About Louise
I believe strongly in the myriad of possibilities that life has to offer, and through my writing hope that others feel empowered and excited by their own potential. I aim to inspire you to recognize more opportunities, and to see less barriers. I believe that you hold your answers, and the key to finding your own sense of flourishing and fulfillment. My writing aims to inspire you to re-discover your strengths, and to use them more in your personal and professional life. I aim to motivate you to set exciting goals, and to identify the behaviors and habits to achieve them.
Background:
Over the last 24 years I have worked in sales, marketing, customer service, management and leadership roles. I run a Promotional Gifting business, and over the years have thrived in the creative, collaborative and customer-focused environment of my industry. I believe in positivity, productivity and engagement as key drivers for work and life contentment. Running my own business has given me the freedom to experiment with different performance and productivity techniques, with valuable lessons learned along the way. Outside of work, I love the energy of regular exercise, the challenge of reading and writing non-fiction, the relaxation of music, the escapism of being in nature, and the comfort of spending quality time with friends and family.
Qualifications:
A Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing from the University of South Africa, a Post Graduate Diploma in Brand Management from The Triple A School of Advertising, a Certificate in Executive Coaching from the University of Cape Town, a five part course in Positive Psychology through Coursera, and I’m currently completing a Bachelor of Arts in Literature through the Open University in the UK. I’m also continually reading and learning in my areas of interest - see my Book Summaries section for some shared insights!
My Personal Values: Mindfulness and Wellness; Care and Truth, Creativity and Growth, Family and Gratitude.
