Louise van Haarst

Louise is a versatile and in-demand executive coach, team coach and leadership trainer. She works in partnership with coaching clients to examine how they see themselves, how others experience them, and to identify both their great strengths and the behaviours that need to change. 

A conflict and courageous communication specialist, Louise believes in taking a human-centred approach to leadership and helps businesses to foster positive cultures that create high-performing, happy teams using targeted, energetic training and development. 

Louise’s strengths lie in getting to the heart of personal roadblocks and team dynamics quickly, and she is experienced in supporting clients at all levels of seniority to thrive and grow through times of exceptional instability and uncertainty. 

Louise brings to her work 20 years’ experience of driving transformation in the voluntary and international NGO worlds, often navigating strategic emergencies, challenging cultures and persistent performance problems. Louise combines a highly strategic, analytical and pragmatic style with warmth, humour and an enthusiasm to drive action and make real change.
