Today's Business Breakthrough training was incredibly eye-opening. I was reminded that I am more inspiring than I give myself credit for, not the box I put myself in. I deepened my understanding of strategy - not just as a way to do things, but as a pattern of unmet needs, and to evaluate what's working or not. I explored the importance of being… Read more

okay with who I am, of seeing humanity in others, and holding space rather than fixing. I found it powerful to reflect on why i want to build and grow a business, what values matter, and whether my current strategy aligns with my desired income and impact. The ideas around scaling, outsourcing, and building strategies that deliver value without solely relying on me really landed. I learned to use the CAM model through each of the TRSUSTME levels, and how my capacity to help others is directly linked to how deeply I've done the work myself. The biggest shift for me was realising that people want to embody what I have - and that means I'm not just a marketing service, I'm actually marketing me - raw, real and outside the box!

Run away - Cult and scam – I initially had high hopes of becoming a coach to find relief from personal issues and help others effectively. However, I soon realized that their main focus is on marketing and advertising, and TCI is really good at it. They have developed a sales system (materials, one on one conversations, events) that targets your weak points, exploiting them… Read more

and getting you excited about achieving your dreams. They are excellent at this. I spent almost 60k in their programs I was really into fulfilling my dreams!

They then focus on emotionally manipulating you, making you feel like you must be part of their program. They use persuasion techniques learned from cults ([Name Removed] had admitted this), manipulating you in incredible ways to make you believe they are doing you a favor by taking your money and providing you with "valuable" content. In reality, the content is just a lot of information copied and pasted from others (literally). They claim to have developed models and systems, but this is not true. They overwhelm you with an endless amount of material that is essentially recycled from other sources.

If you even think about complaining, they manipulate you further, making you feel worse, as if it’s your fault and not theirs. [Name Removed] is a person who borders on being a psychopath with zero real empathy. She is an incredible actress, but when you see behind the scenes, you realize that what truly drives her is money.

This organization is one where most people who have worked for her leave with mental issues and feeling scammed. It's clear that the only thing they care about is how much money they can extract from you, making promises they do not fulfill and entangling you with their lawyers so that you have no way to claim anything back.

Many people ignore these reviews because they want to believe in their dreams, but this institution should have been shut down years ago due to the numerous abuses they commit, bordering on criminal behavior.

The International Coaching Institute is world class – The programs are researched based and have a proven success record. The driving force is to produce coaches who are leaders in their field of coaching and business. The founder and leading mentors are on board with current findings from leading global learning establishments. They bring this level of expertise to those who join the team at ICI.… Read more

The Institute takes pride in presenting cutting edge information from psychology, neuroscience and meditation practice and embed these in the coaching models with proven success. The teaching is excellent/mentoring, thorough and precise. Course content: Wide-ranging and the best in terms of quality. Level of difficulty: The four levels of tuition range from a thorough grounding in the coaching practice and the science behind it. At the higher levels the training is challenging and requires commitment, determination and a real love for the learning which you know, at this stage, will effect transformation of thinking in clients.

I continue to be blown away with the generosity of ICI and how they put on this free training on Business Breakthrough today. I am walking away with my mind blown around the evolution of human thinking and learning about how that can apply to our business and everyday life. Highly recommend being in the room with ANY of the facilitators from ICI

When you attend a International Coaching Institute event your mind begins to have clarity, As you embrace deeper a vail is lifted and will change your way of life for ever. Im a lifelong learner with ICI and here to stay :)

Thank you very much Remi, Rashid, and Team for the empowering Business Breakthrough. It delivered the breakthrough, the clarity the know how in key areas with life coaching of challenges cases raised by students that embedded the knowledge and understanding. The training covered strategies (what we believe works), lifecycle of the business (Start… Read more

up- creative and often informal), Launch (the tipping point before Growth, systemising), Growth (with full accountability), the (the Critical Alignment Model for decision making (elevating the challenge to see the underlying thinking that caused it), TRUSTME - decision making model looking at what is achievable and what is sustainable at different levels of maturity. Overall a powerful training. Thank you ICI.

