Looking back on Derde Dinsdag Women's morning 18th August 2026, as Coordinator of the event (in collaboration with fellow Malmesbury Sakekamer committee members), I am so Grateful. For a truely Blessed morning and authentic women who have enriched my life beyond measure. A special Thank you to Lynne Kruger-Haye and Yonela Nongwe Mneno

Do you remember why you started?

Not the business plan. The actual reason - before the bills, the staff, the daily list of problems to solve.

Somewhere along the way, the grind took over. The passion didn't. And now you know something needs to change - expand, scale down, start something new - but you don't have the clarity to see which direction, or the time to step back far enough to look.

That's where this comes in. I don't hand you a plan. I listen first.

One conversation. No obligation. Just space to think out loud about what's next.

DM me.

When most people think of growing a business, their first thought is marketing - run an ad, post on social media, or redesign a flyer. But pushing marketing without a solid foundation is just shouting into a crowded room without knowing who you're talking to.

I’m a Brand Strategist, and I take a step back to look at the bigger picture.

Before we look at tactics, we map out the real strategy: How do we position your business? Where are you now, where do you need to be, and what is the exact roadmap to get you there?

My goal is to ensure that when your business shows up in the market, it stands out in a way that truly honours the brand you’ve worked so hard to build.

Let’s connect and see how we can build stronger brands together!

Time flies when you are having fun!

3 years ago, in July 2023, Derde Dinsdag kicked off. I wanted to start a networking initiative for solopreneurs and small businesses and it was important to me to do this with the cooperation and in collaboration with Malmesbury Sakekamer. At that stage Sarie Nell was responsible for the Entrepreneurs portfolio on the committee. So we had a coffee date, and the rest as they say, is history. Today we are averaging 45 participants per event and a highlight in our calendar is the Women's morning, and this year it will be on the 18th of August. I hope to see you there!

Derde Dinsdag word 3!
Die heerlike netwerkgeleentheid by Malmesbury Golf Club is vanoggend bygewoon deur 40+ solopreneurs, klein en medium besighede van Malmesbury, Darling en Wellington. Pieter van der Westhuijzen van Flynet / Cornergate Technologies was die spreker en het vertel van waar hulle begin het, die hoogte- en laagtepunte die afgelope paar jaar, asook waar hulle vandag is.

Your website says one thing. Your proposal says another. Your invoice looks like it came from a different business entirely.

That inconsistency costs you contracts, not because your work isn't good, but because doubt is enough. When a potential client can't read a clear, consistent message across every touchpoint, they move on. Quietly. Without explanation.

The Brand Guide is the document that closes that gap. One reference your web developer, designer, and content team all work from. Not a template, built around your specific business, your market, your clients.

One brand. Everywhere it matters.
