Meet Marilise

Marilise is a Mindset & Emotional Resilience Coach, Bestselling Author, TEDx Speaker & Award-Winning leader with over 25 years' experience in large-scale global organisations. 

The last 10 years, she has been specialising in Cyber Security Awareness, Culture & Talent. She supports organisations to create cyber safe cultures, where people feel confident and safe to speak-up, so that suspicious behaviour and mistakes can be surfaced and addressed quickly.

ROAR! supports anyone struggling with fatigue and burnout, to (re)ignite their authentic purpose, rebalance their priorities, achieve alignment and better work-life integration. Marilise's signature ROAR! Blueprint and training programmes centre around learning how to spot your inner bully and reframe any limiting inner conversation into a powerful inner roar. It helps you to face the difficult conversations with others - to ROAR. Marilise's curriculum is based on her own experiences, and the tools she has been using and refining for over two decades - to get through an eating disorder in her 20s, and to get through work addiction and burnout in her 30s. You can read more about Marilise's story in her best-selling book ROAR! How to tame the bully inside and out. You can also watch her TEDx talk, 'Have you found your ROAR!?'

Marilise is proudly South African. She recently returned to the Cape Winelands after 18 years in England and is now writing her second book, MOAR! How to talk about what matters inside and out. Marilise is married to Heinie and they have two teenage sons.
