After finding each other when almost giving the identical pitch at a networking session, Louisa van Vessem (she/her) and I have got together to discuss life and running a business with Autism. Louisa is a strategic partner and mentor for business owners and professionals.  She is someone that is creative, strategic, analytical and pragmatic and uses those strengths to untangle minds.  In return, she offers clarity, direction, strategy and accountability to help take you from where you are right now to where you want to be. Louisa also runs an online community called InclUSion, offering a fun and safe space for business owners and professionals.  This empowers individuals to come together, celebrate who they really are and help them realise their potential.  The community was inspired because of Louisa’s own personal experiences with solo-parenting,  autism and chronic health issues and that’s why she is passionate about diversity and inclusion.
