Stop losing great people to poor leadership

Transform your technical managers into confident leaders who build humming teams where people stay and succeed.

When your managers nail the people part, they…

DEVELOP LEADERSHIP PRESENCE
(watch confidence soar)

SPARK TEAM MOMENTUM
(see collaborations flow)

BUILD HUMMING TEAMS
(where people choose to stay)

Here's what keeps HR leaders up at night…

I’ve seen many challenging work environments and they share some or all of these characteristics; resistance has become the norm, making change feel like an uphill battle. Initiatives often stall as teams resist and innovation gets stuck in the rut of "we've always done it this way." This creates a workplace filled with tension rather than possibility, leading to the quiet departure of valued team members. Each departure triggers waves of doubt, and the ongoing recruitment cycles drain energy. As drama takes centre stage, minor tensions snowball into major headaches, with teams choosing sides over solutions. Focus and energy are misdirected into problems instead of fostering progress…Does this sound familar?

This is where the Manager to Leader Method™ transforms workplace tension into humming teams

The Manager to Leader Method™ (Transforming technical managers into confident people leaders).

  • Transform how managers handle uncertainty. Watch them shift from avoiding tough conversations to confidently guiding their teams through change.

  • Help managers understand what drives their people. Create spaces where team members speak up because they feel heard and valued.

  • When meaningful conversations become routine, collaboration flows naturally. Teams support each other, share ideas freely, and celebrate shared wins.

I've helped transform leaders at:

  • Westpac Group

  • Dairy Australia

  • Pacific National

  • CHANEL

  • Nike

I bring expertise in:

  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming

  • Accelerated Learning

  • DiSC behavioural profiling

  • LSI 360 Feedback

  • ECD Emotional Culture Practitioner

I've seen how technically skilled managers struggle with workplace dynamics.

You know they have potential, but without the right people skills, small ripples become waves that affect everyone—from quiet resignations to mounting team tension.

Read these real stories of transformation

  • A program that actually made me commit to change.

    "This is the first leadership course that has actually made me commit to making the changes, I have felt engaged the whole way through." 

    - Courtney Munro-Thompson, Operations Manager

    Already become part of their daily norm.

    "Before starting the program, my fear was how to ensure that the team continue to reflect and use the tools that were provided in the workshop on an ongoing basis.

    After this final integration meeting, I'm confident this will and has already become part of their daily norm to reflect and keep moving forward." 

    - Simone Wheeler, Chief Operating Officer

  • Our team now approaches challenging situations with confidence.

    “I highly recommend Louise. Our team have enjoyed the sessions that she facilitated and are implementing the training and new approaches to effectively manage difficult conversations.

    We are all approaching challenging situations with more confidence, and this is testament to the sessions with Louise.” 

    – Justine Dorrell, Talent & Culture Manager

  • From self-doubt to daily confidence with tools that work.

    "Before starting the program, I was concerned I wouldn't be able to bring the tools to life and would sound inauthentic.

    Louise gave me simple, usable tools that I still use every day, and she provides information that sticks. This has boosted my confidence significantly, impacting me both personally and professionally." 

    - Crystal Lainchbury, Retail District Manager

"Before starting the program, my fear was how to ensure that the team continued to reflect and use the tools that were provided in the workshop on an ongoing basis.

After this final integration meeting, I'm confident this will and has already become part of their daily norm to reflect and keep moving forward.

- Simone Wheeler, Chief Operating Officer, Better Medical

The reality check–
let’s be real…

Being brilliant at the technical stuff doesn't come with a secret leadership manual. (Spoiler alert: it never does!) That's why I created the Manager to Leader Method™ - helping your managers create positive team dynamics through everyday interactions.

I've watched too many good people leave organisations because their managers weren't equipped to lead. It doesn't have to be this way.

Here’s how I do it:

  • I help managers expand their leadership flexibility, equipping them with practical skills for bumpy times

  • I guide them in building genuine connections - where team members feel heard and safe to speak up

  • I show them how to create collaborative conversations that energise people to contribute their best work
