CS Oberholzer lives in the countryside near Johannesburg, South Africa. Her favourite pets are her laptop and camera, although she loves entertaining the neighbour’s dogs and feeding the variety of bird life that share her environment. Prior to starting her coaching enterprise, she worked as office and administration manager in SME’s, including franchising, which forms the foundation of her knowledge and experience as a small business coach. When she isn’t writing or researching you might find her bogged down with camera equipment somewhere in the countryside, capturing images of anything that strikes her as interesting or unusual.
