I'm Louise Barnes-Johnston and I'm a business coach, life coach, online marketing advisor and
trainer, based on Hayling Island, which is on the south coast of England. However, thanks to internet technology I can work with clients right around the world!
During my 20 year corporate career, which included working for companies such as Marconi and Toshiba (UK), I was responsible for improving the motivation, communication skills and performance of the sales and customer service staff I worked with.
I believe the skills and experience gained from my earlier career influence and guide my work today in business coaching and training. Both involve interacting with people, understanding complex situations and helping individuals and organisations make difficult changes that lead to lasting and positive results.
As the owner of a small business for over 10 years, a lot of my work is as a business and marketing mentor, both for start up and growing small businesses. What I love about business coaching is that, while no two clients are the same, they are all wonderfully enthusiastic about the possibilities ahead!
I was interviewed in 2009 about how I came to be a business coach, and asked to give tips for small business owners starting up and running businesses online - you can listen to the recording here:
I have worked with many organisations and professional groups including:
Business Link; Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce (accredited trainer); Portsmouth Junior Chamber; Southdowns College; Chartered Management Institute; Southern Entrepreneurs (Eastleigh District Council); South Hants Enterprise Agency and Chichester College (keynote speaker)
My Qualifications and Accreditations include:
BTEC in Business Studies
Accredited Life Coach (Distinction)
Diploma in Business Performance Coaching
Accredited Senior Coach with The European Coaching Institute
Certified Practitioner of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)
