Liesl Coleman Reviews

Liesl is an exceptional people leader, and an outstanding learning professional. She has transformed safety health and environmental learning provision across Anglo American, delivering at a furious pace, and creating high quality solutions that are delivering excellent return on investment. She has expertise in building partnerships with business leaders and subject matter experts and an unparalleled ability to get across details, troubleshoot and move things forwards.

Liesl is an outstanding HR professional with incredible work ethic, resilience and focus. She was a wonderful asset to my team in Anglo and continues to deliver excellence and energy in all that she does.

Liesl picks up concepts very quickly and consistently delivers to high standards. She is able to manage a fast paced environment and engage stakeholders seamlessly.

Any organization would be lucky to have her leading their teams and driving their strategy.

Liesl Coleman was my coaching client and an absolute joy to coach. Because coaching is not remedial, but about the hard work to grow, perform, thrive, push, think, be better, do better and lead others better, I believe that the way a leader engages in their personal development says a huge amount about them as leaders.

This is therefore as much a recommendation for Liesl as a leader, as it is about an appreciation for her as a coaching client. Liesl, your commitment to growth and change for yourself through some uncomfortable times and definitely some really courageous steps out of your comfort zone, were amazing.

I appreciate and respect how committed, brave, proactive, and inspired you kept yourself. In what is actually a short time for a coaching process, you showed up fully, stretched your mind and your body, stayed the course when it got tough and were active and proactive about creating tangible changes immediately.

You care deeply about the people you are leading and championing and your commitment to doing the really hard work of internal change will have huge impact for those around you. As a result, you created new options for yourself and saw tangible and specific shifts in your thinking, in results and in the designing of your life.


Thank you for the honor of coaching you! Liesl would a huge value add as a leader to any organisation and team, its a privileges to recommend her.

A more professional and hard working person you cannot find. Liesl and I worked together to create technical learning solutions for a multi cultural audience across many countries and regions. Her executive stakeholder engagement is inspirational and her ability to drive to superior results no matter the project or obstacles is remarkable.


She deals very well with ambiguity and has the ability to inspire a team of high performing individuals to heights they never knew was possible. Was a real pleasure and privilege working with Liesl.

Saville Consulting Reviews

Prof Grant Freedman

Industrial & Organizational Psychologist

Programme Leader Executive Education

[Nelson Mandela University]

"Working together with Dr Werner Barkhuizen and his team, we were able to make a successful business case to the organization and to implement the system over an 18-month period. This was not without its challenges, but we were able to rely on immediate responsiveness and good technical input to resolve the issues we encountered. The Saville team was challenged to resolve many issues on the fly and this was managed in a friendly and competent manner.

The ability of the team to customize solutions to specific organizational requirements is most valuable.

The Saville team assisted us in doing a role analysis online, in real time and matching twenty of my students’ individual profiles with the requirements of the job. Immediately on completion of the role profiling, we received a comprehensive group report, indicating each person’s match with the role (they had completed individual assessments prior). This showed the flexibility and reliability of the team — I staked my credibility on the real-time demo and Saville allowed me to show how things should be done."

diversity of candidates spanning the globe, including many non-English speakers, it was of

paramount importance to ensure the framework’s reliability, validity, and fairness, as well as

presenting the report with our branding and corporate identity.

Dr. Werner Barkhuizen, accompanied by his adept team, have provided professional, responsive

and consistent support throughout this relationship. Their proficiency in addressing challenges

as they surface, combined with their flexibility, is truly praiseworthy.

A standout quality of Saville Consulting is their exceptional ability to customise solutions to

align with an organisation's distinct requirements."
