ALSO Here is a little bit more about Lou!
From humble beginnings as a teacher and educator, Lou recognized the deep connection between individual wellness and collective success. Her compassionate and empathetic approach, honed through two decades of fostering self-belief and emotional well-being in young minds, brought a glaring gap in the business world to light. This realization was the genesis of her journey, and thus, the Team Approach was born.
The Team Approach emerged as a beacon for creating mentally healthy workplaces where employees’ emotional, psychological, and physical well-being took centre stage. Guided by core values of empathy, compassion, connection, lifelong learning, and teamwork, Lou educates businesses on human behaviour, underlining the reciprocal relationship between a positive work environment and business success. Her mission is simple yet revolutionary – when we look after our people, they look after the business.
Lou envisions a future where every workplace in Victoria and Australia is a champion of emotional health. She strives for her Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to be synonymous with successful mental health initiatives, making The Team Approach the leading provider of EAP programs for small to medium-sized businesses. Lou longs for the day when mental health is as routinely discussed as workplace health and safety. She’s determined to reduce the stigma around mental health and cultivate a culture where ‘Connected Conversations’ – organic dialogues promoting positive mental health – are commonplace.
In Lou’s vision, The Team Approach is more than a business; it’s a movement fostering mentally healthy workplaces, providing EAP Counselling Services, and it’s the future of work.
