YoIt 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. I accepted the first offer and am currently working for this company as a Closer.
I had and continue to have nothing but positive experiences with ECS. Lara is a top rate trainer and once you certify, her level of support is incredible. It is very impressive how she is able to provide timeous, individual support to each graduate student as they prepare for interviews.
In short, ECS delivered exactly what it said it would, i.e. train, certify and help you find a job as a Closer.
It´s simple, 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…
I had no prior experience of closing High Ticket Sales. I was both excited and terrified at the same time. 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 a huge amount of integrity, passion for the industry and empathy for her students. Her mission is to help us succeed and be valuable additions to our future companies/offers. In doing that she is an absolute straight talker - she says what we need to hear, not necessarily what we want to hear. But always in a constructive and often fun way. Learning was a pleasure. The principles we are taught apply to any role in the High Ticket space and 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
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.
I came in expecting a few sales tricks, but what I got was way deeper. Confidence, clarity, and a way to sell that feels aligned with who I am. It’s helped me grow not just in sales, but as a person.
And one of the best parts? The support doesn’t stop after certification. The team continues to show up, answer questions, and create space to grow. You don’t feel like you're on your own once the course ends. They actually care about your long-term success.

My amazing experience with the 'Empath closing School'
I joined the 'Empath closing School' program in November 2024, and was certified and accredited a few months later, after completing the online training and learning course.
I have since secured a fantastic high earning position (I have earned over $2,000 in commission this week over 4 days, and expect to earn at least $11,000 for the last 4 week period) which Lara and James put me forward for and helped me secure an interview. To be absolutely clear, I would not have secured this position without the training, support, and advice from Lara and her amazing team at the 'Empath Closing School'.
Enrolling on the 'Empath Closing School' course is without a doubt one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I would encourage anyone, who wants to become part of a highly professional, ethical and caring online learning community to consider enrolling on the 'Empath Closing School' learning and training course....you will be very glad that you did!

I took a leap of faith… and I’m so glad I did!
Wow, what a journey it’s been—and such a good one! I’d been working as an architect for 25 years, living in Thailand and felt like I wanted a change and there were many things about the ads from The Empath Closing School that ticked my boxes: good salary, and working remotely and autonomously. I’ll admit, I was a little sceptical at first. I’d never heard of The Empath Closing School or ever responded to an YouTube ad but I trusted my gut and took, what felt like, a leap of faith and I haven’t looked back!
Lara is amazing. Warm, funny, experienced , well connected, professional, supportive and so genuine. Through her programme, I’ve learnt so much about ethical, modern-day selling—helping people make decisions they want to make, not ones they’ll regret. No pushy tactics. Just real connection and conversation.
I certified in 2 months and I’m now preparing for interviews. Lara and her team are being so helpful with this part of the journey too and I have absolutely no doubt I’ll be successful and when I am I’ll update this review and let you know. 😀
If you are looking for a career change, I can not recommend this enough. Trust your gut and take that leap of faith!

I have been accepted to the school, when I was in a very challenging moment of my life. I needed to find a quick, alternative source of income in order to provide for myself and my family. 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 at times. I keep improving my skills and I have the school team members to reach out for help at any time, which I truly appreciate. Enrolling myself to the school, when absolutely nothing was certain at the time, was the bravest and the best decision I have made. I'll always be grateful to the ECS for helping me become a new person with new skills and qualifications. The future looks bright for me again :-)

I come from an educational background and have been teaching for over 20 years. I worked in the classroom but there was always a lot of preparing, planning, reporting and managing, then I moved to teaching online and unfortunately after 8 years with the same company the pay was just too low and not sufficient without having to do more hours. I felt the time had come to take more control of my life and do something different. I came across The Empath Closing School in August 2023 and started the course in January 2024. The course is self-paced and online so I could study as well as teacher at the time. The course first gave me a mindset – reset… (which is always a good thing). Then came the development of the skill set. I always thought I had good communication, but I soon learned there was plenty room for improvement. There is also plenty opportunity to get practical experience in too with lovely fellow students from all over the world. There are weekly support meetings led by the lovely Lara, head trainer, who really couldn’t be more helpful. Lara is a specialist in this field and has a fountain of knowledge which she is always happy & willing to share with her students. I needed this course to help me have the change I was looking for. I certified and got my first job working for a Health & Wellness company. I consistently closed sales call and earnt an income. I have now been able to stop teaching altogether. June 2025.

