About Marilise de Villiers Basson

I help professionals who have checked all the boxes of success yet still feel like something is missing. Those who secretly wonder, "Is this it?" I help them reconnect with themselves, rediscover their passion, and create a life that feels deeply meaningful. I love it.

As the author of "ROAR! How to Tame the Bully Inside and Out" and creator of the ROAR! Blueprint, I'm passionate about bringing more kindness to workplaces whilst empowering individuals to stand in their power. If you want some inspiration, watch my TEDx talk: Have you found your ROAR!? on YouTube.

My cybersecurity consulting transforms tick-box compliance into vibrant, risk-aware cultures where people become the strongest security asset rather than the weakest link. I help teams build the courage to speak up about mistakes and suspicious behaviours—because courageous conversations are where real security transformation begins.

I am a Workplace Wellbeing Evangelist, and currently writing my second book, "MOAR! How to Make Work Magic Inside and Out" (coming late 2025). MOAR! represents the mastery of ROAR! – diving deeper into how we navigate workplace wellbeing through Mind (your internal compass), Ownership (your power to choose), Action (your pathway forward), and Resilience (your capacity to thrive). It's about creating ripples of positive change that extend beyond yourself into your teams and organisations.

After nearly two decades in corporate roles, as a Chartered Accountant, Finance Transformation Leader, and Cybersecurity Culture Expert, I experienced workplace bullying that brought me to my knees. This journey inspired my mission: helping others transform workplace challenges into opportunities for growth and authentic leadership.

When I'm not coaching, consulting or speaking, you'll find me enjoying a glass of South African Sauvignon Blanc, lifting weights, cycling (where my best ideas flow!), or dreaming about my future flower farm. Recently returned to South Africa after 18 years in the UK, I'm embracing the journey home with my husband and two sons.

If you're feeling that ache – that quiet but persistent whisper that there must be more – know this: You are not alone. And there is a way forward. You've come to the right place.

The first step? Hold up the mirror. Get honest. And when you're ready, reach out. You don't have to do this alone. I'm here to help. 💙

"You're more than enough. Don't just believe it. Know it. Take messy, imperfect action. Your 'too muchness' is your superpower."
