Book a consultation call with me to find out how I can help you advert the inevitable.

They don’t cause conflict.
They get their work done.
They’re polite, professional, quiet.

So you tolerate the silence.
But over time…

❌ Projects suffer
❌ Juniors dominate
❌ Mistakes go unchallenged
❌ Experience is sidelined

Your root problem isn't about grammar or pronunciation. It's about restoring your voice, reclaiming your power, and finding a safe pathway to visibility that honours your introversion rather than forcing you to be something you're not.

I get that.
Want to talk?

You're not just shy. You're a highly competent scientist quietly unravelling from the inside out, because your voice is stuck behind layers of fear, shame, and perfectionism.

I'm Louise, the mental chatter mediator. I help introverts use their mental chatter as a constructive force rather than a destructive one.

Because 'fluency under pressure' is different from fluency in any other situation.

Performance anxiety hijacks your brain; it's a completely normal response. But it’s also something that's frustrating not to mention embarrassing.

The good news? You can train yourself out of it.

You can read papers in English, write technical reports, understand what's going on in meetings and explain your research clearly one-on-one.

So why do you freeze when asked your opinion in meetings?

If this weren’t enough one study showed the purring sound also trigger endorphin release making us feel good.

How about you? Do you experience the same?

I’m Louise, I help introverted scientists gain the confidence to be seen and heard so they can get the recognition they deserve and desire.

Watching Mimi sleep and listening to her purr instantly takes the edge off my stress and makes me feel good.

Apparently, I’m not alone in my reaction. Studies have found that the frequency of cat purrs fall into the healing range of 25-140 Hz which has been shown to help bone and tendon healing.

I’m Louise, I help non-native speaking introverted scientists in the Pharma and Biotech industry gain the confidence to be seen and heard so they can get the recognition they deserve and desire.

If you had meetings on a beach, cocktail in hand, you'd never be lost for words...
So no, it’s not your vocabulary.
It’s your relationship with the situation that needs a to chill. 😎🍹

So have compassion with them all. Because what many people don't realise is that hating them and pushing them away only makes them grow more powerful.

The truth is when you have the courage to face them and understand why they're there, why they're running that monologue in your mind...

Is it a superior scolding you for your weakness?
Are they criticising you for not being enough?
Is it a subordinate pleading for forgiveness for their imperfection?
Or someone begging not to be forced to give that presentation?

𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂!

This means we don't have to spend time looking at what happened.

Instead we identify what they want now instead and find a way to experience that instead.

If you're still beating yourself up about the past and you want to start moving forward, I can help.

Some of my clients are still affected by events in their past. They've spent months, years sometimes looking back at the past and now they want to start looking to the future.

Introvert? Dreading interview?

6 week group course designed to help introverts to speak up with authenticity and represent their skills without feeling awkward.

Includes a session on reducing anxiety and building confidence allowing you to be yourself and get the job you deserve and desire.

"It's so important to have confidence best thing you can do is give people confidence, give them the wings to fly"

"The system works for old white men so they don’t see the bias"

"One of the responsibilities of men is to call it out, when women call it or they are seen as complaining"

Is the barrier self doubt or systemic bias?
Here are some opinions voiced by the panel that stood out to me.

"Both conscious and unconscious biases are causing problems and to solve the problem needs awareness and personal experience as well as curiosity for what the world holds."

Thank you to #Amgen for hosting #HBA event this week.

It was an enjoyable evening of interesting discussions on the challenges and strategies for women in leadership in the life sciences industry. Many questions were raised such as:

What's the real barrier for women in healthcare today?
