Leadership coaching, keynote speaking & workshops
(Because your work won't speak for itself)
Louise Thompson
Executive Coach,
Keynote Speaker, Facilitator on
Women in Leadership
You did what you were told. Be helpful, work hard, never say no. And now you're the most capable person in the room, but NOT the one people turn to as a strategic advisor. (And you're buried in busyness...)
That's not a confidence problem. It's positioning.
I'm a former board-level Director of Communications. For years I thought I was struggling with confidence. I wasn't. It was conditioning, the kind that teaches capable, expert women to be useful rather than visible, and to accept that most corporate cultures weren't built for women to lead in.
Now I help senior women change that through coaching, and I work with organisations to spot the same patterns, so their female leaders can thrive.
Clients include Google, NHS, Lloyds Bank, Activision, Charlotte Tilbury and more globally.
Let's get to work.
Coaching
One-to-one coaching for senior women in leadership roles. You're tired of being overlooked, despite being the most capable, expert person in the room.
And you deserve to be seen as a strategic, credible leader (because you are, but you're doubting yourself.)
Speaking
Keynote speaking on women in leadership and the role that gendered conditioning plays in keeping our most talented female leaders from reaching their full potential. (It's a culture and conditioning problem, not a "female" problem.)
Ideal for conferences, executive offsites, leadership programmes and women's corporate networks.
Workshops
Masterclasses and workshops for leadership teams and women's networks.
As a former Board-level Director of Communications, I run pragmatic yet strategic workshops on topics including:
-
Leadership communication
-
Executive presence
-
Leading change
-
Tackling gendered conditioning as leadership culture
-
Achieving the shift from "doer" to "leader"
How we can work together
You're brilliant, but busy. And that's a leadership trap.
-
You're a female leader that desperately wants to "embody" your leadership role, but are unsure about what it takes?
-
Are you stuck in the "busy trap" because you've been told that's how to make yourself look valuable? (It's NOT - get my FREE FRIDAY RESET HERE and escape it for good.)
-
Are you experiencing imposter syndrome? Second guessing your decisions and struggling with your confidence?
-
Do you struggle with articulating the work that you do in business terms? Do other leaders find it hard to see the value in what you deliver?
-
Are you often left out of critical discussions about strategy and left wondering how you can break into the inner leadership circle?
-
Perhaps you have excellent technical skills but are struggling with the transition from "doer" to "leader"?
Sound familiar? I've been there too.
And I'm ready to help.
As a former board-level director of Communications, I've been in your shoes.
Moving from someone that "does", to someone that leads.
My coach helped me understand who I was as a leader. What it felt like to be led by me.
They gave me a safe space to explore my strengths and reflect on challenges.
And challenged me to dig deep - closing my "leadership gap".
Their support prevented me from flaming out. And burning out.
Now as a qualified coach myself, I'm here to support you in the same way.
