The Empath Closing School レビュー 

Relocating to Asia in search of a fresh start, I found myself grappling with unresolved family issues and a stagnating career in construction. Financial instability and a sense of aimlessness loomed large. It was during this challenging period that a friend introduced me to The Empath Closing School—a recommendation that would profoundly alter the trajectory of my life.

Initially skeptical, I was nonetheless intrigued by the compelling testimonials and decided to explore further. What captivated me was the depth and quality of the educational content, complemented by the live interactions with Lara Mcilwraith, the head trainer. Lara's approach is nothing short of inspirational; her empathy, patience, and unwavering support create a nurturing learning environment that fosters growth and confidence.

I was so engrossed in the program that I canceled my Netflix and gym memberships to dedicate myself fully to the training. The course is designed to be completed in approximately three months, but through commitment and the program's engaging structure, I achieved certification in just nine weeks.

The transformation I experienced was both personal and professional. Within four weeks, I noticed a significant shift in how I communicated and perceived others. The skills acquired not only enhanced my interpersonal interactions but also reshaped my mindset. Today, I am thrilled to share that I have secured a well-paying remote position, working comfortably from my home—a testament to Lara.

The community within The Empath Closing School is equally remarkable. Fellow students are supportive, collaborative, and driven, creating a positive and motivating atmosphere. Lara's dedication to each student's success is evident in her personalized feedback and the genuine care she extends to everyone.

In hindsight, discovering The Empath Closing School earlier could have expedited my journey to fulfillment and financial stability. For anyone seeking personal development and a rewarding career path, I wholeheartedly recommend this program. It's more than just a course; it's a life-changing experience.

This well-structured course blends professional skill development with integrity and heart-based communication—a combination that truly resonated with me from the very beginning.

In today’s fast-paced world, where competition and quick professionals often dominate, Lara felt like a breath of fresh air. Her profound love for people shines through in the High Ticket skillset she teaches, which sets this course apart from others. I truly enjoyed every minute of this challenging yet rewarding experience!

Lara excels in teaching High Ticket Conversational Sales, and her extensive background and knowledge are evident throughout the course. What really made a difference for me, though, was the personal support she provides. She has been a weekly cheerleader, offering guidance and encouragement when I needed it most.
The course is self-paced, and I’ve taken my time to absorb and integrate as much as possible.

One of the highlights of this experience is the wonderfully engaging and supportive community of students. The network we have is incredible, where we regularly engage in role plays that bring the learning to life. This collaborative environment has significantly enhanced my skills and boosted my confidence.

I joined the program as part of a career transition, moving from Holland to the inland areas of Portugal. I needed a new way to support myself, and the empathic conversational sales skills I’ve learned from The Empathic Closing School are exactly what I need. With Lara’s support and the knowledge I’ve gained, I am confident I will secure a role in the self-development sector—an area I’ve always been passionate about, having worked as a therapist in the past. This makes the transition even more meaningful to me.

A huge thank you to Lara and the team for your unwavering support, knowledge, and guidance throughout this career switch at the age of 56. I am incredibly grateful and excited for the fulfilling and lucrative career that lies ahead!

Hi, if you’re seeking remote work or looking to develop a skill set that offers both independence and financial freedom, this program is for you
The Empath Closing School came into my life at the perfect time — and it was exactly what I was looking for.
Lara is an incredible trainer: trustworthy, supportive, and truly passionate about helping others grow. The program isn’t just about sales — it’s about personal transformation.
What sets it apart is the inspiring community and the genuine care behind everything. This experience gave me clarity, confidence, and a skill set that aligns with both financial freedom and purpose.
If you’re looking for remote work, personal growth, and real opportunity, this is it. By the way, I'll be 82 on my next birthday.

I came across an advert for the Empath Closing School on Facebook last July, and it has truly transformed my life in more ways than I could have imagined. Although I’ve been working as a coach for many years, this training elevated my skills and experience to a whole new level. Learning how to follow a structured, transformational process to support life-changing decisions has been incredibly rewarding.

