Ilze Alberts (1958) is the oldest child of her South African parents who played out the typical third generation scenario. They were born in wealthy families but never learned how to appreciate or look after the family wealth. They lost it all and made the "shirtsleeve-to-shirtsleeve in three generations" true. Ilze made it her mission and vision to write a book for her generations - a book offering guidelines and inspiration to preserve the wealth her family is building for multiple generations. She is a psychologist, family expert, mentor and human behaviour specialist, speaker and internationally published author. She has attracted clients such as high-net-worth families, leaders of companies and political parties and heads of prominent families. She loves playing golf and has traveled extensively. Her husband and three children are her pride and joy.
