Lilian Benita Mboyi is a lover of life who is passionate about the things that are close to her heart, this includes, her family, her children, grandchildren, friends and the projects that she is involved in. She lives in Cape Town, South Africa and one of her hobbies is traveling the continent and around the
globe.
Lilian has over 30 years’ working experience in various corporations in South Africa mostly as a
Communications Specialist. She is a certified life coach, trained by the internationally acclaimed
Marianne Williamson.
In her childhood she experienced a range of social challenges, including emotional and physical abuse. What she experienced shaped who she became. She was driven by a deep sense to thrive. The buckets of motherly love nurtured her. Laughter became her constant companion; it was the nectar that quenched and sustained her.
Books were the tools that she used as sanctuaries to escape from the uncertainty and the pain. Through dreaming big she could mentally remove herself from the pain of her reality.
She kept journals, a tool her mother provided from a young age. In her words she says, “The support, love and constant assurance of my mother buoyed me. With the
tools that I was given, I learnt to navigate life. I learnt not to crumble in defeat. I learnt not to cower
under threat. I learnt to be strong inside.”
Working with women has been her passion since childhood. She was exposed to the values and
positive benefits of this work through her role model, her mother, whose career was mostly focused
on rural women development.
