I found the guest speakers the most valuable information shared during this event. I am very pleased and thankful for the new information shared by them. I also enjoyed and found it very helpful when practicing with others new coaching sequences we learned. Excited to have this information to use it with my clients. Over all however, I feel I could've learned all of this via videos without having to make such a sacrifice to be there in person. I felt extremely disappointed when you guys used 2 (plus) hours to sell us a new product (Mastery), when that time could've been used in what I paid for, LEARNING SOMETHING NEW right there and then. On our last VIP lunch, I sat at a table of 10 people, and all of us with no exception felt the same. Everyone shared how disappointed (to say the least) we all felt. Not a right time and place to sell. Neither did I appreciate feeling like a looser for not being able to sign up for Mastery right there and then, or to feel like if I don't do it, there's no chances for me to figure things out on my own (or with other programs) to succeed. The VIP pass... absolutely not necessary at all. Food was far from healthy, and "extra trainings" during lunch were not valuable at all to me. So to me and a few others I talked to, I saw this as another money making tool which did not deliver what was promised. WAAAAAAY to much in 3 days. Me and my 3 other roommates felt extremely exhausted, and ready to go home by our second day (before dinner). Again, those 2 plus hours of selling us Mastery could've been used to teach us valuable new stuff, so we all could've finished earlier and gotten some good rest for the next day. I spent the 3rd day literally in pain and under stress. Needless to say, I was so depressed that my birthday wasn't acknowledged or celebrated in any way, even when I brought the best attitude from day one, and shared it with a few of the HCI crew. I gave myself this experience as the best gift I could've given myself, thinking I was going to have the best birthday of my life... (Nov 8th) that day was the selling Mastery experience, plus the long night with Carey sharing her story with us in a way I didn't find valuable at all... specially making us do the long visioning exercises that late at night when most of us were feeling exhausted, puts a lot of us to sleep and anxious to go to our rooms. Anyway, I do love this journey I'm in with BHC, I am using it to my best advantage and I am grateful for everything it's been shared so far. But I hope you guys understand that I get to be absolutely honest with my feedback because I would love for HCI Live to be improved so that others won't have the type of disappointing experience that I had, as I wish nothing but the best to you all. Thank you for your efforts and for taking the time to read through this. Love, Johanna.

It could at me thousands that I did not have and I got very little. It was definitely not worth it for me.

The reason for my 2 star rating is that I felt like the event turned into a marketing/sales opportunity for Mastery/All Star. I was personally overwhelmed and got very frustrated with the fact that every single opportunity was used to sell the Mastery program.

Waste of money. Very little nutritional information, just a few "theories" picked out of the air (blood type theory? Really?) This is just a very expensive class on how to teach self-care to others which will earn you an unnecessary certificate. And the self-care techniques are questionable at best. The only decent content of this class was the marketing portion. They also fail to mention how over-saturated the Health Coach field actually is and how much money you'll have to spend up front to market yourself. Spend your money elsewhere.

This really wasn't a quality education. What you get taught essentially, is a 12 week coaching programme that was created by one of the founders for her clients, but I was, quite honestly, embarrassed to offer this to my clients. It is not worth the money that you are supposed to be asking for, it's as simple as that. The 'Transformational Coaching Method', or 'TCM' that they teach is revolutionary, different to what others are doing but realistically, it is just asking questions that get to the heart of a clients desire for change - in a nutshell. It is advertised that you get nutritional education as part of the training - you don't. You get a basic overview of what causes hunger, and macro, and micro nutrients, which I suppose is fine if you are starting from scratch, which I wasn't. Other than that, what you get taught is that clients don't want more information on nutrition, they want change. To be fair, I did know this wasn't a nutritional education I was buying in to, but I was expecting more than I got. There was a lot of conversation around being certified by the CCE. Myself and many others in our group highlighted about half way through the course that the certification was advertised as CCE certified, but it transpires that it isn't. It is considered continuing education credit, but that's all. There was a lot of talk around, 'who told you that when you signed up, so we can ensure this is followed up on', but the truth of it is, there was a live video of Carey and Stacey talking about the accreditation themselves, that they were very excited about being able to offer this to their clients and how hard they worked to get the accreditation. Very disappointing, and support did nothing other than tell us they would look in to it. Lastly, as you would imagine, once you are on the training, they try to sell you so much more. BHC is just the beginning - you will learn the basics, but if you really want to do a great job with your clients, you'll have to spend another $8000 on 'Mastery', which if you look at the other reviews' is basically the same principle as BHC - a 12 week programme that everyone gets, scripts and all. You also get phone calls, trying to sell you live events. Perhaps I was a little naive about how these types of education are delivered, and the constant selling that you get when you sign up, but this was quite a surprise when I experienced it. Overall, I think I would summarise this as a very basic education and for sure lots of people go on to use this coaching package successfully and help people with serious health issues, but for me, I was looking to learn the skill of coaching, how to create a programme tailored to my clients needs, and how to be effective. This isn't what you get with HCI, sadly. If you want a fast track in to business with a 'done for you' programme with script - this may be for you, but beware - when you go to actually work with clients, I think you will realise how limiting this actually is to both you and you client.

A lot of what I’ve seen in Mastery is a repeat of BHC. The material is very similar and doesn’t go much deeper - just spread out over my time. Most of the content is pre recorded and does not feel like a good value for the price

Not worth the cost. Very few jobs available in the Health coaching field unless you are a nurse. Some good information but was difficult sitting through the online training while someone just reads the slides. Unorganized at times. Just wasn't for me and not what I was expecting.

The information given in this program is very simple. For the price, I feel like there can be some more in-depth information. I actually had to take another course after this one to educate myself further. In my opinion, there are better courses out there that have more information, more science based data, better tools and are less expensive.
