Dr. Louise Mahler
The foremost expert in the psychology of face-to-face engagement.
Profile
A rare breed as one of the world’s leading keynote speakers, Dr Louise Mahler has been voted in the top experts in both Body Language and Communication globally. Highly qualified with multiple degrees and masters, Louise has a PhD in Business, focusing on Leadership Communication, official member of Forbes Coaches Council 2023 and was awarded the title of Adjunct Professor.
Obsessed with creating exceptional human connection, Louise helps leaders and teams to elevate their body language, and voice and divulges the algorithms of engagement in high-stakes engagement. While her tools and techniques are useful, practical and highly relevant, she is best known on-stage and in the media for her in-the-moment, deeply insightful analysis and hilarious impersonations of world leaders.
Her skills in translating and articulating how leaders communicate create a powerful world-class, incredibly engaging and interactive experience that delegates often say is “life-changing”. From Brisbane to Vienna and around the globe, Dr Louise Mahler has given voice a good name. She combines the skills gained from 15 years of an international opera-singing career, with insider knowledge of the corporate world and academic study, to help people from all walks of life express themselves through voice – to find their true, full voice and use it!
In her Resonate book, she demonstrates that your mind, body and voice are inextricably linked. By approaching voice through an understanding of the whole body, Louise explains how your state of mind determines the way you hold your body, how your feelings resonate through your voice and how this sequence ultimately influences the efficacy of your communication. She explains the most common ways people react to nerves or excitement, as well as how your listeners respond to your voice and gestures – and how to use these to communicate more powerfully.
Louise recently published her latest book, Gravitas: Timeless Skills to Communicate with Confidence and Build Trust. Whether you are in a one-on-one meeting or in front of a large crowd, how your message is received depends on how you present yourself, in both voice and manner. To do this, you need gravitas. Gravitas unpacks essential speaking skills, strategies and techniques that leaders can use to communicate effectively. It combines the wisdom of the ancients with modern leadership principles and Dr. Mahler’s experience of working with leaders and organisations around the world.

Feedback
Amazing and outstanding. Dr Mahler’s work is engaging, useful, practical and highly entertaining. Louise’s goal is to embed positive change in the missing ingredients of leadership - our body, our voice and the processes we work with to express ourselves. These are often ignored, but critical to us all in our work interactions. Her expertise is unsurpassed worldwide and her skill to analyse in the moment is masterful.
I believe this to be ’next-level’ work ideal for executive and leadership teams. Highly recommended.
The Washington DC presentation was one of the best sessions I've attended in my professional career. I absolutely love Louise's ability to use humor, compassion, practical exercises and theory to help people like myself to feel much comfortable and charismatic in front of people. Dr Louise Mahler you need to come to Paris and hold some seminars!
Louise Mahler, Presenter, is that perfect cocktail of energy, humour, theatrics, audience engagement and highly relevant content. At The World Employment Conference Louise had our delegates from 27 different countries enthralled and chanting for more. Bravo Dr. Mahler Bravo.
Louise was out of control! She was loud, out there, hilarious and massively entertaining! A brilliant presenter with great messages who was very well received by our delegates. A highlight of the conference!
Dr Louise Mahler was the perfect opening keynote speaker for the conference and had the audience engaged from her opening comment. Every delegate who spoke to me for the next 2 days raved about her presentation.
Louise was inspirational, hilarious and so completely engaging that I lost track of time! She empowered all the women in the room and we all walked away that little bit better. I feel privileged to have been part of it.
Wow - We could not have asked for a more perfect start to our Conference! I’ve never seen an audience participate with such enthusiasm and then carry on the techniques they learnt on day one throughout the entire conference! Thank you Louise, you are a true professional and a must-have on any conference stage
The feedback is still coming in from yesterday and it’s all glowing. We’ve had some inspirational speakers over the last year and you have topped the charts for the most captivating and insightful yet. People thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of Dr Mahler’s talk. Thanks again for bringing such fabulous energy, humour and insight - we all benefited enormously.
Dr Mahler’s session was a particular highlight. Both Board and Senior Executive Team were extremely well engaged with the coherence and presentation style. I congratulate Dr Mahler on her insightful and informative work.
The real time coaching you provided for the selected participants is going back to the US to be incorporated as a method for their EP programs. You injected a lot of fun and really practical tips for the team when presenting which will stick.
In attending over 3-months-worth of Crotonville and other training sessions by GE, I have not seen a better trainer in action than Dr Mahler.
Louise’s session today was absolutely outstanding...And we get a lot of great sessions.
Participants commented that the two days spent with Louise were the most valuable and productive two days they've spent at a sales/training meeting in 20+ years in the pharmaceutical industry
Louise excels at creating an environment where people can discover more about themselves, practise, learn and grow. She is a master at providing meaningful and direct feedback, all the while keeping it fun and highly entertaining.
Louise was brilliant and it was one of the most useful learning events participants have attended in many years.
The feedback I’ve received about your presentation today us outstanding. I can’t thank you enough! Thank you for your intellect, playfulness and professionalism.
Louise is a star that impacts positively on executive growth!
Still smiling after Louise’s webinar, I absolutely loved it, really got me thinking a lot about my own voice and presentation to a level I had not considered before! The members found it a great experience too and would be very keen to hear (and see) Louise again.
Testimonial from the flavour of the month ‘Astrazeneca’: "You brought smiles to our faces and taught us some extremely valuable and important skills at the same time! We ended up with 248 participants on the live webinar and I have just jumped off a Zoom with the entire Biopharmaceutical Business Unit management team, and you are still the talk of the town, with many saying they can’t wait to watch the webinar again! Covid-19 lockdown was made enjoyable because of you Louise! You are a powerhouse and if I can just muster up a small amount of your gravitas, I will have achieved an element of greatness!”
