Meet Your Mentor
Lara Mcilwraith
Lara built The Empath Closing School from her own experience of teaching English in Thailand while watching her savings shrink. She knew she needed a skill that could earn Western pay, a path into established remote companies, and honest guidance from people who had already built the life she wanted. That realization became the foundation of the career pathway she now teaches.
After years of refining the system and training over 1,000 people into the same career, Lara has helped others build high-value, remote careers rooted in empathy. From paying off her mum’s debts to helping her re-retire at 69, she’s living proof that a career can give you both financial freedom and the freedom to go where you want.

REVIEWS
What Our Customers Have to Say
"It Is What It Says On The Box" I joined ECS in mid January 2025 and certified at the end of May. I started applying for jobs, which they facilitate, in early July. I received offers for the first job and third job I applied for. In short, ECS delivered exactly what it said it would—train, certify and help you find a job as a Closer. If you follow the training and put in the work, success is not only guaranteed, it's inevitable!
"I had no prior experience of closing…" Lara, who heads up The Empath Closing School is the perfect coach. She has the right balance of both experience and remembering what it's like to be a newbie. She leads with integrity, passion for the industry and empathy for her students. Thanks to this and her career guidance once I certified, I'm now enjoying consistent success with an offer I love.
"The Empath Closing School is legit" If you're someone who wants to close high-ticket deals without feeling pushy or fake, this is where you need to be. The training goes way beyond just learning a script. It's about real connection, emotional intelligence, and learning how to have honest conversations that actually serve the person in front of you.
"My amazing experience with the 'Empath Closing School'" I have since secured a fantastic high earning position which Lara and James put me forward for. To be absolutely clear, I would not have secured this position without the training, support, and advice from Lara and her amazing team. Enrolling on the course is without a doubt one of the best decisions I have ever made.
"I took a leap of faith… and I'm so glad I did!" I'd been working as an architect for 25 years, living in Thailand and felt like I wanted a change. Lara is amazing. Warm, funny, experienced, well connected, professional, supportive and so genuine. I certified in 2 months and I'm now preparing for interviews. If you are looking for a career change, I cannot recommend this enough.
"New skills and qualifications" I have been accepted to the school when I was in a very challenging moment of my life. It has been a transformative, rocky at times journey, but I wouldn't change a bit. Today I can work remotely from wherever I need to be. Enrolling myself to the school was the bravest and the best decision I have made.
