Louise Tickle

Speaking

Talks, lectures, live onstage interviews, panel moderator & conference chair

Louise is regularly asked to speak about her work reporting on social affairs and education issues to audiences including social workers, students, lawyers, press officers, journalists and – toughest of all – school children.

She also has considerable experience of chairing conferences, panels and debates. Her warm, open style is highly effective at encouraging engagement in Q&A sessions, and she is always delighted to conduct live interviews or guided conversations with senior leaders, academics and individuals whose stories highlight the issues at hand.

Enthusiastic from the outset, Louise was a pleasure to work with… she appeared to have complete mastery of the subject and the natural warmth of her approach meant she quickly built a rapport with the four panelists…. She facilitated a lively and interesting debate on degree apprenticeships that moved naturally between different aspects of the subject, always managing to bring it back round to the central issue.
