personal agency. Now I ask myself what I need instead of avoiding it, and am able to be with myself more. It’s great to be an agent for myself, it’s easier to let go of things, and life is simpler as a result. I recommend working with Louise as your coach!

Trainer & Teacher
"I wanted more confidence and I got it. Louise is a quality coach that gets you results."
Coaching with Louise is not what I expected - but it’s what I needed. It was a little unpredictable and there was some tough love which worked quite well with me. Louise also doesn’t tell you what you want to be told, which was helpful to me, even though I sometimes felt resistance. Now I come from a place of fullness and wholeness. I wanted more confidence and I got it. Louise is a quality coach that gets you results.
Lisa G.
Director & Brand/Creative Strategy Leader
"Louise was a valuable resource in helping me find clarity through a sea of options and even helped me to qualitatively and quantitatively calculate decisions."
Louise is an amazing executive coach. She not only listens intently but clarifies what she's understanding from conversations along the way to help you evaluate your own thoughts appropriately. Louise was a valuable resource in helping me find clarity through a sea of options and even helped me to qualitatively and quantitatively calculate decisions. I am grateful for her consult and time and for the ultimate gift - finding clarity through the noise and executive coaching feedback I'll use for a lifetime.
Ruth Ann D.
Executive Leader
"I realized how strong my “inner critic” was, how my self-doubt was infecting my work, and how my humility could come across as uncertainty in a time when people need strong leadership."
Before I met Louise, my biggest doubt was that I was perhaps too old to benefit from coaching. I hesitated because I was specifically drawn to her (as a very polished woman, accomplished musician, and had already worked well with someone I know), but wondered whether I should select someone who was the opposite of the traits I traditionally admired so that I might learn more/different things. What made me say “I’m in!” with Louise was how comfortable and inspired I felt the first time we spoke - and I wanted that ongoing. Through working with Louise, I realized how strong my “inner critic” was at myself, how my self-doubt is infecting my work, how my humility could come across as uncertainty in a time when people need strong leadership, and that my feelings are valid and I can give myself and others grace to experience that rather than resist it. Louise is such a great mix of formality/elegance and real through. She saw through my shields and cut to the heart of issues, and always communicated in a way that was so graceful so that I felt supposed and never “found out”. I appreciate Louise’s kindness and warmth. It may be that when people first hear her, they think she’s elegant, “above” them, and might not genuinely care. But Louise is the Real Deal - she got down in the weeds with me in a caring, curious, and compassionate way, and she truly cares. I highly recommend working with Louise for both personal and professional development in any and all areas of your life.

Business Owner
"I think the best coaches are like magic and it’s hard for this to be legible to anyone until they experience it. Louise is truly one of the best."
Before working with Louise, my biggest insecurity was not consistently keeping my agreements with self and others. Having worked with Louise before, I had full confidence in her and in our partnership. As a result of working with Louise, I'm much better at keeping my agreements. I understand the space better than ever before. Louise has such a good range - whatever problem I raise seems to be tackled magnificently. I think the best coaches are like magic and it’s hard for this to be legible to anyone until they experience it. Louise is truly one of the best.

How you lead matters - your thinking shapes your impact.

What Is Coaching?

Coaching with me is a structured, developmental partnership designed to support clear thinking, confident decision-making, and meaningful leadership over time.
How We Work
Our work is ongoing and structured in focused cycles. Each cycle combines honest reflection, insight, and practical action - so what we explore in session shows up in real decisions, relationships, and results.

This is not about fixing you. It's about creating the conditions for insight, responsibility, and action - so how you think and decide actually changes how you lead and live.

My coaching is not about giving advice, telling you what to do, or offering quick answers.

It's a thinking partnership for people who are willing to slow things down, examine how they're operating, and take responsibility for their own decisions rather than outsourcing them.

My role is to think alongside you. I will ask direct questions, challenge assumptions that no longer serve you, and help you stay aligned with what matters most. You remain responsible for the direction and the action.
Who This Is For
My clients tend to be people who:

- carry real responsibility
- are willing to invest time, attention, and energy into their development
- care about how they show up and the impact they have

They're not here because something is "wrong", but because they want to lead and live more intentionally.
What We Work On
- Decision-making under pressure
- Leadership presence and confidence
- Navigating complexity, conflict, and influence
- Untangling self-doubt that interferes with performance
- Aligning values with action in demanding environments

This is practical, developmental coaching - not therapy or advice-giving. Check out what some of my clients have to say about that in the Testimonials.
Coaching is the most transformative form of education. It’s insight-based, reflective, and designed to create lasting change.
Why Coaching?
Your experience and intelligence got you here - but they don't automatically create the clarity, steadiness, or perspective required for the next level of leadership.
Coaching creates the space to slow down your thinking, examine how you make decisions, and lead without force or reactivity.

My work tends to show up not just in what leaders do, but in how their teams experience working with them - especially under pressure.
I don't tell you what to do. My role is to listen closely, ask direct questions, and help you see patterns, assumptions, and blind spots that are difficult to see on your own. From there, we translate insight into clear action and measurable progress.
This work supports leaders who want to:

- lead with authority without intimidation
- navigate complexity and conflict more effectively
- create trust, safety, and accountability in their teams
- take responsibility for how they show up and the impact they have

Coaching with me works best for people who are ready to engage consistently, reflect honestly, and act on what they uncover.