Life-Changing — Beyond Anything I Expected!
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.

A great example of authenticity and commitment to their students
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.

The Empath closing school was exactly what I needed. They come exactly as advertised except they gave me way more than they promised. Not only did the school support me every step of the way, but the community they attract to the school were also entirely supportive. I have not only a new high-ticket skill under my belt, but life long friends around the globe all from their program. On top of that I now have a career based on what I learned.
The program itself is well paced, whether you learn fast or need to take your time and the feedback is always directed toward your success. After certification Lara and the team give you even more support and backing to make sure you can take confident steps toward success in the industry. I won't claim it was easy, it is still school after all. But every time I reached out for support to get through a tough spot it was there. This is the place to go if you're an empath and looking to build an incredible skill.

The Empath Closing School ,From Retail to Remote Fulfillment – Truly Transformational changed the…
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.

Beware of Negative Reviews by People Who Have Not Even Enrolled in the Course
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.

Best experience with the Empath Closing School!!
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!

I joined the Empath Closing School last…Nov 24
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 have been a salesman for 15 years
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.

Don't stop evolving and growing!
If you're reading up on the Empath Closing School (ECS) here, it's likely because something got you curious about this course, just like I was super curious when I saw the ad.
But like so many of us in life, we want something, but then talk ourselves out it, and we actually look for reasons NOT to do it, such as choosing to read the negative reviews here only and because of them decide you've got a good reason not to train with ECS to become an Empathic Closer. You'd be missing a ton if you chose to do that.
Sure, read the negative reviews if you want, but wow, do NOT skip reading all the positive reviews. If you're open minded, it will be impossible not to see the lameness of the negative reviews, and the sincerity in the positive.
This is exactly why people need an Empathic Closer to help guide them to a decision they want to make but fear and other limiting beliefs / objections get in the way. This course has been amazing and exciting from the start!
Decision making and both buying / selling is hugely psychological, and this is why I was drawn to this course from the very start! I love the psychology of human behaviour and selling.
I was already a trained and skilled Life Coach and Counsellor, confident and successful already in selling high-ticket programs for my own business!
But wow, this course has really opened my eyes to what I was missing in the whole process of empathic selling - active listening, being in the moment with the client, challenging limiting beliefs and objections, and gently but confidently leading the person to the right decision.
I'll admit I was always a sort of "listen, do you want this or not" guy in my own business. I saw objections and limiting beliefs as just lame excuses to get out of wanting to fork out money for something that they know they want. Was I wrong! They are normal and typical psychology at play!
I'm super grateful for Lara and the ECS. I joined Dec 16th, 2024. Took me three tries to get certified on April 24th, 2025, from a successful role-play call, and since then the training hasn't stopped and the job opportunities are everywhere.
After moving abroad to Asia from Canada, I struggled to continue running my business with a huge time zone gap, working with clients early mornings and late evenings. Very tiring!
Now, being a high-ticket remote closer for my niche, the personal development space, I'm now able to make awesome money helping people to continue in personal growth - totally aligned with my own mission. And I still run my own business as well and even use my new skills to continue closing my own offers!
My uni degree was in Education with a major in teaching English to speakers of other languages. I then later pivoted to become a Personal Fitness Trainer and Nutritional Consultant. Later I pivoted again into the Life Coaching and Counselling space, and now, a high-ticket Remote Sales Closer.
Take the course - don't stop evolving and growing! That's what makes life interesting and full!
Thanks again Lara and the ECS!

