Louise Evans - Behaviour Coach, Corporate Trainer, Author of ‘5 Chairs 5 Choices’

From childhood, Louise Evans has had a determination and an enthusiasm for life which has lead her to be the person she is today. Three things have always been dear to her heart: people, travel, and the Performing Arts. A large part of her happiness today comes from being able to combine all three in her daily work. English born of Welsh parents, she left home in her early 20’s to work in South France. This marked the beginning of her passion for travel which saw her later move to Germany and then on to Florence, Italy where she has lived since 1986 and which she considers her spiritual home. Her professional journey started in educational organizations offering language and communication training to the corporate world. This suited her well as she had developed skills in the Performing Arts since the age of 5. Her move to Italy marked the beginning of her life as an entrepreneur and as a serious world traveler. Her passion for exploring other cultures inspired her to specialize in Cross-Cultural Diversity Management and Global Leadership which she offers to multinational companies across the world as a facilitator, trainer, and coach. Having visited seven-five countries and experienced culture shock three times Louise enjoy bringing multiple perspectives to the present moment to help people connect across their differences. Personal development has always been central to her life. Her desire for constant self-improvement led her down the path of inner exploration and deep transformation in the presence of some extraordinary teachers such as Thich Nhat Hahn, Eckhart Tolle of The Power of Now and Marshall Rosenberg the founder of Non-Violent Communication. They inspired her to bring her own contribution to the world through her first book ‘5 Chairs, 5 Choices’, a ten-year project created to help leaders, teams and staff model behaviours for more inclusive workplaces where people can thrive and excel at what they do best. Louise believes deeply in people’s ability to grow and transform. She has been through it herself. Her passion now is to help others find the courage to ask themselves the questions they have never asked themselves in order to bring the very best of themselves into the world.