Andrea A.
Staff Machine Learning Engineer
"I've rediscovered my core values, rebuilt my confidence, and made aligned life choices. Louise makes me feel valued and empowers me to unearth the wisdom that was hidden inside me all along."
When I first started working with Louise, I felt insecure and powerless in many areas of my life. I was unhappy at work, unsure where I wanted to live, and struggling to motivate myself--all of which left me feeling lost. Even some discussions with my wife made me feel doubtful and anxious. From our very first introductory meeting, I immediately knew Louise was the right coach for me. My top three tangible results: 1 Rediscovered my core values. I took time to reflect and clarify what truly matters to me at this stage of life, and I now ensure my values are aligned with everything I do. 2 Rebuilt my confidence. This helped me in multiple areas of my life (family, friends and hobby). 3 Made aligned life choices. I decided where to live next--a choice that perfectly reflects my values. I also advanced in my career, receiving three job offers and moving forward with clarity and purpose. Louise's zone of genius is guiding me to uncover what I really want and helping me find the answers within myself. What I appreciate most is feeling heard and understood; she never simply gives advice. Instead, she makes me feel valued and empowers me to unearth the wisdom that was hidden inside me all along.

"It's like we're unleashing a super-power - it's a gift that will keep giving!"
Before working with Louise I thought I had near-mastered the art of communicating, but she's invited me into a new world that I'm now exploring. My messaging is landing, and my connections and relationships are growing meaningfully. It's like we're unleashing a super power- it's a gift that will keep giving! While our sessions are over the phone and across the country, Louise has a warm presence that is felt. It's this warmth that fosters trust and openness, leading to personalized results: results that serve my company, my community, and my spirit. I'm very grateful to be learning and growing with Louise as my coach and confidant.
Brandon W.
Entrepreneur & Business Owner
"I always left meetings with her feeling excited, hopeful, and eager to employ the action steps. I highly recommend working with her if you're wanting to take your business to the next level."
Before coming to Louise, I wasn't using data to drive my business decisions. I was blind to the goals of my clients, blind to the satisfaction of my customers, and fearful of outcomes I had no business being fearful of. I was operating on hunches. Louise helped me develop a skill for gathering data and employing experimentation to improve quality in my service offering and drive engagement from my marketing efforts. I'm feeling super empowered by the information I now collect to be much more effective in helping my clients meet their goals. I really appreciate Louise's approach. I always left meetings with her feeling excited, hopeful and eager to employ the action steps. Louise makes an intentional effort to be a role model, and there's so much to learn from observing how she operates her own business. I highly recommend working with her if you're wanting to take your business to the next level.

Director
"The benefits of our work together have extended far beyond my own experience. I wish that I had started these sessions sooner!"
When I began my coaching journey with Louise, I felt nervous about discussing the aspects of my professional life that I perceived as failures or shortcomings. I was hesitant to add another voice to what I believed was a chorus of criticism. However, I quickly discovered a true partnership with someone who is deeply invested in my well-being and success. Meeting with Louise has since become the highlight of my week. What I value most is the ability to pivot during our sessions when we uncover a topic that holds greater impact. Each session with Louise offers a positive, attentive, and compassionate presence, paired with insightful and practical perspectives. Not to mention that there is always a smiling and supportive person opposite me. The benefits of our work together have extended far beyond my own experience. My team is now supported by a more present and engaged leader. By putting the tools and insights from our sessions into practice, I have strengthened my relationships with my team, built the trust and honesty essential for success, and embraced a coaching mindset that empowers others to grow, rather than simply directing them. I wish that I had started these sessions sooner!

"Whether you are just starting out or an experienced professional, Louise has what you need."
Louise has great insight and vast experience in the business of coaching and of life. Whether you are just starting out or an experienced professional, she has what you need. She puts her heart into everything she does. It has truly been a pleasure working with her.
Stephanie L.
Program & Membership Coordinator
"I was so impressed with Louise and her ability to listen to our needs, present information specifically about those needs, and remember so many details along the way."
We hired Louise as the keynote speaker for our event. Feedback from our participants was really positive - I was so impressed with Louise and her ability to listen to our needs, present information specifically about those needs, and remember so many details along the way. She brought such great energy and was very easy to listen to. Her insight, expertise, and ability to lead a conversation and have people come to their own conclusions is invaluable. This is our second year in a row with Louise and she's always a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be reaching out to her next year to see where we can continue to collaborate to build stronger leaders.

"I can confidently say that I'm now a better business person, a better mom and wife, and a better friend than I was before I did coaching with Louise."
I began working with Louise to help boost my self-confidence and gain clarity on my work and personal life. After speaking with a few potential life coaches and hesitating on committing to this investment, I knew right away that Louise was the one with her cheerful charming personality and her rich background and experience in coaching. Not only did she hit it out of the ballpark in helping me achieve the goals I had set out to do, she empowered and inspired me to see parts of myself that I never even knew existed. She asked difficult questions and helped me grow and stretch in an efficient, effective manner. I can confidently say that I am now a better business person, a better mom and wife, and a better friend than I was before I did coaching with Louise. Aside from her excellent communication skills and plethora of timely advice, one thing that she does brilliantly is asking for feedback and always trying to improve her own coaching- something that I rarely see other coaches do. It's evident that this is her passion and something she is great at. I'm very grateful and blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Louise and will happily recommend her to others.
