THE TALK: INVITE ME TO SPEAK
The Purpose-Led Adventure
Because Purpose Is Not A Destination. It Is A One Of A Kind Journey.
The Purpose-Led Adventure is my signature talk about navigating pivotal moments and how purpose actually works. It can be included as a keynote, an online event or as part of a podcast.
Overview Of The Talk
We are at a pivotal moment where we are being called to upgrade the operating system on the planet. For many of us this is triggering a pivotal moment of our own where we are asking deeper questions about our life, work and leadership. And wondering what our purpose is now and how we can have a positive impact at this time.
Most people think that purpose is a destination - getting that perfect job, joining that perfect NGO or setting up their perfect business. That is what I thought too when I started on my own quest for purpose twenty four years ago.
But that is not actually how purpose works. I tried most things you try when looking for your purpose. I did a career change, took a sabbatical, was an internal change agent, set up three businesses, worked in a start up for renewable energy, did the laptop lifestyle thing, lived in a ski resort, did India and worked with the Dalai Lam and his team on the new economy.
What I have learnt is that purpose is not a destination. It is the adventure of evolving the world by being uniquely yourself. Not an easy quest, but definitely a worthwhile one.
In this inspiring talk, I speak about what this purpose-led adventure is and what it takes - to include
- The Three Stories: My three defining experiences and what they have taught me about purpose.
- The Three Lessons: The three shifts in how to think and approach your purpose.
- The Three Actions: What you can do to start on your purpose journey now.
'The IMD MBA'14 class had the opportunity to enjoy Louise's positive and inspiring message. With a practical approach supported by her personal experience, we were able to start digging for our peak moments and our meaning in life. Louise, thank you so much for sharing your gift with us!'

THE WORKSHOP: START A NEW CONVERSATION
The Purpose-Led Mindset
Explore The New Rules Of Purpose And Positive Impact At This Pivotal Time On The Planet.
The Purpose-Led Mindset is my signature workshop - to start a new conversation about purpose. Specifically, on how the world of purpose and positive impact is evolving for these pivotal times. And what that means for your people, your teams and your organisations. It can be run as part of your team event, infuse pioneering and transformative thinking into your impact programme and bring new inspiration to your leadership retreats.
Overview Of The Workshop
These are no ordinary times - we are shifting systems. As a result, the world seems very chaotic. At its core it is a mirror of the ending of a system that has proven itself to be unsustainable. As a new system is slowly emerging in the wings, we are each being invited to consider how we will contribute to the world that is to come next.
In this, lies the untapped opportunity for each of us to lead the way to a new better future - whether we are a corporate leader, social entrepreneur or humanitarian. But how do you make the most of these new possibilities in your day to day living, working and leading?
This is where The Purpose-Led Mindset comes in. We can't use old maps to build a new world. So our perception and practice of purpose and changemaking needs to evolve - to be fit for the times we are in. Our new quest is to create a new reality. As such we have to upgrade our very own operating system to be able to do that.
In essence, the Purpose-Led Mindset maps the software update we need to give ourselves to make quantum leaps. So that we can bring the level of depth, scale and speed of transformation that we need now. Ultimately, shifting from being the good soldiers of the old status quo to becoming the leaders of the new future we actually want to see next.
In this thought-provoking workshop we will explore:
- The New Quest: What is the new human adventure we are being called to and what does that mean for your purpose?
- The New Roadmap: What are the 3 core shifts to create inner fulfilment, meaningful work and worthwhile leadership at this time?
- The New Compass: How can you start playing your part in the transition by igniting your potential, actualising your purpose and up-levelling your impact?