Scam Fraudsters Con Artists Pyramid Ponzi Outfit – This cult is a complete SCAM brainwashing psychological abuse no chance of a refund unless you lodge a chargeback through your bank and/or go to AFCA. Do not fall into this pyramid ponzi scheme. Life coaching really isn't a thing. If you choose not to see this place for what it is then I guess you're dumb enough to deserve getting ripped

I was so excited about coaching until I joined TCI – I was so excited about coaching until I joined 'The Coaching Institute' also known as 'The International Coaching Institute'. You will pay thousands of dollars for a course that doesn't have accreditation with promises of full support with no follow through. Every training you will have hours of TCI trying to upsell you to another course that… Read more

will cost you thousands more. You will not finish the full course because the training platforms have bits and pieces of info everywhere, student assignments get lost with no accountability from TCI. They will want to lock you into 3 years of training which they call 'Pro Coach' and when you want to leave they offer no options and huge bills. It's not about the student's education or wellbeing, it's about how much money they can get out of you.

Good and Bad..and then mostly ugly – I commenced with TCI very positively in 2010. I started with the intake weekend which is what it was called back then. During the weekend I was sold into the Diploma program. I think I am one of few people who actually completed it. The reason I expended the effort of completing the program was that I loathed the thought of wasting the money I had… Read more

already invested to have no return. At that time, The Coaching Institute was still properly accredited. And then things went downhill. I, although I don't like to admit it, was absorbed into the TCI cult-like atmosphere. It's still astonishing to me that people around me could see it and I couldn't. When you are in it, everything seems good. It's when you're eyes are opened that it all becomes very very ugly. I was attending the Selling From The Stage program when Sharon Pearson (TCI Owner and founder) shared with the group that she had modelled TCI on the principles of Jonestown, the cult in which more than 900 people died as a result of drinking cyanide at the direction of the cult leader Jim Jones. Seriously? And this is whom she models? Fortunately, this was said on the day she decided to film the course. And I have the DVDs. My friend and I were both offered jobs at TCI. My friend accepted but I declined. And later I would become very glad that I did. Over the course of the following year, I saw my strong, confident, dynamic friend slowly decline, morphing into a shell of her former self, her confidence and self-esteem eaten away by the constant berating from SP. Nothing she did was good enough, no hours she worked were enough. The crunch came for her at a weekend at SP's coastal retreat when during a roundtable discussion one woman was determined as being NOT on the company bus, meaning not really part of the team and everyone at the table took turns in decimating her character until she was reduced to a gibbering mess. My friend stood up and bravely resigned on the spot. She said there were two reasons, one being that that was the last straw and the second being she decided not to subject herself to the same treatment. Breaking people down does not make them stronger; it destroys them. TCI prides itself on being a cult. And if you are not in the cult, you are out of the cult, and that means you don't exist to them. Your phone stops ringing, and you experience isolation and withdrawal as you come to terms with what has happened to you, that the past few years have all been an illusion, and there was nothing real except the thousands of dollars you expended. On a side note, for those who are interested, my understanding from a very good source is that the sudden voluntary departure of lauded NLP trainer, Alice Haemmerle (allegedly for having not been paid in more than six months) triggered the 2013 crisis with the ABNLP as SP scrambled to hold on to students who were walking out the door on day one of NLP training when they found AH had gone. Please save your money and go somewhere else. TCI holds no recognised accreditations at an RTO, having lost them all through failing audits. They have been discredited by the Australian Board of NLP who will not recognise TCI qualifications. Their good teaching staff have left. If you are determined to become a life coach, find yourself a reputable organisation. This is not it.

Through today's Business Mastery Training who I became as a business owner was transformational in mindset, structure, implementation and the community is a network I truly value. Its an incredible journey to be a coach that is making an impact in the world. Thank you Remi, Rashid,

Today's business coaching training with Remi was incredibly insightful. It expanded my thinking and opened up new perspectives. I especially loved the meaningful conversations—Remi has a gift for drawing out the gold and delivering things straight and direct, which really landed with me.

The knowledge from Remi was so mind-blowing absolutely loved the wealth of knowledge that she brings to the training. The explanations that were provided clarified the use of systems that we have learnt. watching her coach was phenomenal loved every minute of it.

Thank you Remi and ICI! I attended the Business Breakthrough training and although I have been introduced to these models before, the content that was delivered today was 10x'd. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience and your heart which is rare to see in a business training.

As always, this facilitation from The Coaching Institute has been life changing! The amount of knowledge delivered so beautifully and in a way that is easy to understand both logically and emotionally, has the ability to change the world as we know it. The value this team brings to the table every time is impeccable and I will recommend this school to everyone always!!

Remi always has so much value to share. She speaks to the inner parts of me and helps me to reflect on my past and present and her shares always set me up for my next steps. It helps me to build my energy and momentum!

Friendly staff – Their staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating from the moment I first inquired, and their support throughout the entire process was outstanding. I gained a wealth of inspiration and motivation, which has helped me nurture and strengthen my growth mindset.
