Western Cape Department of Health: Communications Team: December 2010

One day team building session

Here is some of the feedback:

• It was very informative, it was interactive and well organised.


• The interactivity on important work related issues as well as having fun

• The openness and lessons about working as a team with respect and integrity.

• Many things were brought to surface with solutions to solve it.

• I think our team is much closer now, the interaction getting to know each other better.

• Gave us a chance to share and look deep into ourselves as communicators.

• I have already sms'd my former editor and recommended that she take her teams on this workshop, usually workshops are dull and impractical but this was excellent and I really enjoyed it.

• It was very informative and I have learnt that there is a solution and ways of making life easier.

• Learnt a lot of new skills on how to handle difficult situations which I will make my own in my own way.

• I would strongly recommend for any work team whether public, private, successful or less.

• It gives perspective not only into your personal life but also into your work life.

• Makes one face yourself and often leave bravely.

• I'd encourage others to go for team building with Happivate too.

• It will help your team to know people better.

• Also an opportunity for staff to express things about management.

• Zane Green is informative, insightful and a master at coaching.

• All companies / departments should participate in such an exercise / workshops

• Good outcomes-based.

MARS Africa (MARS & Royco): October 2010

Conversations for High Performance (2 day workshop)

“Extremely powerful and life changing. Opens up so many opportunities within one’s personal life as well as business life.”

 “What worked was the lack of training material. We had the opportunity to participate. The workshop was truly about us!”

“Really good for improving teamwork. High impact being very effective to the point."


"Will roll out to the rest of the business. Well done!”

 “What worked really well was the way it was facilitated. Although Zane led the session, it felt as if we did it all by ourselves. Very powerful.”

“This workshop is an absolute must for any team to develop and build on their inter-relationship, trust and respect for each other.”

Daniella M. (Researcher: Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation): February 2010
“Today, nearing the end of only a 6-week life coaching program, I feel invigorated, energized and excited about my life! And the results are tangible too. I have stopped smoking (a habit I have held onto for almost 12 years), defined my key roles and responsibilities in my workplace, given away 3 bags of 'stuff' to the underprivileged (as a result of clearing out the clutter in my home), and most significantly to me, gone through the biggest work 'spurt' I have had yet in the 5 years of my Doctoral program - I am now 'on track' to completing it in just a few months.”


DataCash (Pty) LTD: December 2009
Team coaching (6 month program)


“This has changed the way I think and handle situations. I have learned to break bigger goals down into achievable milestones and also be more open to asking for support. I also see I have been hanging onto the same story for years and will stay stuck unless I address it.”

“This process has helped me realize that I am in charge of my own life and I can choose what to channel my energy into.”

“My mindset has changed and I feel much more positive and empowered to go for what I really want out of life.”

“This session has been motivating and inspiring, a wakeup call; and shows me the steps to take to complete what matters to me!”

Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation: December 2009
Empowerment Program for HIV lay counsellors (6 month program)

“The quality of time I spent with my children is much better now.”

“I see that often I give up on my goals because of a reason I have given myself, in my head, now I have the power to make a different choice.”

“The level of integrity has increased in my life and is causing positive changes in my relationships.”

“I find myself listening and engaging with my clients in a deeper and more empowering way…”


MARS Africa (MARS & Royco): July 2009

Jason. L (Product Manager)

I was awakened to “I can make real changes in my life” and this is how to do it! My coaching experience with Zane far exceeded my expectations. He has helped me create powerful and welcome changes in my life for which I am extremely grateful. I recommend him highly!

Conrad. M (Landscaper)

Through these sessions I learned much more about my personality, how to interact with more effectively with staff and clients, and to believe in myself. This is priceless!

Siya. K (Marketing Manager- Food)

This program is liberating and empowering. Good for business and my whole life!

Lisa. R (R&D Manager Food)

This program helps me gain insight into myself and make shifts in my personal and business life that have transformed my leadership capabilities.

Rikus. O (Supply Chain Manager)

This program has been life changing for me. I have gotten to know myself on a much deeper level and I am now able to make more authentic life changes.

Richard. H (Radio DJ)

I have been taught a technique and have been able to apply it immediately which has great power. Simple ideas with mammoth impacts. I just wish I had started sooner.

Cathy. C (Physiotherapist/ Certified Coach and Argus Cycle Tour Winner)

Wow Zane!
You are simply the best!
Thank You!
I am experiencing a real sense of freedom!

Patsy. H (Preschool teacher)

The greatest awareness I have come to in my coaching sessions with Zane, is that when I’m angry or annoyed it manifests as physical and it negatively impacts those around me.  Making the shift greatly impacted my relationships and communication. I now get what I want at no cost to others. It’s win-win all the way.

Mark. B (Business Owner)

Hi Zane

Your program is obviously working well for me. It may be unusual to offer a testimonial / feedback so early in the course but I'm already experiencing a 180 turnaround for the better and we're only 3/12 weeks into your program.

I have been talking to friends / family about the sessions / content and the effect is perpetual. I'm confident to recommend your program - you are welcome to use me as a reference - I'll be on the lookout for you too.

Thank you.

Claire. G (Online Media Manager)

One of the best things that has ever happened to me has been Life Coaching with Zane Green. He has the amazing ability to really hear what I am saying even when I don’t fully understand what I am saying and coach me to where I needed to be without having to force me to go there.

During the time that I was being coached:

  • I lost 13kg without drastically changing my eating or exercising habits.
  • I finally, after 8 years of denial, accepted my sons diagnosis and started loving him for who he is.
  • Received a promotion at work.
  • Stopped losing my temper on a daily basis, in fact, if I lose it monthly now it is a lot.
  • Became more focused on my short and long term goals and actually realized what it is I want out of life.
  • Most importantly I have accepted myself for who I am and have become a person that others want to be around.

Thanks Zane, it has been an amazing experience!

Daniella. M (Researcher)

I entered Zane Green Coaching feeling exhausted, struggling to balance the many demands of my busy life, and wondering how I could move into a place of feeling centered, calm, and 'on track'. I was hopeful, but weathered - over the years, I have completed numerous self-improvement courses, gone through world-class strategic planning training through my employment, read countless self-help/ goal-setting books, and been in therapy (with a strong cognitive-behavioral background) for over 15 years.

Today, nearing the end of only a 6-week coaching program, I feel invigorated, energized and excited about my life! And the results are tangible too. I have stopped smoking (a habit I have held onto for almost 12 years), defined my key roles and responsibilities in my workplace, given away 3 bags of 'stuff' to the underprivileged (as a result of clearing out the clutter in my home), and most significantly to me, gone through the biggest work 'spurt' I have had yet in the 5 years of my Doctoral program - I am now 'on track' to completing it in just a few months.

These results - both 'feeling' and evident - have occurred as a direct result of the coaching program. I marvel at how much has been achieved in only 6 hours of coaching - WOW!
