| - I went through the entire program from discovery-breakthrough until the very end of leadership. I was 19-20 years old at the time. I entered the program with much enthusiasm. The cost was more than I was able to afford, being that I was young and still living with my parents. I was given a nice discount which saved me the cost. The first day of discovery was nerve wrecking for me. There was a lot of people in my particular group. I remained pretty closed off until we were paired up with different people and groups to perform different exercises. During discovery we had a women speaker/main coach.She would have random people stand and tell their stories/ life experiences. She would often interrupt them and start pointing out their "limiting beliefs". Not terrible but certainly abrasive. At the end of this session we were given an entirely new lingo of words, phrases and affirmations to repeat and use. You can almost always tell if a person was once a choice center graduate due to the particular words they are taught to use.
During breakthrough week we had a different coach. Another female. Again, a lot of exercises were performed. Within these exercises you're required to step out of your comfort zone, relive trauma, and supposedly heal from this. It felt like manipulation. A lot of 'building up emotion and breaking down'. There was a lot of sobbing and crying one moment and then moments later we would be asked to do more positive exercises where people would be laughing. Many emotionally vulnerable people were exposed. It didn't feel right to me so I participated lightly.
Towards the end of breakthrough we had to go out and "enroll" our loved ones to do this program. They used a lot of 'law of attraction' tactics. They would say "you're the creator of your reality' and you should therefore get enrollments easily. But if you weren't able to get enrollments there was an air of disappointment towards you and that you weren't a true creator. I felt that was wrong. It put people under a lot pressure. People were calling everyone they could, pushing them and almost begging them to do this program. No was not an option. I enrolled one person so I was clearly an undesirable lol. During this enrollment process I remember conversing with a few people about my suspicions of their intent and that their seller recruitment tactics were too aggressive and pushy. At which point I was confronted by the leading coach and was told very snarkishly in my ear that I was spreading poison --That if I could not be in it and do what's required that I need to leave. She made me feel afraid to voice my true feelings and wasn't this supposed to be a safe place to do that? So you're probably wondering why on earth did I stay and stick it out to the end? Well, contrary to the program my group had some very amazing individuals. One man did not want me to leave and without hesitation paid my leadership fees (well over 2g). This put a pressure that I cannot let his money go to waste. I half asses my entire leadership requirements but I showed up. Not for the program but for the friends I made in there. The owner of the facility, Robin, never spoke to me. Her focus stayed closely gravitated to the 'top tier' clients. The ones with the money who were able to 'enroll' other business elite desirables.
Lastly, an experience I had during leadership was what probably caused the most damage to my young and formidable mind was during an exercise where we had to go through each person and site them as "source" or "not source". I received many "not source" tallies. To some extent it was probably true. I didn't utilize my resource towards the group/program bc deep down I didn't believe in it. Not one coach or leader recognized my feelings and these are supposed to be trained 'life coaches'. I have to say it took me about a year after this program to really realize that it did me more damage than good and to recuperate from the negative feelings that were instilled into me.
I do not recommended choice center as a place to receive healing or acquire method on how to live life with clarity, peace and happiness. If you're like me and looking for true enlightenment, search it in yourself. This program is a business after all. If you feel you need a life coach to assist you in certain aspects, do your research on that individual. Ask for certificates and make sure they carry no bias.
