Find your Voice
Have You Been Trying To Get Your Message Out To The World?
Do You Recognise The Importance Of Content Creation But You Just Can't Bring Yourself To Make Videos?
Or...Do You Just Feel Like You Need To Be More Heard In The World?
You are not alone! Do these situations feel familiar to you?
* When the camera is rolling you get incredibly nervous and you lose your voice.
* When you record, your 'personality' decides it doesn't want to be a part of the recording.
* You feel like you become someone else in your recordings.
* You feel like you lose your enthusiasm in the recording but strangely...what you are talking about is what you love the MOST in the world!
* You don't like the sound of your own voice.
* You know A LOT about your subject area, you know you can help but...you just don't seem to be able to get your voice out there.
Note: This training is not only for those who want to get their message out to the online world. It is also for those who just want to be more 'heard' at work, at home or in social settings.

About Louise - Your Facilitator...
Louise has a background of 15 years in the corporate world across Australia, The Middle East and Asia. She is a specialist in Marketing and Communications. Throughout her career she has worked with many senior executives to identify their brand, find their message and take it to market (no matter how technical the content).
Louise started her public speaking/debating 'career' at the age of 12 and hasn't stopped talking ever since. She has also run an extensive number of panels across both corporate and non-corporate events and has also organised and run many large-scale events.
Helping people find their voice and communicate their message (succinctly) is one of Louise's most treasured things to do! She finds it so incredibly rewarding and loves to see how fast her clients can develop and step into their voice. Anyone can do it and it won't take long!
Hear from those who have worked with Louise...
"I signed up for 'Find your Voice' coaching sessions with Louise because I felt that I was ready to share more of myself and my work with the world. Knowing though that this would be a big step for me, and having experienced Louise speaking so naturally and passionately to her own audience, I felt that she would be the right person to guide be through this process. And I was right, Louise is a gem! While celebrating and pointing out my strengths to me, she equally gave me valuable feedback on the things which I could improve on an get better at so that I felt both, very much seen in the skills I already had but also gently encouraged to enhance in areas where there was room for improvement . And all the way through she’s been cheering me on with her big loving heart. I would recommend working with Louise to anyone who is looking for bringing their voice to the world and who would like a steady, loving and experienced person in public speaking such as Louise by her side. It’s so much more enjoyable than trying to do it all alone."
Corinne, Soul-based Coach & founder of raw & rich
"I have worked with Louise on ‘Finding My Voice’ for several interviews. She’s absolutely amazing! When I moved it Asia I was told that I had to give presentations and speak at media events - things I absolutely hate doing. The first couple of events I did I felt were horrible. I consulted with Louise, and it was a game changer. She really helped me to focus on the key messages I needed to get across. My preparation for media events and speeches have radically since then. Louise helped me break down and simplify my messaging into neat digestible blocks. Now, I actually enjoy speaking at events and giving presentations! She is a consummate professional and I highly recommend her."
David Ho - Head of Financial Lines - Asia at AIG
'Working with Louise is quite simply an amazing experience. Her commitment and passion for supporting individuals to flourish in a way that’s truly authentic to them is energising and impactful. As a founder, you are driven by your purpose and the difference you want to make but need that to drive business results. Louise gets this. Every conversation we had was about how to use my message to drive my business offer, in a natural and powerful way. She helped me to gain both focus and momentum. It’s true when she says she’s watching you out in the world . . . she continues to advocate for me, give me feedback, and keeps me inspired!'
Jennifer Woollford - Founder and Director - NEON Leaders
"Louise and I worked together to prepare for several interviews and speaking engagements. It was really amazing to see and learn how structuring her message and being really clear on ‘what success looks like’ can make such a difference. The training was fast but so effective and I now have skills that I will use for many years to come. I highly recommend this training to anyone who is looking to better understand their brand and their message to take it forward to the market, customer, team, media and much more."
