WHO ARE WE?

We make choosing a career fun, through playing our game, Nudge.

This journey started in 2011 already…

What you are seeing here is not just a game, or a deck of cards, but rather a journey of a dream for our children to be more equipped and informed to steer their future.

WHO IS INVOLVED?

LIZÉ BOTHA CORNELISSEN

In 2005 Lize completed her Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology in through the University of Stellenbosch with her internship at Panorama Medi-clinic. Her internship equipped her with experience, not only in individual and team counselling but also in workshop training, development and facilitation. She also obtained a certificate in Human Resource through University of Pretoria along with a Coaching certificate through ICF accredited Coaching Development. Not long after that Lizé Botha and Associates was founded which focused on a variety of services including assessments, consulting and development orientated initiatives. Lizé Botha & Associates re-branded to The David Legacy early in 2019. The David Legacy represents the value of courage and focus of building a legacy, not only as a business themselves but also for their clients and their staff.

During her work in business and within private practice, Lize experienced the gap in terms of career counselling based on accessibility of services to a large part of the South African population. Alongside this, the criticism, hopelessness and judgement that people experience when they cannot make informed career decisions, contributed to her wanting to play a role in the development of a career tool. Lize believes that career management is a lifelong process and that more information can be distributed in a less costly manner. Career counselling should be within most households, schools and also continued through each person’s life. By means of this greater work satisfaction can be derived, contributing to overall wellness and health. In essence this will also add value to growing innovation and resourcefulness amongst youth and the workforce.
