Back in 2014 I was in the Telstra Australian Business Woman of
The Year Awards which was one of the most exciting and awesome
things I’ve ever been part of as a business owner. After winning
the State Awards, each state winner was all flown to the Nationals
for a couple of days of development and networking before the
actual ceremony which was by far, more valuable than anything else.
I got to meet some of the most interesting women, many of which I’m
still friends with now.
Of course, for a lot of us, it was one of the biggest things we’d
ever been a part of and the awards program did everything they
could to ensure that we were prepared.
That’s where I met today’s guest, Dr Louise Mahler. Louise was
bought in basically so we didn’t embarrass ourselves on the big
screen and stage! She ran through our acceptance speeches, how to
control our voices while we freaking out on the inside if we were
lucky enough to be called as the winner, we even ran through how to
walk onto the stage with confidence and without tripping over!
It’s funny, if you watch my acceptance speeches on youtube from the
State awards and then the National awards, you can see the massive
difference. I actually love the state one because it’s so raw and
you can see the shock and excitement just jump right out of me. The
National winner was so much more measured, obviously excited as
fuck, but I said the right things and it was a lot more polished.
I’l link to them in the show notes in case you want to see 29 year
old me quote Celine Dion in a business speech :)
So that takes me to Louise.
What sets her apart is her winning mix of body language, vocal
intelligence and mental patterning to coach executives to deal with
difficult, and often hostile, daily scenarios such as stressful
boardroom confrontations, media interviews and staff
interaction.
Louise is a crazy smart woman and a business heavy weight with a
PhD in business, Bachelor of Economics, Master of Applied
Management in Service Management and Innovation, and Master
Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming.
She is a highly sought-after media commentator on leadership, body
language and effective presentation with regular appearances on TV,
radio and print. She has a series of videos on the Australian
Financial Review website and she has a global social media
following.
She’s a super successful speaker all around the world and we
reconnected again when Covid 19 hit and Louise rang to take all of
her leadership training and vocal and body language coaching,
online. Now, she has super successful online programs that we were
able to help her bring to life.
