PRAISE FOR RESONATE
If you meet Louise you will never forget her she certainly makes a strong impression. Louise has a powerful message which she delivers in a way that makes you sit up and take notice. I was delighted to work with her at a conference we hosted for managing partners from across the globe. I was even more delighted when, six months later, they were still raving about Louise.

Louise Mahlers insights are a rich synthesis of the power that comes from how we communicate, which is often more influential than what we actually say. Her observations are simple yet profound her wisdom not only pertains to the art, but also to the science of communication and how each and every one of us can adopt practical techniques to turbo-charge our impact.

If you do a lot of public speaking and only have time to read one book this year, make it Dr Louise Mahlers. I have learnt more in a couple of hours with Louise than in several previous courses on public speaking combined.

Louise Mahlers career has been rich in diversity, energy and creative achievement, from Europes leading opera stages to the fields of intense business competition. Louise has seen it all, and in Resonate she sets out a compelling picture as to how a life and career can be characterised from the potential inherent in our voices. In Louise we have a role model for the power and versatility of vocal intelligence. A life and career has many chapters. No matter how successful we might have been to date, there are always positive ways to re-engineer and enhance who we are and what we do, as Resonate explains. This is a life Louise has lived herself, and the authority of that experience shines through its pages. I am sure this book will, in fact, resonate with all who read it. It does with me, and will sit on my personal highly recommended list for many years to come.

Dr Louise Mahler has done for vocal intelligence what Daniel Goleman did for EQ! She has made the well-tuned mind-body-voice cycle, once solely the domain of the stage performer, accessible to the corporate communicator. Louise has energetically demonstrated time and again on our flagship executive program that voice is a choice and an vital antidote to communication failure. This pragmatic and quirky book is a necessary read for discerning executives and will be particularly helpful for those aspiring to global business positions.

Classical ballet dancers spend their lives working to make their art seem easy. Good public speakers work just as hard to make it seem as if it is no effort at all.
Dr Louise Mahler teaches that hard work rather than natural talent will make you a fabulous speaker and presenter. Ive watched people change for the better after working with Louise, as she reveals what the mirror cant. It is a wonderful transformation to watch, and I have been confronted myself. Come along with Louise for the ride: it will be hard and sometimes embarrassing work, but it will be worth it in the end. Trust me.
