Lou Solomon

Lou Solomon is an author, TEDx speaker, and the founder and CEO of Interact, a communications firm located in Charlotte, North Carolina, and holds master's degree in organization development.

Her early struggles with shyness and self-doubt were a gift that led her to develop the Your Authentic Speaking Style(TM) Learning Series to help people find their voices. A member of the adjunct faculty at the McColl School of Business at Queens University of Charlotte, Lou is the co-founder of the school’s annual TWIST Conference for Women. Her articles and insights have been published by Fast Company, Entrepreneur, and HBR. Her research, conducted in collaboration with Harris Interactive, sheds light on the communication practices that keep leaders from engaging the people who report to them.

As a TEDx speaker, Lou’s topic is “The Surprising Solution to the Impostor Syndrome,” which can be viewed on YouTube. In addition to the conventional tools, Lou believes that your own “Radical Hero” can help call out the self-limiting beliefs that isolate people with self-doubt and an impostor mindset.

Lou lives in Charlotte with her husband, Sandy, and her three office mates, Jake, Charlie, and Odie.
