About Liz Mentor

Founded in 2020, Liz Mentor Management Services began as a solo-run consultancy dedicated to helping small and mid-sized South African businesses grow smarter — and market better.

What started in HR has expanded into a multi-site, multi-skilled brand with one goal: helping entrepreneurs build clarity, visibility, and connection through marketing that actually works.

About Liz

I didn’t start in marketing — but marketing has always been part of my story. 

I began my professional journey in a creative studio, followed by incentive travel design, where I learned how ideas become campaigns, and campaigns become results. In my later HR work, I used marketing every day — shaping employee value propositions, designing internal events, and building the kind of workplace culture people want to be part of.

 

Qualifications

I hold a National Diploma in Occupationally Directed Education, Training and Development Practices (OD-ETDP) and an Advanced Fraud Examination qualification, blending people development with system-level thinking and process integrity.

I’ve also completed 13 certifications through AIHR (Academy to Innovate HR), covering everything from Strategic HR and Organisational Development to Learning Analytics and HR Transformation — ensuring my work is globally informed, locally grounded, and future-ready.

CPD & Courses

I’m a firm believer that learning never stops. My current CPD includes advanced studies in Organisational Development, participation in AI automation incubators, and hands-on exploration of learning systems, workflow tools and data-driven platforms.

Now, I bring that same strategic creativity to small businesses who need more than another “growth hack.” They need clarity, consistency, and someone who sees the real story behind their brand.

What I Believe

Success doesn’t come from degrees or titles. It comes from your ability to learn, adapt, and take action. That’s why I support STARS — people who are Skilled Through Alternative Routes.

Whether you’re self-taught, a side-hustler turned CEO, or someone who figured it out through grit — you belong here.

What STARS Mean

STARS aren’t just learners. They’re doers. They’re the business owners building from scratch. The freelancers making it work. The learners who didn’t have access to formal education, but figured it out anyway.

STARS are what the modern workforce really needs. And in small business? They’re exactly the kind of people who create magic from limited resources.

How This Ties Into My Work

As a management services professional with an OD-ETDP background, I’ve helped people learn the skills they need—when they need them.

That’s the core of my work: Practical knowledge, Just-in-time learning, No fluff. No filler. Just what works.

I won’t hand you a textbook. I’ll equip you to succeed—your way.

We partner with businesses to unlock their full potential and drive meaningful growth — not just through marketing trends, but through strategy rooted in purpose.
