About Anél

Anél van Zyl – My Story

I saw the first light of day in De Aar, started school in Stydenburg, followed by seven more schools before writing my matric in Hopetown. I started working in the bank, later met my husband on a blind date, and – three children, three grandchildren and 40 years later – we are still married. Since he is a nature conservator, we lived in nature reserves and I was dependent on administrative posts available in the reserves. However, I worked my way up to tourism officer; from there, I started my guest house in Bloemhof in 1994, which I operated for eight years before selling it. I then bought and managed a hardware store until my husband was transferred to Fauresmith in 2009.
I decided at a late age to start living out my passion. My passion being to empower people to lead full, happy, purposeful, and successful lives – to help them develop and plan their lives personally or career-wise. It is also my passion to help businesses appoint the right person in the right position at the right time, as well as workplace career development.