After spending my entire career in corporate, I reached my early 30s and realized I wasn’t making real progress toward my life goals or the quality of life I truly wanted. Living in a third-world country like South Africa, I had limited opportunities to travel, and I knew something had to change.
I always wanted to be in sales—but not corporate sales. I wanted to make money in a way that aligned with my values, helping people change their lives ethically. After praying about it, I came across this program 2–3 years later, and it completely transformed my life for the better.
If you’re not willing to truly commit—to focus on yourself and embrace change for at least six months to a year—then you’re probably not ready to transform your life. But if you are ready, this program is hands down the best place to start.
What makes this program unique is that the transformation starts with you. The books Lara recommended completely shifted my perspective on life and helped me evolve into the person I needed to be—both personally and professionally. The training shaped me into an ethical closer and a true Transformation Advisor. And the best part? I did all this while still working my 9-to-5 job.
After just three months of closing on my first offer, I’m already earning two-thirds of my salary, and I’m on the verge of fully transitioning into this career. The process works, and once you grasp it, you gain a vital life skill. What’s even better is that once you're placed, you still have full access to the program and live coaching sessions with Lara to keep improving.
I won’t sugarcoat it—the investment was a significant commitment, especially as a South African. But this program aligned with me so deeply that I was willing to make the necessary sacrifices. I sold my car, took public transport to work, and managed my budget carefully. Looking back, every single sacrifice was part of the process that shaped me into the person I needed to become in order to help others change their lives.
Real change isn’t easy. It takes determination, commitment, and sacrifice. But now, I’m truly proud of the person I’ve become.
This program is thorough, and my biggest advice is: do not cut corners. Read the books. Keep an open mind. Absorb everything. I now realize how much of life I had misunderstood, and after seeing the results firsthand, I know the opportunities that come from this are real.
If you’re looking for a way to help people make life-changing decisions using an ethical yet powerful technique—while earning what you’re worth, having time freedom, and working from anywhere in the world—this program is a must.
Stepping out of my comfort zone, investing my time, money, and energy into this program was absolutely worth it.

Unique Sales Training That Makes You Your Best
I live abroad, and was stuck in a low-paying job when I saw an advertisement for The Empath Closing School. It promised to teach a new type of work in Conversational Closing for high-ticket sales, where with the right skills, a person with no previous sales experience could access countless high paying opportunities. Frankly, I had never heard or dreamed of this type of work, but it was intriguing because they often place graduates in roles as closers in the personal development field which is right up my alley.
I interviewed to get accepted into the school, and enrolled on a payment plan, with a promise that upon graduation, they would place me in a role that I would find fulfilling. The training was intense, demanding, required me to grow, and use my mind in ways that were outside of my comfort zone. I persevered and graduated after four months of real effort and intense learning.
Upon graduating, I was presented with opportunities. I interviewed, flailed, improved, learned, and gained confidence and skills to hone in on exactly the job I wanted. That was a role where I could help individuals make a transformative life decision and enroll them into a program that could propel their life into something that would change their life forever.
I got hired, and I trained learning computer skills I never experienced. It was challenging, but I kept going until I was finally ready. The type of selling we are trained to do is one on one Zoom calls. I had mastered this skill and was hired along with other applicants that had years of sales experience. But I was formally trained by the best of the best.
My first day of work was a half day. I earned as much as my two week paycheck in my previous job in a single day. I’m on track to earn over $10k USD in my first month with room to advance further still. This type of job, and this type of income were beyond my wildest dreams. But it worked.
Why? Because the training is the best of the best. It requires you to master new skills and think on your feet in live Zoom calls. This is a course that you pass not because you did the modules. You are required to prove your skills in an array of sales strategies that empower the prospective client. You don’t sell, you empower. By doing so, you can help a person make a very hard decision that’s both scary and out of their comfort zone, because you help them to gain clarity on their situation, and by making a difficult choice, it can open doors they never dreamed of.
When I signed up, it was made clear… “Endure short-term discomfort to learn new skills, which in turn leads to long-term comfort.” Another one, “We don’t train you so you feel better, we train you to BE better!” All delivered as promised. I am so happy and proud of my new life. And I only work six hours per day, because we were trained to create our desired life on our own terms, and free time for quality of life is just as important as a lucrative income.
This is the most money I’ve ever made in my entire life. I’m 59 years old, and I know that with my skill set, I’ll always be in demand as the world changes in the future.
Thank you to Lara, the founder of The Empath Closing School for holding standards high, and placing graduates in lucrative roles upon completion. If you want a solid career that will always be in demand, a role as a high ticket sales closer is a fulfilling career where you really get to help people around the globe, and have a positive impact. And The Empath Closing School is the real deal… Best of the best!

