About Us

A Journey of Transformation

With over 25 years of corporate experience spanning multiple industries and roles—from accounting to IT, project management, operations, and product creation—Lou experienced firsthand the challenges of burnout, disengagement, and uncertainty. Despite career success, something was missing. The search for greater purpose led to frequent role changes, but the answer was always the same: the most energizing and rewarding moments came from mentoring, guiding, and helping others grow. 

That realization sparked a career transformation. After extensive training and certification, Lou transitioned out of the corporate world to focus entirely on coaching. Today, IONIS Leadership Coaching helps leaders navigate their own journeys—overcoming obstacles, building confidence, and leading with authenticity.

  • Emotional Intelligence Development: Strong relationships and effective leadership start with self-awareness and empathy.
  • Deep Listening: We teach the art of truly hearing and understanding others to build trust and connection.
  • A Safe, Confidential Space: Growth happens when leaders feel supported and free to explore their challenges without judgment.