I absolutely loved the self-paced study format and it gave me the freedom to learn in my own time. But what really made this training stand out was the incredible community support from my peers on the same journey. The encouragement from my peers, combined with Lara’s exceptional guidance, created a powerful and nurturing learning environment.

Lara doesn't just know her stuff but she delivers it with authenticity and compassion. Every step of the way, we were supported and prepared for real-world application, which made all the difference. Lara, you are truly a legend I wouldn’t be where I am today without your fantastic training!!

What blew me away most was the level of post-certification support to find remote positions. I have had plenty of opportunities thanks to Lara and the team to practice my skills in the real world which has opened doors working with clients globally.

I’m now excited for a future filled with more time and financial freedom all while doing deeply rewarding work helping others transform their lives. If you're on the fence about joining, my advice is: go for it! This program will set you up for life. I’m so grateful I made this decision—thank you again, Lara!

The Empath Closing School changed the course of my life. As an expat working in retail, I longed for more freedom, financial growth, and meaningful work. Six months later, I’ve stepped into a remote role helping women transform their lives — exactly the kind of meaningful work I had always dreamed of but didnt know how to get there. Truly exciting times ahead.

What really sets this program apart is the incredible community of supportive, inspiring people from all backgrounds. And huge credit to Lara — a passionate, visionary leader — and the dedicated team who make this experience so special.

This isn’t just sales training — it’s personal transformation. If you’re ready to grow, connect, and align your career with your values, I can’t recommend it enough.

Frankly I'm shocked to see any bad reviews here. My experience has been amazing. Joined in November 2024, certified in mid February 2025 had first job offer in March. The training is fantastic, I consider myself well versed in psychology and would say I am emotionally intelligent so some content were skills were a great refresher, but other aspects were a real eye opener and sometimes a 'wake-up call'! I knew nothing about sales however and couldn't imagine myself ever doing that. But what appealed to me was that I didn't look at it as 'sales' particularly, rather helping people who really want to make a life change get out of their own way and make the best decision for themselves. That is hugely rewarding. To succeed in this you have to have that desire/attitude, which was possibly lacking in those trashing this course! Lara is a wonderful Lead Trainer, she really gives her all to help every single person on the course - I don't know when she finds time to sleep! A real added bonus is the Community - I'm still blown away by the support and kindness of everyone - such lovely lovely people. If you follow this course, complete the training, put in the practise and engage with the community, you will not fail to achieve what you want - but you do have to make the effort.

Take note that this review is from someone who has actually completed the course and been employed within a few weeks of graduating.

You will notice that all of the negative reviews which accuse this course of being a scam are from people who have never even enrolled and experienced the course. Quite appalling that Trustpilot would even allow this, but anyway let's move on.

First of all this isnt a ponzi scheme. If it was a ponzi scheme then you would only be working for this specific company after graduating. Yet that is only an option. In fact most students, including myself, get employed by other well known companies which have been around for years. Companies such as Marissa Peers' RTT, Joe Dispenza and Bob Proctor's endorsed Mind Movies by Natalie Ladwell (just to name a few), as they are partnered with The Empath Closing school.

As for the training, I received more than I expected. Lara takes her students' success very seriously and goes above and beyond to make sure her students graduate successfully and get employed by reputable companies.

Don't listen to the people reviewing something they haven't even experienced.

I recently completed the Remote Sales Advisor Training with The Empath Closing School, and I can honestly say this has been a game-changer for my career.

With 15 years in sales, I thought I’d seen it all — but discovering the world of Remote High-Ticket Closing opened up a whole new dimension I didn’t even know existed. Lara, the Head Trainer, along with her incredible team, delivered something truly rare in today’s world: underpromise and overdeliver.

The training is world-class. Whether you’re just starting out or already experienced in sales like I am, this program will stretch, sharpen, and elevate your skills to a whole new level. It’s designed to launch you into a professional, rewarding career — one filled with real growth, real impact, and real income potential. The care, support, and professionalism from Lara is exceptional — she genuinely wants you to succeed, and it shows.

