Bio
Anton Stepanov
Louise was my coach for the Clifton Strengths Finder, and I could share only a positive experience working with her. During the coaching, we were able to identify my strengths and how I can improve the climate in my team through better work planning and clear communication. The coaching outcome is that I feel empowered and better prepared for new challenges. Also, I have a clear action plan to utilise my strengths more efficiently and boost the people’s potential in the team to a new limit. Louise is a potential enabler, and I will be honoured to work with her again.

I have had some business coaching sessions with Louise, where she encouraged me to track my output compared to my input in a simpler and more efficient way to help me understand where my business comes from and also areas identify that require addressing. Being in a client focussed business, she also helped me to build avatars for my clients to anticipate some of their concerns and needs. Thank you Louise!

Louise worked with me on identifying my motivators (and what does not motivate me!) in starting my own consulting business. Her approach was excellent using gentle questioning and listening skills to guide the discussion whilst maintaining a structure that helped us to identify relevant strengths. Even after a single session this helped me to identify key areas of my business plan that needed to be developed and has improved my approach to market and my personal confidence.
