Who We Work With
Organisations that want people systems that perform.
From founder-led startups to listed corporates and mission-driven non-profits. We work with leaders across South Africa and into the rest of the continent who are serious about turning intention into execution.
Types of organisations we serve
Startups and fast-scaling organisations
Building from scratch or growing fast. We set HR foundations, design operating models, and help founders create people systems before the cracks become expensive.
Enterprise and corporate divisions
Complexity slowing execution. We run diagnostics, redesign workflows, coach leaders, and help large teams make decisions with more clarity and less friction.
Financial services and insurance
Leadership conversations, people diagnostics, operating model work, and targeted capability building in regulated, high-pressure environments.
Non-profit and mission-driven
We strengthen leadership, improve clarity, and build people systems that support purpose without relying on purpose alone to carry the organisation.
Mid-market and founder-led firms
Where growth outpaces structure. We clarify roles, design operating models, support leaders, and help teams mature without losing their energy.
Logistics and multi-site operations
Small breakdowns quickly disrupt the wider system. We strengthen operational clarity, manager capability, communication rhythm, and accountability.

Client Voices
What our clients say. In their own words.
Real feedback from real engagements.
Looking back, I recognise the team at Katzar as the catalyst for a period of significant personal and professional growth. Because they build trust quickly I was able to embrace the sessions of self-reflection, feedback and goal setting. I am a better leader because of it. Performance contracting stands out - they gave me the vehicle for accountability and mentored me in maturing it.
Katzar takes care of all our HR needs in a professional, efficient and friendly manner. They bring a wealth of experience to the table and have genuinely helped transform our business by making people our most important asset.
I am grateful that Katzar could be part of my journey as a newly appointed People Officer from the early stages. I feel understood, and the coaching sessions are extremely valuable. Katzar is making a measurable impact. Thank you to Lena-Mari for the support and guidance.
I have known Lena-Mari since being a postgraduate student more than 10 years ago. Since then she has established herself as a professional and highly sought after industrial psychologist. She has extensive experience in people development. Her skills as a professional life coach, leadership developer and counsellor are exceptional.
Lena-Mari has excellent work ethic and passion for people. She is creative, thinks outside the box and is not afraid to challenge paradigms. She also makes each and every person she interacts with feel special by taking time to know people, without judgement.
I have worked with Lena on various projects and found her very professional in her approach and execution. She has good insight in human behaviour and applies her knowledge and experience to co-create workable solutions. Her clients have always been very satisfied with the variety and options she puts forward. Lena is very good at establishing context for solutions and implementing tasks to a very high standard. Her willingness to learn and grow makes her an asset in any team.
I have done my business and personal coaching with Lena-Mari Josling and I highly recommend her sessions. Lena-Mari provides personalised coaching which is geared towards enhancing one's uniqueness while developing you into a holistically better human being. She also offers valuable life advice and life skills. Any individual whose aim is self-identification, realisation and actualisation would benefit a great deal from the sessions offered by Lena-Mari - her sessions are specially recommended for people in leadership and management.
To Lena-Mari, I would like to thank you for the valuable contributions you have unknowingly made to my career. Ideas you taught me, and tools you gave me, are still being implemented today. I wish you the very, very best. Keep making a difference.
I will definitely keep in touch and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help. I got invaluable value out of it. I can also feel a big difference in my mood.