What truly sets this apart? You’re not just trained — you’re connected to real job opportunities. That alone makes this a no-brainer investment.

To say I’m grateful would be an understatement. This has been the best investment I’ve made in years. If you’re on the fence — take the leap. Your future self will thank you.

PS: You can check my LinkedIn profile: Francesco Gatti High-Ticket Closer — I’m a real person and this is a real review. I can also vouch for many of the other positive reviews here. These are people I personally studied with, practised role-play with, and got certified alongside.

I found the Empath Closing School through Facebook, and instantly, the advert resonated with my life situation. I booked a discovery call with Lara, and after a conversation that lasted about 60 minutes, I was convinced that entering the world of Empathic Closing and High Ticket Sales was meant for me. Lara made no promises save one: If I put in the work, the outcome was assured. For the next 3 months, I worked my way through the online training platform, attended the live training sessions and made sure that I had role-play practice booked with my fellow students every day. I found myself certified and moving onto the next step of my journey. Within 3 days of certifying, Lara presented me with 3 opportunities from the school's network of preferred partner companies. All of which she felt would be a good fit for me. I had to interview for all of the positions, which Lara and the school helped prepare me for, and following that preparation, I was fortunate enough to receive offers from all three companies. One of these companies was the school itself. They needed well-trained closers, and after seeing my progress through the training, Lara and James offered me a shot at closing for them. I took it. It was a great first rodeo in the world of high-ticket sales. In the last 5 months, I closed 72K of sales, using the empathic and compassionate method that I have been trained in. Now, I am moving on to the next step in my career and looking at new opportunities. Lara and the team are graciously helping me with that, too. Providing all students with training on how to best position themselves as closers in the market alongside 1 on 1 sessions to help refine resumes, LinkedIn profiles and recommending opportunities. I would say that this career is not for everyone. Action breeds results, so you have to be willing to work. It takes time, but so does a college degree, and all you get at the end of that is a big chunk of debt. It's unrealistic to believe that you will be earning 5-10k in your first month (though not impossible), but within your first year, 5-10k is very realistic if you do the work. The program is billed this way. I have worked for ECS as a closer, and I would not have done so if it compromised my morals and values. That's not to say everything is perfect, but what business is? At the end of the day, I paid 4k to train and certify as a high ticket closer, I have 3 job offers within a week of certifying, and I have consistently earnt commissions of 2k - 5k since starting my new career, if I want to earn more I can...it's completely down to me and the effort I am willing to put in. Now, I have experience and will only move up the ladder. I had a failing business before this career move and was facing having to go home and give up my dream of living abroad as an expat. This changed everything for me, so what more can I say?

After working as an engineer for over 15 years and then setting up my business teaching English at home while my daughter was growing up, I was looking for an opportunity to transition into working online to gain location freedom, but still remain independent.

I decided to train as a Remote Advisor / Closer with the Empath Closing School as I was enthusiastic about learning a new skill, especially directly from someone who has been doing the job for a good number of years.

The training course Lara has built is excellent. It's a benchmark for what I would expect from a high-ticket offer. I can now understand why it's worth investing in a higher ticket program to really reach your objective. The course is extremely complete and therefore you need to spend an appropriate amount of time to complete it, obviously depending on how quickly you want to get through. A real plus is the opportunity to practise a lot in a very supportive community and also the detailed personalised feedback from Lara on practise calls at key stages of the training. There are also Q and A sessions and extra training themes on group live calls with Lara.

I've now completed the training successfully, and have the choice of applying for closing positions myself, or working on an offer with one of the ECS partners. I've chosen to work with one of the partners as I really appreciate the direct and constructive way of working of this company.

