⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5)
⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5) I attended this conference this weekend hoping to learn more about hypnosis and personal development. There were valuable educational moments and I met many wonderful attendees. However, I also had an experience that significantly affected my trust in the organization. During a casual conversation with members of the production team, I shared that the $7,995 certification represented a significant investment for me personally. I also shared a heartfelt story about my late father and a memorable trip we took to Las Vegas. The following day, comments from that conversation were referenced publicly during the conference in a way that I experienced as implying I was willing to spend money on a strip club but not invest in the certification. I raised my hand and clarified my actual meaning, but I was disappointed that a personal conversation became part of a public presentation. When I later asked about this, I was told that any side conversations with team members are commonly shared within the organization. While I understand internal communication, I had not expected a casual conversation to become public without my knowledge. My purpose in sharing this review is not to discourage anyone from attending. Rather, I encourage prospective participants to ask clear questions about privacy, confidentiality, and how conversations with staff may be used. For me, trust and psychological safety are essential in a personal growth environment, and this experience made me question whether my expectations aligned with the organization’s practices. I hope this feedback encourages reflection and continued improvement, because the educational content has value and participants deserve to feel respected throughout the experience.
