About Us.
Colette Strategic Solutions was founded in 2023 by Colette Botha, who initially envisioned a one-woman operation dedicated to delivering tailored business transformation services. With a deep passion for strategic development and leadership enhancement, she set out to create a consultancy that prioritised personalised solutions for every client. As demand grew, so did the company, evolving into a thriving organisation with a strong network of professionals. Today, alongside a dedicated team, Colette Strategic Solutions continues to help companies, teams and individuals achieve cultural alignment, talent development and sustainable growth. While the company has expanded, its core philosophy remains unchanged: meaningful change requires a personal touch and every programme is designed to reflect the unique goals and challenges of those we serve.
"We thrive on bringing out the best in individuals and teams and we are driven
by a deep commitment to positive,
lasting outcomes”
It all started here.
