Bio
CJ Giddy
I worked with Liesl for over a decade. She is a high-performing thought leader, who added immeasurably to our business strategically and operationally. Liesl's key strengths are communication skills, strategic and analytical thinking, interpersonal relationships, and commerciality. Liesl's values of integrity, honesty, and trust combined with her skills make her an invaluable member of any team. Given the opportunity, I would work together with Liesl in any team.
Karen Cilliers
Liesl and I worked together for more than a decade and I witnessed the remarkable way in which she transformed areas using her intellectual capacity, diligence, courage and wit. She has perfected a wide range of skills - including crafting of strategy, expert facilitation, multi-faceted communication, relationship building, business case construction, high stakes negotiation, new business establishment, and brand-building. Her high standards are legendary, which have contributed to her long record of success. She has two particularly rare skills. The first is the uncanny way in which she translates, simplifies and delivers on seemingly impossible tasks. Her courage, creativity, experience and clear-thinking enable her to partner with stakeholders highly effectively to drive meaningful change. The second is her ability to connect with individuals at a deeply personal level. For someone who is so highly effective at an executive level, she always remains grounded, generous and kind. For this reason people work with her voluntarily, knowing that they'll always be heard, understood and respected for their contribution. Liesl left an irreplaceable Liesl-shaped hole when she moved on from our organisation. We miss her boundless energy and innovation but know she'll be learning, changing, listening and sharing her magic wherever she goes.
