Only a few
weeks after emceeing a successful conference in the United Kingdom, Liezel van
der Westhuizen has accepted another exciting international opportunity - this
time to act as Master of Ceremonies at a 3 day conference in Hong Kong.
“Landing a corporate gig of this calibre in a world class business hub
like Hong Kong is really a dream come true and I look forward to building on
these kinds of opportunities even more in the future,” says Liezel.
Having kicked off her public speaking career on home ground in South
Africa 10 years ago, Liezel has hosted events across the country, as well as in
other international destinations such as Indonesia, Thailand and the Seychelles.
Embracing the challenges and joys of diversity, Liezel has hosted
high-end corporate functions, gala dinners, award shows and conferences for
major global and local brands in South Africa and Africa.
With infectious energy, sharp wit and panache being the hallmarks of
Liezel’s brand, it’s no surprise that her work receives consistent rave reviews
from clients.
Passionate about education, Liezel notes that her degrees in Human
Resources Management (B.COM) and Communications(HONS
and M.COM) have been invaluable in laying the
groundwork for what can only be described as a rewarding and fulfilling career.
Being part of the Toastmaster’s Society – and having received bronze and
silver awards – also continues to give Liezel’s work an extra edge.
Apart from hosting events, Liezel is also often asked to do motivational
talks and deliver keynote addresses. A few of her most popular topics include:
‘Beating the workplace Bully’, ‘Empowering Women’ and ‘Finding your inner
strength’.