Cynthia Sze - Head of Financial Lines at Hong Kong and Greater China, AIG
"Just a quick note to say how happy I’ve been with Louise’s very straight forward, quick witted 'Find your voice' program.
I started a fashion label 18 months ago and felt it was time to organise some bigger events to get the message out. However, despite having worked as a journalist for more than 20 years, I never felt quite comfortable talking about myself on stage. I had seen Louise in her previous position as a marketing executive, speaking on behalf of her blue chip company in front of a huge audience – so when she announced the start of her Find Your Voice Program, I knew I had found my master and hired her immediately.
She started every session well prepared and showed incredible listening skills. Afterwards, she would always send me a prompt recap that showed a plan of what the next steps would be. She also included homework which I was to do at my own pace. After the second session I already felt ready to organise my overdue events – and I asked her if she would be available to be present as my interviewer on stage. Which is exactly what we did. Thanks so much lovely Louise! Its always a pleasure playing brain ping pong with you!"
Lisa von Ortenberg, LvO Boutique/ Hong Kong
"I worked with Louise for over 5 years. Under her guidance, we significantly increased the exposure and awareness of our capabilities and products and our team solidified their message and voice; all skills that brought immense value to the team on many levels. Louise continuously suggested new and exciting ways for us to move the business forward and always managed to do so with a high, engaging and enthusiastic attitude."
Jason Kelly - Head of International Financial Lines, AIG
A closer look at the program...
Step One:
Establish your brand
"Your brand is the single most important investment you can make in your business"
Steve Forbes, Forbes Magazine
Many underestimate the power of understanding who they are and what they stand for. It doesn't take long to establish who you are once you go through the process to solidify it and...once you have done this...it is so very important to make sure you communicate your brand in everything that you do!
When you stand for something. When you are something to someone, they know who you are and what you can do for them (and others). A powerful and crucial part of the process!
Step Two:
Find your message
What do you have to say (& how can you consistently say it)?
"Your life is your message to the world, make it inspiring"
Anonymous
What is it that you want to share with the world? What is your message? Where do you want to focus?
This is so incredibly important. People need to know who you are and what you specialise in. Then...with time...you will become the go-to for that particular area (if you communicate your message right).
This is a process of building and elimination. Once complete, you will be very clear on what you stand for and who you are and also...understand how strategic repetition is important and so incredibly effective.
Step Three:
The Dos & Don'ts & Practice!
Let's get you speaking! Practice does make perfect!
"The human voice is the most perfect instrument of all"
Arvo Part
Now it's time to play (aka practice!). We will work together to find your voice, your tone and your pizzaz, and bring you confidently to the world with practice. We will be recording and playing back your recordings together so we can observe, improve and execute.
This isn't always a comfortable process BUT...I will be there to support you the entire way through and I promise we will have fun together.
The best part of this is how people can see how far they have come in such a short period of time. I have seen this again and again in my career. It is SO empowering for the individual and...such a pleasure for me to be a part of!
Step Four:
Go out to the world!
Let's get you speaking! Practice does make perfect!
“Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.”
Maya Angelou
The world is waiting to hear you, and I’ll be right there as you go out to the world. In the
initial stages, I’ll be watching you and giving you feedback, PLUS I’ll be there to
encourage you and make sure you put your training into play! Seeing you out there
putting your new skills into play confidently and successfully will be my main aim for
you!
LET'S DO THIS...
I have been doing this work in the corporate world for 15 years and I am so thrilled to bring this to the world.
I understand that timetables vary for everyone. I have worked with corporates who can only squeeze in sessions at night or on weekends, with mothers who want to work together during the day when their family is out and with entrepreneurs who have much more flexible arrangements. No matter your timetable, we can make it work.
The Price will include:
1. 4 x 1-hour private one-on-one sessions with Louise to talk brand, message, do's and don'ts and practice (practice, practice)!
2. Practice recordings sent to Louise to critique and come back to discuss with you.
3. Support from Louise in the initial phases as you take 'the New You' out to the world!
