Luisa Hogan is the founder of Vermelho Consulting, Co-Founder of award winning Whisper & Thread and is a Leadership Resilience Strategist specialising in helping leaders redefine strength as steadiness, not strain.

After leading an organisation through its closure and spending years guiding teams through complex change, Luisa noticed a troubling pattern: strong leaders were burning out under the pressure to simply endure. From that realisation came her keynote, “Steady Is the New Strong,” a powerful message redefining resilience as steadiness, not strain, and guiding leaders toward sustainable performance and grounded confidence.

She is the Author of The Mindset Fitness Workout: Be Fit For Success Without Burning Out and draws both psychology and practical leadership experience to help audiences:

• Shift from reacting and over-performing to pausing and choosing deliberate action.

• Redefine resilience as regulation and steadiness, not endurance.

• Build teams that remain composed, connected, and effective through uncertainty.

Known for her calm authority, intelligent storytelling, and grounded delivery, Luisa’s sessions move beyond motivation- they build capability. Her work has influenced executives, emerging leaders, and entrepreneurs who want to lead with clarity and composure, even when everything around them is in flux.


“Luisa spoke at our Leadership Camp and was phenomenal! Luisa shared some great words of wisdom and experiences in a fantastic way with short stories and humour which resonated so well with everyone. We would highly recommend having Luisa speak.”

Why Luisa?

Luisa bridges neuroscience, behavioural insight, and stories from her executive leadership and entrepreneurial experience to redefine what resilience looks like in practice for entrepreneurs and leaders. Her framework turns emotional regulation into a leadership competency that is measurable, teachable, and scalable across teams.
