Louise Porter PhD is passionate about safeguarding children's self esteem, promoting their social skills, and supporting their resilience in the face of the challenges that life often raises.

Louise advocates for teaching children to behave considerately, being mindful of how their behaviour affects others, rather than what consequences it may earn them. She has taught at university, conducted a private practice for 30 years (now retired), and worked in both mainstream and disability agencies and schools. She is an outstanding author of some of the best texts in the world on the topic of guidance.

Louise is a popular keynote speaker throughout Australia and internationally.
