REGISTER SOON
The lack of employee engagement is a billion-dollar problem. It costs billions of dollars worldwide in lost productivity and employee turnover. We know that one of the main drivers of an employee’s engagement in an organization is their manager. As a manager, if you can coach as part of your day-to-day interactions to improve your ability to engage your team, you can make a big impact. This empowering session with Louise Lee will cover some fundamentals so you can bring out the best in yourself AND your team.
About our speaker:
Within 2 years of starting her career in England, Louise’s powers over team dysfunction were recognized and she quickly ascended the ranks through leadership and management roles. By age 30, she had completely transformed her flailing department of 60 people and saved her company $6M. She now applies her passion for leadership, coaching, and teaching in her company Louise Lee Coaching and Consulting to help companies save millions of dollars by transforming dysfunctional teams.
She’s taught and coached professionals and creatives in project management, leadership, and team-working skills for over a decade. Having 15+ years of leadership and collaboration experience through corporate business work, director-level positions, and her orchestral and ensemble playing as a professional violinist, she’s in a unique position to help you realize your potential to manage and lead from your heart as well as your head, and to get the most for you in the areas that matter to you.
Louise is a huge believer in the human potential for transformation and change, and that everyone wants to be the best version of themselves. She brings that passion to her work with you. She works with individuals like you using certified frameworks and processes to help you let go of what’s been holding you back so that you can shift gears and rise up into the version of yourself and your life you always knew you were capable of living. Live life powerfully and live a life you love!