A life changing skillset that opened doors for me
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 mThe Empath School delivers on what they Promise
I had seen the ads in early December of 2024 and finally bought the course in January of 2025. I did look at reviews on Reddit but they were mostly from people who hadn't bought the course.
I started the program on January 21, 2025. I graduated on April 29th. It was probably one of the hardest courses I've ever had to do because of my fears and insecurties surrounding "sales" even though I have been taking care of the sales for my wife's business who is a voice over artist for the last 11 years. I learned SOOOO much and had to process it all.
On the ads they say they will help you find a job within the first year and they followed through with that. After a few interviews I took a position with a Solar company that fit my needs on June 17th.
I never thought I would ever work in this field, but then again, I never thought I would ever had bought a course that specializes in ehtical sales.
Lara and her team are fantastic, plus I have met so many wonderful people that I role played with. This course was worth every penny because they actually delivered on what they promised.
You will walk away with a new skill and you will have lots of options for work within the "closing world". All you need to do is apply yourself and do the work!

A life changing skillset that opened doors for me
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.

A real business run by a real woman & creating real results
When I came across the ad for The Empath Closing School while scrolling through Instagram, I was curious and a little skeptical (as many of us are when it comes to Instagram ads, I suppose). Before even clicking the link, I did some research on the business, and on the lady who runs it (Lara Mcilwraith). I found both good and bad reviews but noticed that all the bad ones were written by people who hadn't even taken her course--they were simply speculating and then trash-talking.
I decided to at least book a "discovery call" to see what it was about and get the chance to speak to someone on the team. I spoke with an advisor named Gary and we had a conversation that brought forward the things I was struggling with and what I wanted to do about it in such a simple, matter-of-fact way. By the end of our Zoom call, I was both extremely nervous and excited—nervous because I had zero experience in sales (which is what this course teaches you about) and excited because this may just be a turning point for me. I got enrolled, got access to the learning platform, and started looking through the content that same day.
Now, even though there's a 2-week money-back guarantee (as per UK law where The Empath Closing School is registered), I didn't look back once I jumped into the video lessons and started learning about the world of sales—ethical sales to be specific. I was enjoying learning a new skill, exploring the side of sales that doesn’t make me squirm and interacting with people who had similar values, mindsets, and goals. I had a bit of a hiatus during the training process as I was backpacking at the time and didn’t have consistent access to strong wifi and/or a quiet space to dial in, however, I certified before coming home to Canada and am now in the second phase of the program which is finding a job.
So far, Lara (founder & head trainer) has been super helpful in answering questions and guiding me in taking steps towards finding the right role for me. As I’m still working on this part of the process, I may have to come back and update this once I commit to a role, but so far, this program has been one of the best decisions I’ve made to create change and feel closer to making my long-term goals a reality.
Huge thank you to Lara, my peers in the program, and my family for the opportunity to grow as a person, find a job that I ACTUALLY enjoy and believe in the mission of, and get a head start in becoming financially free.

Before you judge, do the work to understand the truth.
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.

Complete practical closer training
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.

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?

Brilliant! It's a must if you are wanting a life change, Do not hesitate to join.
The Empath Closing School was exactly what I needed and came at the perfect time.
Lara is an exceptional trainer and is very trustworthy and is always on hand whenever needed. The whole experience was fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable.
The community and support as a whole is amazing, very positive as well as motivating.
After certifying, I was employed very quickly as a transformational advisor which I have been doing for nearly a year already. The income is great, and the freedom of time is a great bonus to manage all the things I was missing out on.
I cannot thank Lara and the team enough, the school does exactly what it says it will do and it has truly transformed my life around.

I got more than I anticipated!
I got more than I anticipated! The training is comprehensive. The twice-weekly group Zoom calls detail the aspects of the training while supporting students in the practical application of the deceptively small, but hugely important details when interacting with clients. The conversational relationship-building basis of the training not only positively impacted on my personal life, but gives me the confidence to step into any sales or related role where interaction with people in general, and clients specifically is required.
Besides the training, the friendships made during this time is a highlight for me!
Definitely a highly recommended program and excellent leadership by Lara!!

Transformational Experience – So Grateful!
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Empath Closing School. From start to finish, the program exceeded all of my expectations. The training was not only comprehensive but also deeply transformational — both professionally and personally. I gained powerful communication tools and sales techniques rooted in connection and authenticity — not manipulation.
What really stood out was the level of support. The team goes above and beyond to ensure you're not just learning, but truly mastering the material and implementing it with confidence.
Thanks to Empath Closing School, I’ve experienced a major mindset shift around sales and have already started seeing real results. If you're looking for heart-centered, high-impact sales training, look no further. This school is the real deal!

