This participatory workshop is part of a second series introducing Presence in Action to explore the power and implications of our use of language in our daily lives and professional practice.
Language illuminates, shapes and is shaped by all that we encounter, and by what we notice and ‘make’ of our encounters.
In each workshop we will focus on a commonly used phrase or verbal provocation and will explore our resonances and resistance to it. Louie will introduce aspects of Presence in Action, to show how this praxis can help us reveal the assumptions we may be making; and how these assumptions may point to non-conscious paradigms/worldviews that affect what we do and how we show up in the various contexts of our lives.
Each session will come vibrantly alive through participants actively engaging and sharing in whole group and break out conversations.

PhD, MBA, BA (hons), FRSA, Author, Poet; Accredited Supervisor and Master Coach, Change-maker, facilitator, learning partner.
Louie is passionately involved in liberating human potential, drawing upon the natural processing dynamics of ‘Presence in Action’ and ‘Symmathesic Agency’ which pulse at the heart of all she does with individuals, groups and organisations.
These accessible approaches for catalysing personal and systemic change tap into diverse modes of exploration and expression that leverage all that makes us human. Deploying a fusion of poetic, visual, kinaesthetic, intellectual and performative modalities, Louie tickles out authentic human exchange, invoking those who engage to surface their personal and collective brilliance.
Louie’s work is grounded in her doctorate which epitomises the integration of deep personal and collective inquiry; emergent symmathesic professional practice; coherent philosophical and theoretical foundations, and a pioneering approach to academic research.
Her past roles include CEO, Board Trustee, Head of Corporate Performance & Development; visiting lecturer to undergraduate and post-graduate degrees.
She has contributed articles to both academic and practice-based journals e.g. Human Arenas, Cybernetics and Human Knowing, e-O&P Journal, Coaching Today, the3rdi magazine, and Book Chapters in Coaching Supervision Groups: Resourcing Practitioners (2021); Coaching Supervision: Advancing Practice, Changing Landscapes (2019); and The Collaboratory (2015); poetry anthology Attending, Responding, Becoming: An anthology of surprises beyond intention or design (2021) see Louie’s website.
