“Everyone can learn something new from Louise, from the beginner at public speaking to the accomplished professional who does it every day for a living. Because she has found a new and fresh bag of tricks we all enjoy trying out – again and again – to become sharper, more convincing and inspiring. To let our true self and potential to surface. Suddenly the horrors of being on show become fun. Go on – try a few and then you’ll want more.”

“Dr Louise Mahler spoke at our annual Leadership Conference in October 2017. There were about 160 attendees from across Australia and New Zealand. Her presentation was not only very interesting, it was extremely entertaining. It is not easy to get a bunch of senior managers, most of whom have engineering or finance backgrounds, to get involved in a session like this, but Dr Mahler achieved it wonderfully. Importantly, there were clear messages for people to take away to help them in their leadership roles. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Mahler as someone who will not only provide variety to your conference (that is, a shift from focusing on your organisation) but will add a dose of energy with very valuable insights into the important skill of effective communication.”
