Are you feeling overwhelmed by:
  • The daily storms of life?
  • An ever expanding attack surface? 
  • Light speed changes in AI, robotics and nanotechnologies?
  • A difficult relationship or health scare?

We work through burnout and sacrifice life to get ahead in our careers. But there is another way, and it starts with you.
The Resilient Cyber Leader will help you generate energy for life, liberate your greatness, and find your voice so you can work productively with others to protect your organisation.

Marilise de Villiers Basson

Marilise is the Founder of ROAR! Coaching & Consulting, a Performance Coach, Best-selling Author, TEDx Speaker and Award-Winning Transformation leader that specialises in Cybersecurity Awareness, Culture, and Talent (ACT!). She combines over two decades of experience as a chartered accountant and transformational leader.

ROAR! coaching helps corporate executives struggling with burnout rebalance their priorities, achieve alignment, and improve work-life integration — to commit to a life of resilience. Our certified high performance coaching curriculum is science-backed and centred on the strategies and thought processes of the world’s highest performers. It focuses on habits of clarity, energy, courage, productivity, influence, and purpose.

ROAR! consulting specialises in addressing cyber security behaviours and culture, encouraging organisations to move away from compliance-led ‘tick box’ approaches towards risk-based, people-centric approaches that embed secure mindsets and habits into organisational cultures. She emphasises the need for a speak-up culture that allows suspicious behaviour and mistakes to be surfaced and addressed.
