A different way to develop leaders
1:1 Coaching
We also provide 1:1 leadership coaching for individuals and organisations who want space to
think, reflect and explore their leadership more deeply.
Group Coaching
A structured group coaching programme for people who are responsible for others, or
preparing to be, and want to lead them well.
Self-Directed Learning
UQ Leaders: Self-Directed provides access to the core content and reflection materials for
those who want to begin independently.
BESPOKE COACHING
When leadership development needs to be personal
Not every leadership challenge fits neatly into a programme. Bespoke coaching gives individuals and organisations space to think, reflect and work through specific leadership goals, challenges or transitions.
Whether someone is stepping into leadership, navigating change, building confidence or developing how they lead others, coaching can be shaped around what they need most.

Meet Louise
Working towards a more
confident and comfortable you.
The best leader you can be is you. I’m passionate about working with people who understand that who you are is just as important as what you do.
Through UQ, I help leaders develop the confidence, character and self-awareness to be more themselves, communicate clearly, connect genuinely with others, and grow both personally and professionally.
