How Louis works

Not another PowerPoint.

Are you and your team tired of the slide deck and the online click-fest? Louis's sessions are practical, on your feet and genuinely fun. Here's what actually happens in the room.

The idea

Educators remember what they've said out loud.

Nobody freezes at pick-up because they lack knowledge. They freeze because they've never actually said the sentence. So every Praxibel session is built around saying it — to a colleague playing the parent, with the real child's name, three times until it stops feeling strange.

The slides, when there are any, are a photo of a moment and a question. The learning happens standing up.

Louis, on why: "I spent years watching capable educators go quiet in the moments that mattered. They knew the theory. What they didn't have was the words in their mouth. You don't get those from a screen."
What a 90-minute Reset looks like

Minute by minute

0–10

The moment

Louis opens with one real situation from your rooms — the one you told him about. No introductions round the circle.

10–35

What usually happens

The team names what they actually do and say. Louis shares what he's seen work, and the one or two sentences that change it.

35–60

On your feet

Pairs and trios. One plays the parent or the child, one plays the educator. Swap. Laugh. Do it again with the language.

60–75

Your questions

The situations nobody has put a hand up about yet. This is where the real ones come out.

75–90

The plan

Each educator names one thing they'll do this week. Louis writes it up into the team action plan you receive within two days.

Online sessions

Still live. Still on your feet.

Online sessions are run the same way — cameras on, breakout pairs for the role-plays, the chat for the questions people won't say out loud. Louis has run them for teams in every state. What you won't get is a recording to click through later; that's deliberate.

What educators say after a session

“Strategies I could use straight away.”

Because a director is buying the experience their team will have in the room.

“

The content was practical, engaging and directly relevant to everyday practice. I left with new ideas, greater confidence and strategies I could use straight away.

Without a doubt one of the best educators in the industry. Louis is constantly creating content that's real, factual and supported by decades of hands-on experience.

Lisa Flanagan · Google review

“

A fun and cool educator with a lot of first-hand experience in early childhood. The program was very hands-on, practical and with lots of fun.

“

Very dedicated to his role as an educator. His strengths were his relationships with not only the children, but their families and his colleagues.

Why it works

Built by someone who still teaches

01

Twenty-two years in the room

Louis has stood where your educators stand — the bitten child, the complaint at pick-up, the drizzle at the door. The scenarios are his, not a textbook's.

02

Mentor to graduates and internationally trained educators

Most of his career has been helping new educators find the words. He knows exactly where they go quiet.

03

Mapped to what you're assessed on

Every session is aligned to NQS Quality Areas 1, 3, 5 and 6, EYLF v2.0 and the APST — so it lands in your QIP, not just the staff room.

Get Louis's read on your team

Tell Louis what you're seeing. He'll come back within one business day with what he'd do, what it would cost, and whether Praxibel is the right fit — a real reply, not an autoresponder.

Louis has your note. Expect to hear from him within one business day.

Louis reads every note himself. Your details are used only to reply to you.

Your team, on their feet, with the words.
