Executive Leadership Programs

Have greater gravitas for better leadership, confidence and impact

GRAVITAS MASTERCLASS

In this highly interactive, engaging and fun one-day masterclass, world-class leadership communication expert Dr Louise Mahler offers theory and interaction-based strategies designed to help win the hearts and minds of those you’re communicating with.

Louise’s signature workshop is based on her research and work from her best selling book ‘Gravitas’. You’ll have the opportunity to see better – in fact, incredible changes! Learn how to best utilise your voice, body and breath for awesome and actionable outcomes.

WOMEN WITH GRAVITAS: elevate your influence and communicate under pressure

This dynamic program focuses on developing executive presence, effective communication skills, and holding gravitas under pressure. Participants will engage in interactive sessions, real-world simulations, and discussions to refine their gravitas, boost confidence, and navigate the complex corporate world with poise.

Ideal for organisations looking to develop their pipeline of female leaders, this workshop empowers participants to command respect, inspire trust, and drive organisational success.

HARD CHAT: A leader’s guide to handling difficult emotional situations in business

Handling difficult emotional conversations is an art that needs clear knowledge of analysing conversation, clear response frameworks and a complete command of your physicality and voice.

Dr Louise Mahler’s award-winning PhD has made her a thought leader in high-stake engagement under fire. You’ll walk away feeling like you can handle anything thrown at you under pressure.

PRESENCE AND INFLUENCE: For leaders who need to inspire and engage

The future is steaming ahead on a track of continued digital innovation, but ‘mind the gap’. Between the fast-moving juggernaut of change and the platform of skills to cope is the ever-present ever-widening chasm of interpersonal skills to inspire and engage.

This program will address your body language and paralinguistics (voice) as well as how you handle yourself while listening, entering a room, starting a conversation or simply sitting in a meeting or on a pane. You’ll wail away with practical skills you can active today!

EXECUTIVE PRESENTING: One-on-one, in the boardroom and on stage

We all present our ideas, our requests or products every day of our life, from the lift conversation to webinars and the international stage.

This is a program for industry experts and leaders who want to take presentation to the next level.

We address the scourge of Performance Anxiety by working with Dr Mahler’s decades of personal study and stage experience to get to the bottom of what you need to move forward

Testimonials

"I cannot thank Louise enough – the skills she gave me early on are now fully ingrained and a critical part of all my communications in every setting from one-on-ones, through board meetings to big external events; from shift workers to prime ministers. I feel Louise gave me a wonderful advantage that helps my authentic- self come through in all my interactions (business and personal), that few of my peers have. I cannot thank Louise enough for the power she has given me: she has been a material addition to my happiness, success and potential."

“Dr Louise Mahler is one of the most remarkable individuals I have ever come across by virtue of her multiple and diverse skillsets, sense of humour and generosity in sharing her many pearls of wisdom! She has distilled the art of communication into succinct components to achieve both effective and engaging interaction with audiences of any size. Her advice is relevant to both personal and professional contexts, face-to-face or online formats. No one should miss the opportunity to learn from Louise!” “Am at the meeting day with the Board, as we practise it is really well received. One woman has come up to me and said “That was fabulous! You’ve changed since I last saw you speak”

“I highly recommend working with Louise Mahler to help you transform how you speak professionally. Most of my career has been communicating to highly technical people and as my role changed, I had to change my style of communication. I knew what I had to say, and Louise coached me on how to present it and highlighted all my bad habits that meant I communicated mixed messages.”

"I love working with professionals who are masters in their area and Dr. Louise Mahler is a master when it comes to communication skills. In preparation for a series of keynote presentations, I had the pleasure of working with Louise in one-on-one coaching. She helped me to identify additional elements I could incorporate in my presentation and communication techniques. Her attention to detail is second to none. Even small adjustments she recommended, made a big difference. I am delighted to have been able to work with Louise in person. I live overseas and had to wait several months to combine an upcoming trip to Australia with a coaching session with her. And it was all worth the wait."

“Louise brings the oratory wisdom of the ages to bear on your specific presentation needs. Generous with her knowledge, humorous, and deft with the issues that need tweaking, working with Louise is an absolute joy. I've seen her work and her magic on participants in group masterclass settings, and have benefited enormously from her executive coaching. After a presentation I worked on with Louise, I was approached for another speaking opportunity! No better litmus test for the impact of a high-stakes address. The skills practised reach into all areas of communication, which has been an unexpected advantage. The strength of Louise's knowledge distilled into practice goes beyond inspiring and engaging, it is transformational.”

“My presentation went beautifully after our coaching. Everyone came to me and said “You look like a natural”, even the photographer. The tips you gave me were so practical and I’d never heard them before! Incredible! Thank you so much”
