Testimonials

GOLF



„I was very pleased with my mental game today. Although I had to wait - played with people who didn't played their best golf - I managed to stay focused on my own game. I also didn't give up after a bad hole or 2 bad strokes. The result – I was the winner of the competition!   What has your workshop done with me Sabana?!“  
Saskia van Oldenborgh


„When I arrived at the Kagami Seminar, my game was awful and I was not even having fun playing.. (Unimaginable!!) During the last year my technique had deteriorated so badly that over 13 tournaments my handicap rose from 15.8 to 17.1 . The Kagami Seminar not only helped me find the fun in my game again, but also helped me bring my handicap down to 15.9 in the 2nd tournament after the seminar. All that in just 3 days! Thank you Sabana, through your unique character you have enriched my life”.
Bernd Köhler


„I was astonished to observe during a Kagami weekend workshop how an experienced, success orientated golfer, on the edge of a single handicap, finally gave up analysing every movement she made - and almost against her will – relaxed into the visualisation of the Waterwheel. Suddenly the series of small blemishes in her otherwise successful swing were gone – something that no instruction had been able to achieve.”
Michael Schanze


“When golf was for me pure stress, it could become a remedy thanks to your help. For the first time since I am playing golf, I experience joy before and after the game, even when my golf is not always good. I feel such freedom. Thank you Sabana”.
Isabel Roberts


„I had a lot of fun during your Kagami Seminar and hope to translate my positive experiences into my game in the future! Remembering the exercise „Pulling the trouser pocket“ and „What happened to the tee?“ have helped me get back my swing feeling again. Through the visualisations of „How will the ball fly“ and „where will it land“ my short game is also going well now.“
Christina Mach


"During my second tournament after the KAGAMI Seminar, I played to a 7 handicap for the first time in my life. As a visually orientated person, the KAGAMI picture exercises have helped me very much."
Klaus


COMMUNICATIONS & COACHING


„The recent communications seminars you and Edwin ran for us have benefited our operation considerably. The Managers present are asking more questions, and through this have become more supportive and effective for the sales team. For two of the sales executives the seminar had a huge impact on their self-confidence and attitudes: they were really struggling prior to the seminar, and directly afterwards took the 1st and 2nd positions in sales for the month."
Robin Griffith, Project Director, Marriott Vacation Club, Mallorca.


„Through the excellent coaching of Sabana Crowcroft I have been able to alter my perspective to focus on the essence of challenges. This has allowed me to find more peace, clarity and inner balance, both in my business and privately."
Käte Harms, Patient Care Director, Klinikum Ludwigshafen


"It was an absolutely super day this Kagami-Coaching-Day, it really changed my life. Not instantly but subtly. Now, when I am driving a car, I am driving and not busy with the past or with the future. When I am eating, I eat. And very significant – when I have a business meeting, I am totally present. The experiences are amazing, how the colors become more intensive…."
Dieter Klages, Klages & Partner GmbH



MANAGEMENT & LEADERSHIP



“I would like to applaud the Kagami training seminars conducted by Sabana Crowcroft. During my time as Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Marriott Vacation Club International - Europe and the ME, Sabana assisted in improving the performance of my organisation which was comprised of a large group of experienced direct sales executives and sales managers. Through the Kagami training, Sabana helped unlock the true potential of the sales management team, specifically improving their communication with one another as well as with the sales team. The training also helped individual sales executives in their personal performances where other types of methodologies had failed.

Having been in direct sales for 20 some years, I too had the opportunity of learning new techniques in the Kagami training which helped me improve my understanding of how decisions are made and how to get the best performance out of a team.”

Julia Ward (Vieira) Former Vice President of Sales & Marketing Europe & Middle East. Marriott Vacation Club International.

“Sabana’s methods are proving to have immediate impact on my people and myself. Already there is a new willingness to listen to each other, to embrace creativity and to respect each others competencies. We are all enjoying her concepts, which are certainly opening our minds.”

Linda Pampallis, Managing Director, Thompsons Africa


“During the 11 months that Sabana Crowcroft has been running Kagami programmes for our Company, we have been able to measure considerable improvements in specific competencies through 360 degree questionnaires.  In particular, the staff has become a cohesive team with greatly improved communication and motivation. Individual development has been more pronounced in some cases than in others but all staff have benefited from an improved understanding of their strengths and weaknesses and the role that they play in the company.

I would recommend Kagami to any company looking for a training or coaching solution based on the positive experiences that we have had and the benefits gained over the last year.”
Gert Tuppinger, CEO, Accor Services, South Africa.


"Dear Sabana, Dear Lothar, Two weeks have passed since the Inner Leadership Seminar. I am happy to report that the participants are still very enthusiastic. I recognise in my daily interactions with my colleagues, that the experiences and knowledge gained during the seminar have been deeply integrated. The seminar venue, the content, the exercises to strengthen the content, both of you Sabana and Lothar as trainers and finally the results of our 3 days together were excellent. A harmonious package – in every respect ingenious. Thank you and best regards.”
August Stadlmayr, Managing Director, Federal Mogul DEVA GmbH


“Dear Sabana, Dear Tineke, Our two day Kagami Seminar in St. Leon-Rot was a complete success. With the help of your outstanding coaching, the Management Team were able to initiate the development for the employment positions of the Department and the necessary strategic adjustments – all in 2 days. In particular the Coaching exercises on the Driving Range were not only great fun, they were also able to make clear to us how important the often quite different respective career contexts are to our communication as a team. In our day to day work we are pleasantly surprised at the sustainable clarity the Seminar has provided us with. We experienced in these two days together just how strong and creative we are as a team and therefore are moving into the future full of confidence and composure. Many thanks and heartfelt wishes.”
Käte Harms, Patient Care Director & Managing Director, Klinikum Ludwigshafen


„With simple exercises a lot can be achieved. The Kagami exercises are effective in their totality. Coming to oneself, attention, awareness, the understanding of the hear and now, the differentiation between mind and the “rest”, the Pendulum of Peak Performance: all of these elements are intertwined with each other. Therefore the development of new perspectives is a self-discovery process. For this reason, the Kagami Seminar is authentic, sustainable, and enriching, in it’s own special way."
Carsten Klein, Manager, Alcas GmbH


„As always it was great fun working with you in the Kagami Seminar. It was once more amazing to recognise that one can discover so much about oneself with relatively simple things. My office organisation is now stress free, and since January the project “A Stress Free Workplace” is on the yearly plan with my staff from the Quality Control. In various discussions I have used different elements from your Seminar to good effect. It gets better each day! Thank you for your support. Very best regards.”
Erich Alber Manager, Federal Mogul DEVA GmbH
