About
I speak about menopause in the workplace because it is one of the most significant workforce conversations that organizations are only just beginning to understand. Millions of experienced professionals are navigating perimenopause and menopause while continuing to lead teams, manage complex work, and contribute at a high level. Yet many organizations still lack the awareness and language to support them. My goal is not to make menopause a medical conversation at work. It is to help leaders understand the human and organizational impact of midlife transitions so they can respond with clarity, empathy, and practical support. In my talks, I combine leadership insight, coaching experience, and research-informed perspectives to help audiences understand what is happening and why it matters. I focus on real workplace implications: engagement, confidence, retention, leadership pipelines, and the experience of employees who may quietly feel like they are struggling alone. Audiences appreciate that I approach this topic with honesty, warmth, and respect. My goal is always to open the conversation in a way that feels constructive and empowering, leaving leaders and organizations better equipped to support their people and strengthen their culture.
From Fog to Focus: Why Menopause Is a Workplace Leadership Issue
Perimenopause and menopause are part of life for millions of working professionals, yet the workplace rarely acknowledges their impact. Changes in cognitive clarity, energy, sleep, and confidence can quietly affect performance, engagement, and career decisions at the very moment many employees hold senior expertise and leadership roles. In this keynote, Louise brings clarity to one of the most overlooked workforce realities. Through research, stories, and practical insight, she helps organizations understand why menopause matters at work and what thoughtful leaders can do to support experienced professionals through this stage of life. Audiences leave with a clearer understanding of how awareness, conversation, and small cultural shifts can strengthen retention, engagement, and leadership continuity.
Making SENSE of Perimenopause
Perimenopause often begins years before menopause itself, yet many professionals enter this stage with little information about what is happening in their bodies or how it may be affecting their work and daily life. This session introduces the S.E.N.S.E. Framework (Sleep, Exercise, Nutrition, Support, Empowered Mindset), offering practical insight into the changes that can occur during perimenopause and the ways individuals can support their health, clarity, and confidence through this transition. Participants gain a clearer understanding of what perimenopause can look like and practical tools for navigating this stage with greater awareness and support.
The Conversation We Haven’t Been Having: Menopause at Work
Menopause affects a significant portion of the workforce, yet it remains one of the least understood topics in professional environments. Many employees navigate symptoms quietly, unsure how to talk about what they are experiencing or how it may be affecting their work. This engaging Lunch & Learn opens the conversation in a thoughtful, accessible way. Participants gain a foundational understanding of menopause, its potential impact on work and wellbeing, and how awareness and supportive leadership can make a meaningful difference. This session helps organizations begin an important conversation while creating a culture where employees feel seen, supported, and able to continue contributing their expertise.
