About Lizette Volkwyn — Transformational Life Coach,

International Keynote Speaker & Author

Every story has crossroads. Mine began with the same doubts, setbacks, and fears that so many of us face.

But what I discovered along the way is this:

Vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s the birthplace of transformation.

Today, I stand not as someone with all the answers, but as a companion on the journey — a Transformational Life Coach, International Keynote Speaker, Master NLP Practitioner, and Human Behaviour Specialist who has spent more than two decades helping leaders, teams, and individuals rediscover their courage, authenticity, and voice.

My role isn’t just to remind you of that truth; it’s to help you feel it, claim it, and live it.

I know the weight of standing at a crossroads — wondering if change is even possible or if the spark inside has gone out for good.

Over the years, I’ve sat across from people who felt invisible, broken, or overwhelmed by life, and I’ve witnessed the moment they found their way back. Not through magic, but through one choice, one action, one courageous step at a time.

I’ve seen the light return to their eyes, the strength return to their voice, and the belief in who they are reignite with fire. And that transformation? It’s not reserved for someone else. It’s waiting for you too — right here, right now.

Because transformation doesn’t begin somewhere “out there.” It begins the moment you choose yourself. And when you do, I’ll be right here to walk beside you — believing in you until you believe in yourself.

The greatest transformation begins with the smallest decision: to believe that you are worth it.

If you’re ready to explore what’s possible — through keynotes,

self-discovery workshops, coaching, or my books — I’d love to connect.

This is ME

I’m often introduced by my titles — Transformational Life Coach, International Keynote Speaker, Master NLP Practitioner, and one of only two PEI-certified Human Lie Detection Specialists in South Africa. And yes, those qualifications and recognitions matter.

They’ve opened doors to global stages, leadership teams, and communities across more than 20 countries.

But the truth is, they’re not who I am. They’re the tools I carry.

What defines me is my mission: to walk beside people — leaders, teams, and individuals — as they strip away the noise, rediscover their values, and step back into the strength they thought they had lost.

It’s why I write books like Finding Me, Decode Deceit, and Triumph in Vulnerability — so that even if you never sit in one of my workshops or hear me on a stage, you still have access to the tools and stories that can help you find your own way forward.

Along the way, I’ve been honored with awards such as Transformational Life Coach of the Year 2025 (South Africa) and recognized by organizations like YPO, where my keynote earned a 9.7/10 rating for impact and transformation.

But those accolades only remind me of this: the work I do is not about me. It’s about the people whose lives shift, whose voices grow stronger, and whose courage carries them into a future they once thought was out of reach.

Because at the heart of it all, my role isn’t to stand above you — it’s to stand with you.

Why the Hummingbird?

Legends say the hummingbird is more than just a bird — it’s a messenger of hope, resilience, and joy.

some cultures, it’s believed that hummingbirds carry whispers of courage on their wings,

reminding us that even in life’s heaviest seasons, lightness is possible.

Watch closely, and you’ll see what seems impossible: a creature so small, yet capable of flying backwards, sideways, and still hovering gracefully in one spot. Its heart beats over a thousand times a minute, yet it pauses mid-air to

sip sweetness from hidden blossoms. The hummingbird teaches us that true strength is not in size,

but in agility, adaptability, and the courage to keep moving, no matter what.

That’s why the hummingbird chose me.

In my work as a life coach and behavioural specialist, I walk beside people as they navigate the turbulence of change. Like the hummingbird, I help them hover long enough to find clarity, shift direction when old paths no longer serve, and discover the sweetness buried in their own story.

This tiny bird reminds me — and those I work with — that resilience is not about force, but about flow. It’s about finding stillness in motion, and beauty in the places we least expect.

The hummingbird in my logo is not a brand mark. It’s a quiet but powerful reminder:

no matter how heavy life feels, you too can rise, adapt, and sparkle in your own flight.
