Louise M Empowerment: Recent Episodes
Louise Matson
As Founder of Louise M shoes I realised that I have been striving to empower women through shoes since I started in 2013. I have not used the word ‘empowerment’ until now but have always wanted women to put on a pair of Louise M shoes and be confident to go about their day achieving their goals and dreams. Louise M shoes take you places!
There is much discussion about ‘where did your business journey begin’ but I am intrigued to explore before the business journey started. Did these women feel confident as a child and has this helped them succeed in business and life, or have they had to ‘upskill’ so to speak as an adult to become confident and feel empowered?
Some of my guests did not receive any source of being valued, heard, confident as a child and, I believe, it has hindered them as an adult. Those that truly believed as a child that they are good enough and could achieve anything, I believe, had a head start in adulthood.
The reassuring thing is though that no matter how disempowered you feel as a child it is possible as an adult to become empowered.
Through this interview series we meet women from many sectors who have created their own successful business.
I ask what their definition of empowerment is, as I believe it is slightly different for each one of us. Together we delve into their childhood for feelings of empowerment and disempowerment, before discovering how they have been able to become more empowered in their adulthood, and how they help others feel empowered through their business.
I hope this series will help other women on their empowerment journey.
“One day, everyone gets to leave their mobile phones, they come up to the hills, they forget the world, and just concentrate on themselves and build that confidence through speaking.” -Dr. Paula Smith
Speaking is an important factor in communication. This gives us the capability to express our thoughts and feelings, and sometimes the things that we say creates impacts to the ones who are listening. This makes speaking an important tool to inspire others, and eventually empower them.

She will discuss her idea of empowerment as well as her journey of empowerment. She will also share how to utilise speaking as a means of empowering others.

“It's about strength. It's about confidence. And ultimately, it's about owning your space and feeling trusted.” - Amanda Cox Many women and girls have never considered that they could contribute to technical, operational, or sporting domains, or that they could one day be part of senior management in businesses dominated by male executives. For one thing, there is evidence that girls are discouraged from developing their talents in math, physics, and hard labor from an early age, preferring to focus on humanities and social sciences instead. So how did Amanda do it?

“Being bullied is no one's blessing in disguise, but it certainly shaped me to be the way that I am now.” - Nadia Owen
For people who are bullied, it is both upsetting and depressing. Bullying is well known for leaving victims emotionally scarred, leaving them feeling hopeless and vulnerable. As a result, it is critical for bullying victims to understand how to persevere in the face of extreme agony. One method to achieve this is to think positively despite the negative effects of bullying.

When a person feels empowered, they have influence over their own life, which leads to better judgment and actions in pursuit of his or her goals. Empowerment, on the other hand, must begin somewhere. Some people have had a sense of empowerment since they were young, while others have just experienced it as adults. It's wonderful to feel empowered all of the time, regardless of how you got it and there are many ways to do so.

“Money would not be a reason why we didn't get those opportunities, I always grew up knowing that there was no reason why I couldn't achieve what I wanted to achieve. ” - Jennifer Bicknell

“I believe that everybody has some great abilities, but unless somebody comes along and acknowledges those, you can go through life and not realise that you're worthy, and that's how I felt as a child. I did not feel worthy” - Lesa J. Hinchliffe
A strong belief in yourself can bring you all these benefits and more. You will begin to recognise your ability to accomplish goals and you are optimistic about the future as you set goals and achieve them. Deep down inside of you, you know you can do anything.
In today’s episode of Louise M Empowerment Series, we are joined by another inspiring woman, Lesa J Hinchliffe. She is a Professional Speaker and author. Reading Think and Grow Rich at 16, set Lesa on a journey that has seen her experience the highs and lows of a hugely diverse business journey.
She spent 20 years in the media - the first 5 predominately in front of the camera before founding her own production company. In 2015 Lesa started to write Entrepreneur to Megapreneur a book that documents the business life journeys of 8 highly successful West Australians. Initially, it was a daunting and hugely challenging undertaking. A decision to implement the daily actions and habits of the Megapreneurs she was writing about, unleashed a level of determination she’d never before experienced or expected.
The process changed Lesa within although, as she now acknowledges, if she had known before what she knows now, she would have realized change was inevitable.

Our recollections may appear to be crystal clear in our minds, but they are not exact replicas of the events we observed. Memories are jewels in our hearts that last a lifetime.

“Without a doubt, I was influenced by both my mother's business and my father actually embodying to me that I could be and do whatever a boy does. You know, I think that is very fortunate that I was brought up with that kind of family.” Lyn Hawkins stated.
Parents are the most important role models for their children. Every statement, gesture, and behavior has an impact. As a child, having a reliable adult to turn to gives access to genuine guidance that leads to a better life. A child's value and confidence are heavily influenced by the adults they associate with. Therefore, parents play a crucial role in empowering a child that would later affect their adulthood.
In today’s episode of Louise M Empowerment Series, we are joined by another uplifting and empowered woman, Lyn Hawkins. Lyn is the National Director of Business Women Australia.

"With great power comes great responsibility" is one of the common quotes that we usually hear. This quote doesn't only speak for superheroes', rather, this also applies to people that embody empowerment—the empowered individual encourages others to embody empowerment as well. As an empowered person, it is one’s responsibility to influence others and help them build their self-confidence and self-esteem.
Empowering people through personal experiences hit differently. It gives drive and inspiration for people to go for their goals and to always aim for success.