There is unfortunately some negativity in some of these posts, but there are people who simply love nothing more than posting their negative thoughts, with absolutely no understanding or direct first hand experiences of what they are commenting on. Have any actually completed the training, have any felt the support and encouragement that is the basis of this most amazing school for personal transformation. Have any felt the support given after Certifying, being shown how and where to apply for employment as freelancers. This School is a breath of fresh air, held in the highest regards by some of the most influential wellness businesses in the world - Mind Movies and RTT. Each of whom prefer to work with Certified graduates from this School, because of the high degree of training and peer to peer reviews. This is about encouragement to take one's life into one's control, to create one's own financial and personal freedom while traveling as freelance Remote Advisors, visiting any number of exotic locations in the world, if that is the desire. It is much easier to be sitting back wondering what it must be like to have your own successful business, to have the money to travel. Yes its easier to criticize and judge without any true in depth understanding, but what does that achieve - really! Commenting negatively is so much easier than doing the work to reap the benefits, or at least take the time to research to see what is actually true and what can be achieved, where anyone could have the same financial and personal freedom as those graduating and being Certified. This is one of the greatest experiences of my life, the sense of community and support, the care and respect is truly outstanding. All under the passionate support of Lara, the founder and chief trainer. Yes there are scams out there, there are also genuine opportunities through one's own hard work to gain financial and personal freedom. Don't throw a blanket of doubt or negativity over them all, do you own research, there are real opportunities out there, be proactive rather than reactive.

As both a coach and parent, I have always understood the importance of pursuing personal and professional growth. After all, if you're not prepared to put in the work on yourself, how can you begin to help others? I have spent years investing my time and money studying various courses. Some have been year-long courses, others shorter.
Including studying with Bob Proctor, John Assaraf’s Neurogym, Prosperity of Life, and iPEC coaching; while each offered valuable insights, the course that stands out for me as being the best value for money and hands down a worthwhile investment is the Empath Closing School.
The course content and Lara’s dedication and leadership are impressive. The community as a whole shares a positive, upbeat attitude and genuinely supports one another, which is inspiring, especially with so much negativity spouted on the internet.
What truly sets the Empath Closing School apart is the unwavering support offered by Lara, Lucy, and their team. They are truly committed to each and every student, even after certification.
If you are looking for authenticity and a community to belong to that values high standards and legal compliance, leading you on the path to lasting positive transformation, I highly recommend the Empath Closing School as the next best investment.

I joined the Empath Closing School last November 24. I had been looking to work online because I had moved abroad and don't hold a work permit as an expat. Being 55, I had been thinking maybe I was coming to the end of the road with my career & maybe I should just think about retiring. However, I still needed to recover from financial losses due to COVID, so I thought it was at least worth a phone call. I was extremely sceptical & have never been implosive or bought a course from a single phone call. I had a lot of questions and wanted proof that what I was being told was true and this was not some kind of elaborate scam. Gary, who I spoke with, not only answered all my questions, but he went above and beyond. He organised a call with a seasoned ex-student, whom I grilled for 45 minutes. I was not pushed or harassed in any way, so I decided, why not, I'll give it a go.
Wow, the standard & content of the training is exceptional. What I thought was going to be easy turned out to challenge me immensely, smashing through many of my own limiting beliefs. Lara is an exceptionally dedicated coach & extremely proficient within her knowledge of the High Ticket Sales sector. Today, after four months of daily practice, I was certified & I am now moving on to the recruitment phase, starting a new career, a career I thought I was too old for! Lara & the team will support me in finding a role that suits my knowledge base and sits well with my interests. I have watched many others go through the same process & have seen the results. This has been the best decision I have made for several years & given me the prospect of a much brighter future.

I joined The Empath Closing School in June 2023, unsure whether I could ever succeed in sales. Coming from a background in yoga, mindfulness, and travel, I never saw myself as a salesperson. However, the emotional intelligence, active listening, and empathy I had developed in my previous work turned out to be my biggest strengths—something this program helped me recognize and refine.

The training itself was high-quality and practical. What helped me the most were the live call reviews, where the trainer would break down real sales calls in real time. After completing the initial training, I continued receiving support through weekly call reviews and ongoing coaching, which helped me sharpen my skills as I navigated real-world sales scenarios.

