Originally from the United Kingdom and now calling New Zealand home, Louise's journey has been characterised by her unwavering commitment to leading change. As a seasoned program manager in the realm of I.T., Louise has an exceptional ability to navigate complexity, delivering change and transformation within organisations. Twenty years ago, she qualified as a life coach with The Coaching Academy in London, and for half of that time, has been developing what she considers a powerful model for personal transformation, MyNine Ways. Louise believes that the greatest work of our lives is to get back to who we are and become all that we can be—to be our best selves and live our best lives. Or, perhaps better said, to do the work of becoming our best, leading to better, happier, healthier, wealthier, and more successful lives, as the word "best" implies a definitive peak or finality often associated with achieving something. Louise is driven by the idea that when we are at our best, we give our best, and we change the world for the better. Investing in our personal growth and well-being will not only benefit us but also make the most positive contribution to the world. We become the change-makers, the inspirers, and the uplifters in our communities and beyond. We are then the models of the compassionate, driven, and empowered individuals the world needs. By creating a ripple effect of positivity that touches the lives of those around us, we lead lives we love and help others to do the same. Wholly Naomi is written with this mission in mind. Naomi, a woman grappling with an overwhelming sense of emptiness and disconnection from her life, discovers a book that guides her through nine ways of showing up and being present in her life, each marked by a number with life-changing qualities. Louise intertwines storytelling with life coaching, making "Wholly Naomi" a must-read for those on their own path to self-discovery and well-being. A heartwarming tale, it promises to inspire and empower its readers. In Louise's words: "Since my young adulthood, I've been compelled by the notion of 'being our best.' What does it mean? How do we find it, be it? How does it shape our role in the world, who we are, and what we do with our time here? Wholly Naomi is me reaching out - to express, to tell, and share myself with you wholeheartedly. I'm really hoping that if you find yourself on a similar journey, you'll reach out to connect with me so we can walk this path together. I'd love for you to read my book, 'Wholly Naomi,' and even better, let me know you're here. As a corporate change consultant and aspiring life coach, 'Wholly Naomi' is my creative expression of who I am and what is important to me. I have fallen in love with the character Naomi, and now that I've finished the book, I miss her! I believe there is a Naomi inside all of us, and I'm sure I shall meet her as I find her readers."
