There's good information and coaching techniques in the program - I have to dig around to get it and organize it. There are more than enough coaching demos and videos to watch. Sometimes, it's actually overload on the coaching webinars and they are promoted over the FB group page and sometimes on private coaches pages - it's up to you to figure it out and calendar it. That's unfortunate as I would have expected HCI to have a more organized way of doing this... scheduled out and pre-populated on our calendars on the dashboard, but they are not. As a matter of fact, I have not used the HCI calendar at all. We have empowerment calls - I don't really know what the purpose is of these. I fill out my form prior to the call and it never fails that I'm asked what I want to discuss...when it's already on the form that nobody is looking at. Also, this feels like a sales-y type call. I'm always reminded about mastery classes and fed the message of the current lesson (pillar/week) I'm in. These calls are nice, but not necessary. I get more value out of having open conversations with my fellow classmates. This is a big positive - I've developed relationships with other coaches and that will be invaluable for the future when I need advise or information. I absolutely detest the upselling during the weekly lessons (that I paid for) that really should just be coursework only. It's a waste of my time and it's also insulting that my lessons are turned into a marketing platform. It also never fails that we are asked to share the "one small step" message on social media - we are even given jpegs. This is infuriating because they went to extra step to make the jpeg so we could freely promote the company, yet we cannot get all of our client handouts zipped together in one file. Which leads me to.... I also wish the documentation/handouts were more organized. For the dollar amount paid, I would have expected that all of the coaching materials that correspond with each session overview, would have been bundled together. Instead, I am downloading documents and then going back to find documents from previous pillars and weeks and trying to match them up... sometimes we are told which handouts go with which session and sometimes we're not. It's very inconsistent and very disorganized. I find that the proofs are silly - HCI asks the same exact questions for every single proof per section. My OTR's were the same questions, my skills labs are all the same questions... who is reviewing these? Anyone? Where's my feedback from HCI on my proof? My answers go into the ethers and I also have no way of pulling those submissions back up to review myself - once I submit, they're gone. It would have made more sense for all of our proofs and other submissions to be housed somewhere on our dashboard to review. I think we would gain more if we could see where we're having trouble and where we're improving. I find some of the coaching demos to be disingenuous - I also feel like the scripts we are given will 100% need to be rewritten as we all deliver our messages differently. Why wouldn't HCI provide an open outline/draft for us? Instead I need to copy and edit and waste time on that - again, I would have felt my tuition would have covered this. It doesn't. I believe having a certification in health and life coaching will ultimately give ease to my clients, but I don't think this program is worth the money. They talk a good game of free live summits and demos and coaching calls, but all-in-all, these are sales pitches for us to buy into another program. The biggest positives have been the relationships I've built with fellow mates, the amount of documents and continued access to them, and the credibility of having the certification.

Basic! If you have never heard of eating healthy or mindfully, if you don't know breakfast is the most important meal, if you have never heard of slowing down when you eat, chewing your food, balancing your meals, and putting your fork down, if you don't know to clean your kitchen/de-clutter/throw away expired items, if you don't understand there is a relationship between you and your food choices, then this is the school for you!! The pros are that you get 6 actual coaching calls with a real live, amazing coach to help you thru this time period. Also, you can partake of 60 hours of coaching practice but do note, YOU ONLY NEED 30 hours to "graduate". So doing the 60 is entirely up to you! The information is SO basic it is silly! A joke amongst some of us is that we never want to hear about tongue scraping (yes, you read that right!) again!! I am done with Pillar 1 and it was not worth a penny, let alone the $3,995.00 asking price! I have been told by prior students that my complaints are common and valid and although Pillar 2 has better information, it is still painfully basic and slow! I found better certifications (which I am doing at the same time) online thru Udemy and other academies which are self paced. Do note, THIS IS NOT A SELF PACED CERTIFICATION. You can not work ahead even when the week only has 1 hour of video to watch! In fact, no week has been longer than 90 minutes or so, so do not expect to be challenged or overwhelmed or be able to move ahead if you can. YOU CAN NOT! This course is actually a 2 month course stretched into 6 months to make that hefty price tag seem acceptable. It is not! You can definitely find a better course out there! As of Pillar 1, this course is NOT worth the price! Save yourself a lot of money and do a different course. I would NOT recommend this course to anyone.

It was great when there was speakers who were giving us information/new content. It was very heavy on the "selling Mastery" and little on learning.

Without adequate seating throughout, it made parts hard to enjoy. Especially, when leaving for a break to come back and staff had reserved where you last sat for staff. Food options in the hotel were poor quality for over the top prices. Most staff were lovely. Chelsea, Teri Hjorti & Katie Mercari were gems. There was a gentleman who seems to be a staff leader, sat at reg. table in the back of the room, he's: heavy set, dark haired man - never smiled, was not pleasant to deal with.

I think it was a good event. I gain some me perspective on how to make a profit out of coaching. Pat Quinn’s presentation was amazing, as well as Eric Nuner’s. On the other hand, I think there should be more activities rewarding to Health and nutrition. I didn’t like that the Mastery program details were sell continually. Honestly I think they where a lot of people purchasing the Mastery Level with later regrets.

It was a wonderful event overall. Thank you!! The thing I didn’t like was that the marketing strategies for sign up to Mastery were heavily imbedded in the program. This started in earnest on Day 2 and peaked on day 3. There seemed to be quite a few vulnerable people who were swept up in this and probably signed up to Mastery due to an emotional response, despite their financial capacity. I also think that there could have been ways of bringing like minded people together Eg a meeting of over 50’s, Eg a meeting of international students, Eg a meeting of Australian & New Zealand students Eg a meeting of European students, Canadian students, South American students etc. For those of us who had travelled from overseas, it would have been nice to have been given a ‘spark pass’ as a thank you for coming so far.

The event was great! The hotel not so much! Alot of issues/problems!

I have now attended two HCILive events, both in 2019. The people I meet and the experiences shared at both events were transformational! I had an excellent time and learned much while I was there. The reason I can not give the HCILive event 5 stars, is because the content of these two events was 80% duplicated. It became very clear the purpose of this event was a 3 day sales pitch for the HCI Mastery Program. I'm glad I went to both events, but was disappointed by the lack of new content.
