Their training is a few weekends at best. This is not regulated and many states are scrambling to figure out what to do with this massive explosion of Life Coaching and Executive Coaching. This is not to say that some entertaining speakers are not out there to pump up business people but many of those actually have had businesses. If your average age of a coach is 29 years old....really.

In reading other posts on this site, I found one that summarized the experience that appears to be accurate and common from Lifespring. This is what ACCD does with a Christian twist. Communion, (loud) Christian songs and confessions. It was written on June 15, 2010 An LGAT experience can be summarized as following a three step pattern. 1) Psychological breakdown/opening up the subconsci

JD3 wrote back in 2011 that people were not being fair about these groups. These 4 day seminars that claim to change your life for the better and ever are businesses. They make a lot of money. Do they help some? Maybe. But do they do harm at times? Absolutely. If it is so great, then why all of the secrecy? Why all of the lawsuits? Church is free. Going to Temple is free. Ther

One doesn't have to be a genius to recognize the power of sleep deprivation. These sessions can go into the evening. Then they sometimes give homework that will keep you up even later. Who hasn't experienced that feeling of tired to the point that it takes away the ability to think clearly? Yes, be smart and recognize that this is a tool that is used very successfully. B

It's important to note that "Impact Trainings" is just one of the groups to avoid. There are many others that do the same thing. They continue to rename and rebrand but it's all the same crap. They are scams! They want your money and they know exactly the people to target. Follow up research is needed because many of us looking back now realize that we were taken adva

This is copied from another thread but gives important information.... Listing of LGATs and their founders new Posted by: Concerned Oz () Date: November 12, 2004 05:14AM The following is a list from the website below which may help in investigating the origins of particular groups. The writer links these groups to the Esalen Institute in Big Sur California. I am not endorsing the view

It's amazing. We are so aware today of scams on the internet along with telephone scams and we see stories everyday warning us of a new one and yet when it comes to these LGAT seminars, WE GO. God help us. The best we can do is warn others. If you go, know that you may look back and regret. Please do your research!

Thank you for giving this subject attention. You have provided helpful information. I can't understand why the State agencies don't try and regulate and why the medical board doesn't go after these people for practicing medicine without a license.

These 4 days of HELL are going stronger than ever before. The key for these companies is to change the name, add in the word Christian and hit up the churches for those that will fall for it. The big problem is, when someone is at a place in their life feeling hopeless, where do they turn? Church may not help, medicine may not help...what do they do? One thing I know for sure... don&

Life Coaching is big business. It's not regulated, so it's hard to track the amount of money exchanging hands. As they say... "There is nothing new under the Sun" Back in the day we called them GURUS. We gave power to them and that ruined many lives.
Forum: Abusive and Controlling Relationships

Can someone here speak about the new career in "Life Coaching"? I know it isn't regulated like other professions. Life coaches that are hooked into bigger self help programs are on the rise, yet I don't see much talk about the dangers. Looking for others who have experienced chaos in their family lives due to the incredible power they give to a Life Coach.

Does anyone have new info on the new and improved seminars run by ACCD?
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Face it, putting an end to these seminars won't happen in our lifetime. It's about money! All you can do is try to keep your family away and safe. Do your research!
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Is this the same as ACCD Momentus? "Live and let live" is one of my favorite sayings. However, emotional abuse gives birth to more emotional abuse...that's a problem. Four days of sleep deprivation and mind games is dangerous for some. Make no mistake...this is about money!

I just watched "The Secret". The ideas promoted in the secret are at odds with LGAT. There is so much negativity in those 4 day ACCD seminars that is can really do a number on your head. You've been warned!

Same results are being reported for those coming out of ACCD/Momentus/Breakthrough?

Does anyone have info on the 4 day seminars in California called ACCD? Breakthrough training.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

This is exactly what is going on with ACCD. Breakthrough sessions are dangerous. These groups all use the same methods and they have proven to be dangerous for some. Why is there so much secrecy?
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Is this similar to ACCD, Breakthrough training? The techniques and training sound familiar with a twist. These 4 day emotional seminars are nothing more than 4 days of me me me. Does anyone else have info on classes in So Cal?
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Does anyone out there have new info on the ACCD training? Although it's new and improved it continues to use the same techniques and emotional torment as did Momentus training. I would love to see comments from family members who have observed those that have graduated from the course. So far what I see isn't impressive. Seems to be completely contrary to the bible.
