I’m proud to say that Strategic Samurai was just featured in Noozhawk, Santa Barbara and Goleta’s premiere online news source. Here’s a little of what Kevin McFadden from Noozhawk wrote. Enjoy!
While the concept may seem counterintuitive to many people, Kymberlee Weil, local entrepreneur and founder of Strategic Samurai, is using this philosophy of visualization and self-actualization to help people make major breakthroughs — both figuratively and literally — in their personal and professional lives.
Strategic Samurai involves a unique business platform that allows Weil, through group seminars as well as the occasional one-on-one session, to blend her proven business acumen with her extensive martial arts training to guide people through the process of identifying specific life obstacles, and then overcoming and breaking through those obstacles.
Near the conclusion of every seminar, each participant takes a dramatic leap to the physical world from the metaphorical world by actually breaking a ¾-inch-thick rough-cut piece of wood with their bare hands. To further personalize these symbolic breakthroughs, Weil has the participants write their obstacles on the wood just before breaking them in half.
Weil said the response she has received from the breakthroughs has been both surprising and life-altering — and not just for the participants.
“In the moment that the wood breaks, it is really life-changing,” she said. “People have told me over and over — and I’ve experienced it — but to have them come and tell me how it has changed their life, how they were stuck at a certain point in their career or in their relationship, and how breaking the wood was so symbolic, and it showed them how powerful they truly were — it brings people to a higher level, and that part is completely transformational for me as well.”
