Charlize Moolman, Director of Light Ability Consulting (PTY) Ltd. is a registered Industrial & Organisational Psychologist (PS 0135585) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Coach. Charlize completed her studies in B.Com Human Resource Management, B.Com (Hons) Human Resource Management and M.Com Industrial & Organisational Psychology at the University of Pretoria. Charlize has fulfilled various roles in a corporate and consulting capacity over the past few years using her diverse skills and experience in Industrial and Organisational Psychology and Human Resource Management, working in the Mining, Manufacturing, Banking, Insurance and Agriculture industries.

In her personal capacity, Charlize is a wife and youngest sibling of four, with a father as a preacher and a mother as a teacher. Growing up in a small town for most of her life, she had different but notorious life experiences that make her the strong person she is today. As part of her life and family, she encountered a lot of people living with disabilities. She developed a strong passion and a natural ability to connect with them. Therefore, during her years of studies, Charlize aligned her passion with research on people with disabilities. She won the People Management Award for Best Research Project in her Honours degree on “What factors inhibit the career success of disabled employees” and presented at the 19th Annual Conference for the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology in South Africa (SIOPSA) on “Disabled students’ perceived barriers to career success.”

To fulfil the vision and mission of Light Ability Consulting, Charlize will be working alongside other Industrial and Organisational Psychologists and Human Resource Professionals to make a difference in South Africa and globally by guiding and developing individuals, including people living with disabilities, teams and organisations in living their purpose, using their potential and as a result giving them hope.
