Louise Levesque-Burley
Do you want to make the impossible, possible?
BIOGRAPHY
Louise Levesque-Burley brings over 16 years of experience as a bilingual professional speaker. She served for ten years in senior management in the non profit sector. In 2000 she focused her passion for helping others reach their full potential by creating Shared VISION Partagee.
Louise offers a unique approach to personal and professional development through keynote addresses, workshops, and individual consultations for people wanting to take the next step in achieving their personal and professional vision. Louise has overcome many life challenges as a blind person with chronic rheumatoid arthritis. She lives what she believes and inspires everyone in achieving the best life has to offer. In addition to running her successful speaking business, she maintains an active healthy lifestyle and enjoys traveling, dancing, reading, walking on the beach, experiencing the sounds of nature, cooking, and spending special time with her two greatest sources of inspiration, her husband Stephen and her guide-dog Mademoiselle Fig.
She is also very involved in her community as an active member of Centre for Women in Business, the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, and an Entrepreneur for the Disability Network. Louise is a visionary leader and a team builder who tells it like it is, and awakens people's potential with the message that you can't build the future you deserve on excuses. She is a woman that believes people can achieve their greatest vision by changing how they think. Louise is a woman who loves life and lives it to its fullest. Her greatest joy is when her clients discover the satisfaction and pleasure of leaving their excuses behind, stepping out, and achieving what they deserve -- nothing less than the best life has to offer. Louise's positive attitude is contagious, and certainly worth catching.

WORKSHOP AND SEMINAR TOPICS
Diversity at work invites the light of human potential to shine. Without an understanding and appreciation of the power of diversity in the workplace your staff and leadership are left in the dark, snuffing out the light of their full potential; extinguishing opportunities to develop future leaders and undermining people's productivity. Diversity education helps all your people feel included by letting their light shine, encouraging productivity, developing emerging leaders, and everyone 's good will and skills are celebrated. Can you afford to leave people in the dark and waste productivity?

TESTIMONIALS
"Louise is an amazing motivational speaker who inspires audiences with stories of love in action that truly walk the talk. Louise offers a no-nonsense, humorous and passionate call to action to live authentically, grow beyond our limits and be a leader in a world that needs us to bring our best."
- Peter Davison, CEO, Innerwealth Seminars
"I worked with Louise Burley in two very different roles: a speaker and a board member of a professional organization of which I am president. As a speaker, Louise has spoken at two of the most recent workshops I do for human resource professionals through the Saint Mary's University Professional Development Program. Throughout these presentations, Louise's ability to keep her topic interesting and fun has created a very rewarding learning experience for participants. Her ability to develop relationships with people she has just met, and her sense of humour while she builds these relationships make Louise an excellent choice when I am looking for a speaker to expand the horizons of the human resource participants in these workshops."
- Kaye Parker, APR, CHRP, CTM President, PBBA Atlantic Inc. and President (2009), CAPS Halifax