Unlike other programs that simply teach you skills and leave you on your own, The Empath Closing School has direct partnerships with companies and placed me in a part-time role by September 2023. By December, I transitioned into a full-time sales role with a highly successful American company, where I had one of my highest-earning months in January 2024. The financial growth I experienced was beyond anything I could have achieved in a traditional career path—I more than doubled my annual income within months.

Now, a year later, I’ve taken the skills I learned and applied them to building my own business. I now work with a partner selling B2B, earning a 50/50 split instead of a commission percentage. The ability to close high-ticket sales has given me career flexibility, financial stability, and the confidence to work independently.

I’ve seen negative reviews calling this program a scam, and I genuinely believe they come from people who either didn’t take the training or didn’t put in the work. Sales is a skill like any other—it requires practice, resilience, and effort. This program provides the tools and mentorship, but it’s up to you to apply them.

If you're someone struggling to find remote work or looking for a skill set that offers both independence and financial growth, I highly recommend this program. It was a transformative experience for me, and I know it could be for others as well.

I was approached to join this organisation. I don't know how they got my email address. In the e-mails and attached videos, they talked a lot about how you could earn a good salary with this system.
Nowhere and none of the worker experience videos talked about what they are selling.
You have to pay €4'000 for this training. The organisation takes 10% of this salary.
From the reviews that I consequently read, it appears that you would be selling training to people once you have been trained.
That makes this a classical ponzi scheme. I therefore did not continue.
It is the classical approach of ponzi schemes to talk about high earning possibilities but little information of how you would earn it.
I would be very sceptical about working for this organisation. It has nothing to do with empathy skills and everything to do with a ponzi scheme.

I have been a salesman for 15 years, 15 years of traditional training often the old school boiler room style of selling. This approach is seen as Sharkey and pushy. Within weeks I realised I needed to throw everything I learned previously put and put effort into investing improving my skill set further. It's so comprehensive, your given a safe place to practice with other students (250ish) and feedback until you pass. It's sales pure and simple you pay for the course are mentored and guaranteed that if you complete the course and milestones get certified then the school will continue to help train indefinitely until you do. I'm struggling to see where the scam. EU registered organisation, transparent zoom to ask anything and intro phone calls to introduce you to the shool and explain it's not a job or a get rich scheme. Sales people get it straight away but working on fixed salary or hourly wage. The earning potential might seem unbelievable. So you pay for a course which allows you to without experience learn high ticket ethical selling you are protected with an EU backed agreement in writing. So everything other people have said positively is written in. It's hard work but selling always is but the beauty is warm leads. Making it more effective than cold calling hence many sales people love the training and you have a rich diverse community of motivated and compassionate students.

I had a long call with 1 of them.

Each information, I got it after a long effort of cutting sh!t and reading through their novlang.

From my understanding, they sell for 4,000 EUR an online program with no international recognition and no promise of employment.

You can complete this program at your own speed. They have like 200+ modules. Then you will be stuck to work for their few partners (around 10) with whom you might be employed because their certification, nobody knows it except them of course.

Their price is higher than a full semester online in deep science with the MIT that will give you international recognition. They have 0 big names to secure their certificate.

They use a bullshit novlang to sell you a "development" program that is just basically a training program to sell using low psychological manipulation technics. In those selling jobs, one of them is also to sell this program (partially ponzi).

They don't see themselves as sellers but "counselors". They change all the words like that to surf on a general trend on personal development.

Then they will charge 10% of your income if you work with their partners.
The legal frame of their system is outside any country. Cyprus. Good luck to get back your money in case of any issue.

It is not necessarily a scam, but clearly you will be dragged into a sh!thole where you will have your hands and feet tied to their program and system.

Their initial pitch is amateurish, unprofessional and tediously repetitive. Their chosen advocate, Lara, spends the entire time narrating every line on the visuals, precisely as they appear. Ludicrous and irritating to anyone with an IQ greater than their waist measurement.
The absence of professional sales skills is clear and the approach, regardless of its legitimacy, comes across as a scam.
