“Minority, is about being an individual. It’s like you have to sift through the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life” - Billie Joe Armstong, Lead Singer of Green Day"

Hello and welcome, my name is Louisa Joseph. I am very excited that you have clicked on my website today. I coach and develop individuals and assist progressive organisations to implement proactive strategies to grow high-performing leaders delivering remarkable results, through my BAME to Boardroom programmes. Not that long ago I worked in a large corporate organisation for 17 years where I had the opportunity to grow a rewarding career in a variety of amazing HR roles, having started in operations management.

I have a wealth of experience in Diversity and Talent, driving organisation strategy on diversity and inclusion within complex environments. My knowledge and experience in business transformation, employee relations, engagement and operations means I am able to build strong, credible relationships at all levels. I am customer focused and results driven. I have experience of setting the diversity metrics at a senior level and working to provide the steer on policy and decisions that shaped recruitment and selection practices to create a pipeline of diverse talent.

I am a single mum of three and a growing number of grandchildren’. I live in London. I am truly grateful for all the opportunities I have had through my career to raise my children and provide for my family.

I first realised that I was different as a 6-year-old at primary school. It dawned on me that I was being treated differently by my peers and teachers, and it was also at the same time when I found out about someone called “Father Christmas”. I learned that the gift of Christmas was different for us being poor and black in Britain and I didn't receive the presents on my short list sent to Father Christmas.  It was a painful experience. My “Father Christmas” was the gift of Love from my mother.

As with many families, being a single working mum has sometimes been a struggle. But when my mother died in December 2016, my world fell apart because my mum was the anchor in my life. Now, having left my corporate career, I am on a new journey to find my own anchor, live my passions and live my purpose. I believe we all have a purpose, but it sometimes takes a while to find it, pinpoint it and hone it.

In spite of my background, I have had the opportunity to grow a rewarding career. However, my true passion came through when I had the opportunity to make a difference in the Diversity and Inclusion space. I worked with stakeholders across different levels of the business to inspire and provide opportunities for colleagues to connect, develop and grow.