Life changing experience - best choice ever!
As an expat teaching online, I wasn't making much money at all. I had just bought a cheap house in Italy (Living la vita Sarda is my Youtube for reference) and wasn't really sure how to make ends meet and then some.
I saw an ad for the empath school back in October of 2024 and diligently watched and learnt all I could and then signed up for a call. I remember telling a friend about it and saying "I think this is the thing I'm meant to do".
I had a call with a great guy called Glen and he helped scared little me at the time make a very important decision that has really changed my life.
Like everything in life, it is up to you to follow through and do the work and this course is no different. The learning curve I went though was HUGE and it felt really hard sometimes. My limiting beliefs around sales and money and confrontation have been shattered and I'm so grateful for the person I've become because of this course.
When I finally got certified, I was so excited to use the companies resources (job board and customer support) to get a new job and I was employed with an excellent company with incredible earning potential within three weeks (I'm only three weeks into the new role now and while it's been another huge learning curve, it's opening up so many new possibilities for me and I am already earning waaaay more than my teaching job and I've only just begun).
What I loved most about all of this though was the support, the friends I've made, Lara's live trainings (she's soooo knowledgable and incredibly generous with her time - even supporting me post employment when I was feeling overwhelmed with the challenges of a new job) and the new person I've become in the process and am continuing to become.
At present, my life is centred around my new position which is great. That said, I choose my hours and have independence in my role, no one is hand holding me anymore as I am a contract worker with freedom and can take time off when I want and travel and still work should I choose to. It most definitely hasn't been easy but it most definitely was worth every second.
I am still in touch with Lara as she continues to support me and I have made many friends from the training that I am still in touch with too. We meet and chat online and have been supporting one another this whole time. It's been so great to see the skills we developed in the program open more lucrative doors for us all, allowing us to start new careers later in life and leave our underpaid ones behind while creating massive potential for growth and development. What a blessing!
Thank you to Lara and the Empath School for all you've offered and taught me! I'm eternally grateful.

I joined the Empath Closing School in a critical moment of my life. I was exhausted, underpaid and struggling to make ends meet as a single mum with a 2-year-old. I was close to burnout. Then, I saw the ad for the ECS and decided to give it a try. The closer did an excellent job, and made me realize that my life could change if I was willing to put the work in. They don't sell you a magic solution to get money quickly: you're going to learn to be a closer in the high-ticket sales industry, in a super effective way that has been proven to work (spoiler: it does!).
I decided to join on the 5th of December 2024, and 6 months later, my life has immensly changed.
The course is amazingly done, intuitive and complete. You can go at your own pace, which is great when you have a really full schedule like I used to.
The first thing Lara teaches you is to reframe your mindset and work on your habits. This is the base of absolutely everything and it has been a game changer for me. It was very, very uncomfortable but it was worth it when I see where I am today.
You will also have A LOT of practice, in a very supportive and positive community, through the role play sessions. This is where you apply the theoretical knowledge with the other students, and it's a great adventure.
Lara also provides you with 2-weekly calls where you have the opportunity to ask your questions directly to her, which is great. She's always been available for me when I needed to.
After being certified, you have a whole module that helps you to get ready for the real world and show you how it works in the high-ticket sales' world.
I can't stress out enough how supportive the recruitment team and Lara have been, constantly helping me refine my skills. They will always help you and answer quickly.
Today, I'm working as a closer and an appointment setter (my own choice) and I feel a completely different person. It was hard, demanding and challenging, but what isn't in life when you truly want something to change? If you're looking for a new way of earning a living from home and are ready to change for real, then the Empath Closing School will get you there.

Needed to turn my life around …
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.

