“In a time categorised by phrases like “rat race” and “keeping up with the Jones’s” your presentation on finding your niche and prioritising based on your values was inspirational.
You reminded us that you really can have it all: a career; children; happy marriage… or whatever it is that makes each individual tick. The trick is to remember that you can only ever achieve 100% in total and you need to balance the elements making up your “all” in such a fashion that you reach YOUR equilibrium.
Your outlook on and lust for life reminds us of Winston Churchill’s words: “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give”.
Thank you”
Izette Kleuver, on behalf of SAICA UK Committee, ‘Living on Purpose’ talk
“Liz provided sound practical advice for making the most of what you have, in manageable bite-sized chunks, with practical tips and tricks that everyone could choose from in order to improve their financial well-being. A relaxed session with some audience participation, made for an informative yet fun presentation on money with the option to go even further with one of her in depth training sessions. Highly recommended.”
Marc Major, senior commercial executive, ‘Owning your Financial Future’ talk
“Liz has equipped our staff to make the most of their personal finances. The course has lifted employee morale. Even our financial advisers, who helps our employees to choose their pension funds, have commented on how much more knowledgeable our staff have become when it comes to financial issues.”

Diane Fick, a teacher from London, saved up to £200 extra a month through sticking to a budget. It has enabled her to follow her life-long dream to resign and help Aids orphans in South Africa full-time.
“The course really opened up so many doors for me in regards to getting my teeth into properly managing our family finances, and how to make our future dreams become a practical reality.”
Shirley Bardone, an assistant at the BBC and mother of two from London, was able to put together a feasible plan with her husband to buy their first family home after doing the ‘Road Map to Financial Freedom’ course.
“Your course was the catalyst that I needed to actually start looking at my finances and not be so nonchalant about them. I started tracking what was actually happening and then, after a few months, I had the evidence before my eyes that I was in debt and the attitude of ‘it’ll be better next month’ wasn’t helping. Thank you for equipping me and motivating me to help myself .”
John Van Zyl, a technician from London, has managed to pay off £3,400 of debt over five months after doing the ‘Road Map to Financial Freedom’ course. He also amassed £3,200 in six months towards his pension, which he says he otherwise “really really would not have”.
“It was like someone switching a light bulb on in my head. You have seriously changed my financial future.”
