About Angelika (AC Prett)

I started writing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in 2000, long before “process documentation” became a corporate buzzword. Over the years, I’ve written and implemented hundreds of line‑ and machine‑specific SOPs for FMCG and industrial leaders including SABMiller, ABI, Cadbury’s, Mondelēz, Unitrans, Impala Platinum, Aquavitens, Distell, Coca‑Cola Fortune, iStore, and Middelburg Ferro Metals, across South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, and Ghana.

When I wasn’t writing SOPs, I was teaching others how to write them — coaching operators, engineers, and managers to create clear, practical documentation that actually worked on the factory floor. Later, I expanded into assessment and training, designing checklists and on‑the‑job evaluation tools that turned paper systems into measurable performance.

I hold both my BSc and BSc (Hons) in Botany from UNISA. Alongside my formal studies, I completed certifications in On‑the‑Job Coaching, Assessor Certification (Theta SETA), and courses in Time Management, Problem Solving, First‑Line Troubleshooting, and Project Management.

For over two decades — full‑time, part‑time, and freelance — I’ve worked in the space where structure meets growth. My curiosity about how people learn, adapt, and improve continues to drive everything I do — from building SOP systems and self‑growth frameworks to writing The Kingdom of Small Wins, a trilogy about resilience, reinvention, and the small victories that define a life rebuilt.
