Biography
University of San Francisco - Business Administration
Global Business Law Expert and
Award-Winning International Speaker
Dr. Lydie
Louis
Palm Beach, Florida
As an attorney, educator, and business activist, I believe that every person deserves the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to change their world. I am driven by individuals' commitment to expanding their knowledge quotient, as they recalibrate how they view the world and their role within it. My role is to advise individuals, and companies as to how they can succeed within the legal and ethical frameworks. Personalizing the impact of business decisions is critical to allow leaders to actively recognize that profitability, and making ethical choices are not mutually exclusive. And, making unethical decisions is not only unwise but palatable damage to others. I am motivated and humbled by my clients' and students’ willingness to entrust me to guide them through business and legal strategies that will enhance their lives, and their profit margin.
