Louise Buckle

Louise began her passion for person-centred learning as a Further Education Lecturer. She spent 3 years running leadership development in an NHS Trust following which she established her own coaching practice assisting doctors and other health professionals in the transition to leadership roles. Louise then moved to HayGroup where she extended her client base and began executive coaching. In 2009 she joined KPMG as a Lead Internal Coach. After being promoted through a range of leadership roles, both in the UK and internationally, she concluded her time there as EMA Head of Learning, where she led the EMA team through the pandemic while progressing a Global Growth Project focussed on the capabilities of the top 200 global account leaders.

Louise has consistently found herself the trusted advisor or coach to the key leaders around her. She is valued for her work aligning complex systems especially in non-traditional hierarchies, where politics and networks are as important as accountabilities.  She does this by taking a personal and human lens first, using enquiry action research, partner counselling, executive coaching and leadership team development interventions to connect people, purpose and strategy.

As a coach Louise is systemic and relationship-oriented, providing a quality of attention, space and curiosity that enables her clients to work through their challenges with bravery.  Clients describe Louise as challenging, supportive, good humoured, insightful, and creative. They consistently report leaving sessions energized to take the next step. Clients appreciate her practical understanding of the reality of professional careers, leadership, and strategic challenges in their complex worlds.
