Richard Franzen, Founder & President @ Impact Africa

"Lisa has a great energy, she provided a detailed and comprehensive strategy that has given me valuable insight into my business. In addition to helping me clarify my vision and mission, the website user journey analysis and communication territories have given me direction where previously I felt like I was drifting along, not sure of what to do next. I highly recommend Lisa, she is thoughtful, positive and knowledgeable. Working with her was a great pleasure."

"I am the director of a fashion house called Merwe Mode, we offer a variety of fashion based avenues, such as: bridal, production, commercial fashion, development, custom design, pattern making etc etc. I hit a blank wall, I had no idea how to portray my company in an orderly way, it was a mess, with all my offerings overlapping and spilling into one another,making it very hard for my clients to realise exactly what we do and offer. Lisa's passion for job creation and people development helped me realise that nothing is impossible, it took her such a short time to dissect my business and my mind and restitch all the valuable elements back together, making a sustainable transformation in building my businesses strategy. Lisa also touched on brilliant ways for me to market and advertise my company, I recommend Lisa as an efficient asset to anyone wanting to get the best out of being an entrepreneur and figuring out all the elements that get lost when running a business and forgetting the foundation it is based on. Thank you so much Lisa x"

Deeva van der Merwe, Owner @ Merwe Mode

She has the ability to look at your business holistically and pin point the possibilities of growth and opportunity. Her insight into how a business can run effectively is very empowering. Her data and research was clear and to the point making it easy to change and move things around. We will highly recommend Lisa's services."

"This Life Business Solutions has been a saving grace for Sugar & Vice. Lisa has such a passion for SME’s and understands the challenges small business owners face. She has helped me with brand analysis, pricing and distribution strategy. Her attention to detail and analysing the data is outstanding. She’s helped me to move my business into a sustainable place of growth and can’t wait to see it flourish with the recommended changes."

Natalie Van Dijk, Founder @ Sugar & Vice

"This Life Business was a great help to Openroom when we embarked on our rebrand. We were in a space of knowing we needed to redefine our offering but were a bit lost in the detail and struggling to understand our true purpose. Lisa is highly professional and strategic in her approach. She came in and created structure and focus in our thinking process as well as alignment. It was so necessary to have someone external to our business guiding us. And she did so with ease, expertise, warmth and care. Thank you so much for your guidance!"

Helen Torr, Founder @ Openroom Consulting