Becoming a Empathic Conversational Closer- A life changing experience with The Empath Closing School
In October 2024, I commenced my training with The Empath Closing School in the The Empathic Conversational Closing Method. The life changing experience I have had has been instrumental in allowing me to see that I have more potential and can continue to enhance my personal development and move forward. This will allow me to find a more rewarding occupation as a Closer where I will have the opportunity to help others whilst investing in a better future for myself and my family. The trainers / mentors and community are great and there is support 24 / 7. The community itself is full of positivity and encouragement, setting an environment where once you put the work in, you will succeed!. Training material is presented in many formats (videos with detailed notes, live presentations weekly, daily discussions in the community forum etc.) in bite-size pieces allowing you to review, study and absorb at your own pace. I personally felt that once I started the program, i could not stop moving forward with the training, digging deeper and wanting to do my best to enhance my skills and knowledge but also to support my fellow colleagues. There is something special about The Empath Closing School which makes you feel part of a family, full of like-minded people who want to have a life changing experience and create new opportunities. By putting in the recommended time and follow up on actions, I was able to get certified in 3 months and I very much looking forward to continuing my journey ahead and remaining part of this community. I highly recommend this training!

When I enrolled in The Empath Closing School, I had spent over 3 years trying to make a sustainable life for myself as an entrepreneur living abroad. This doesn’t account for the time I took writing a book and working with an editor to get it published. The idea was to combine my love of writing with my love of mentoring people, write a book and launch my coaching career. All the while teaching English online which was a career I had known would never be one that could sustain me. I had been a guest speaker on about 15 substantial podcasts, worked with a business coach and then worked with a mindset coach. Don’t get me wrong, I have no regrets having worked with those other individuals and organizations. I have grown each step of the way. And perhaps without those experiences would not have signed up for this program. But from the moment I saw Lara Mcilwraith’s video on social media I was drawn into what she had to say. I encountered her video shortly after spending over 2 months of caring for my elderly mother who had fallen quite ill. I was reevaluating my life and wanting to make a change in the way I had been addressing the following of people I had managed to grow online. Because of this program, I came to realize that I wasn’t asking the right questions or simply taking the right approach with people and I realized I would need one more thing to push me over the edge.
From the very first Live call I had with Lara, it was evident I had set my entire business up incorrectly. Within the first week of working with Lara I pivoted my business to a specific niche and immediately I had people reaching out to me. Some think I should have just took off and chase my own business again, this time with a better set of tools under my belt. But a funny thing happened. The more I worked with the Empath Closing School, the more I wanted to learn. I loved the community and I found myself inspired to work on my communication skills. I decided to dedicate my time to certifying and put my business on the back burner. I was beginning to see this opportunity as a win/win situation and that’s what it has been.
I recently certified and was going to wait until I started earning because of these skills to submit a testimonial. But honestly, I have no doubt that I will start earning soon and I’ve already got people signing up for an online event I will be hosting a month from now. My experience with the Empath Closing School and specifically with the leadership of Lara has been a win/win and so much more. I will be submitting a video testimonial in the near future when I am in my new and fully sustainable life and helping others to achieve the same!

I was at a career crossroads having been a Dispensing Optician for 30 years. I looked into teaching but I felt that I needed to change direction again. Working with Lara and doing the modules of the course has helped me gain an insight into what is available to earn money by being an Empathic Transformational Advisor. The modules are very easy to follow and I was able to work at my own pace. I enjoyed learning about the science of conversation and especially how to listen. The best thing was meeting so many people on Zoom during my training from all over the world and making friends. The ability to practice with these friends was essential to gain confidence in my abilities before looking for a position with a company. Lara was always available to give advice and guidance and went above and beyond to ensure that everyone succeeded.
I certified in six months, but lots of my peers certified more quickly. I worked with a couple of companies before finding the company that I am with now. I continue following the training to improve my results. I am now closing every other day and I enjoy transforming lives along the way.

The Empath closing school changed my…
The Empath closing school changed my life. I was able to learn a high value skill, get certified and get a job utilising that skill all within three months of joining the program. There are several elements to the training including self paced online training which includes videos with actionable items, I was able to utilise each new lesson as I went. The mindset training helped me to evolve and grow, I had never done any kind of personal development previously and it was a huge and welcome change. There are two weekly sessions of trainer led training which were so valuable to me, getting constructive feedback consistently that I was then able to utilise allowed me to certify quickly. The peer to peer sessions help you to get real world practice and refine your closing skills and through the community itself I have made many connections and friendships. After my certification I got a job working with the amazing Mind Movies team, where I have been closing consistently at a 25% close rate with ongoing support and mentoring from the empath closing school team. I would recommend to anyone who is looking to grow, learn a high value skill and earn a US income from anywhere in the world.
