It changed my life! Stick w the program to the end. The shortest time for the longest outcome! Everyone should be part of this program that will teach you to be the best of yourself to make the best decisions for yourself. I took beginner and advanced classes 2012 , Jerry was the best coach we had. Thanks to everyone who helped us to see us who we were , whom we don’t want to be and how to change in to the best way we can be! The best program in the shortest time !

Didn't help me or made any difference when I took it. Did not feel comfortable being forced to share my life problems to everyone, mainly individually. I stopped after taking the Forum. It made me feel worse mentally so i was happy and free when I finished the forum. It may be beneficial to some but not for me. Please be careful if someone asks you to join their graduation day of them finishing the forum. They'd say you could choose to sign up or don't sign up to go to the forum but they would end up pushing you the hardest to participate in the forum and you have to pay lots of money to participate. I regret taking the forum to be honest. Wasted 4 days of my life for what I thought was beneficial but it turned out to be misery blaming us for why we had bad experiences and being forced to forgive those who hurt us which most of the time I cannot tolerate forgiving them, I am not that type of person. Never taking any more classes again!

Unfortunately waste of money.
I was expecting the previous Forum leader Catharine aka Cathy as my cousin recommended to me but was DAVID that was not promoted as describe. Many people left disappointed was lot of languages barrier he is Australian top of that he lack of empathy talking down to people then uplift them finding their truth even the room was super hot I can’t even concentrate the forum I tried take break still the forum woman was like what are you doing I said to her that the conference room is super hot reminder it starts at 9am and ends at 10pm. I getting Claustrophobic and having a anxiety first day was terrible. I couldn’t stand people sharing stories then he compare his life with their out of context. They finally put late evening air portable but still was not enough people was standing at the air portable they are sweating and we can smell their armpits. The second day I noticed many did not return but I shared my story still did not get any feedback of my deeper issues and other David did give his input sometimes more negative then positive approach. I really felt was a jerry springer show people laughing when David talk down to people I had enough I talk the supervisor I said this forum was promoted the other lady not David there is a lot of language barrier, air conditioning was extremely poor, lack of empathy supervisor said well my first forum was Indian man I look at him well I been authentic telling my truth and you guys fake promoted was that woman should be here not him. Just I left felt disgusted no solution was offered to me.
If you that person like to be mistreated and be laugh at of your truth go ahead. Top of that Spanish translator also was terrible our Spanish people was correcting them what their client was actually is saying. This weekend is a disaster and lot of fakery.

Update to my previous posting: I eventually was able to get refunded for the program, but I will never get back the weekends I spent beating myself up over this program. Landmark successfully made me feel worse about myself than better.

Avoid participating in the forum. It's been 6 months since I've done the forum and advanced course and Landmark has yet to deliver on the promises they made. When I try to get in contact with someone to discuss my experience I can't get ahold of anyone. I am truly disappointed because someone close to me really wanted me to participate and now I feel that I wasted my time, energy, and money on this. Go to therapy, its cheaper.

The best thing I ever did. I love my life today and live it powerfully. Who I am as a son, teacher, friend — the love I have for people today I never saw possible. Thank you Landmark.

Okay, before ANYONE bashes me for my rating; here is a disclosure: I understand that the forum has indeed helped people, I do not believe that it is not beneficial to anyone spiritually, mentally, emotionally etc. Personal growth comes from many sources, and there are a number of ways to attain it. However, I strongly dislike the idea that landmark emphasizes recruiting people so often. Personal growth is supposed to be an individual thing, thus the word... "Personal". I understand apart of the journey is to share your growth and experience with your loved ones, I have known (personally) many people have come out of the forum desperately trying to recruit friends and family members. There is nothing wrong with merely suggesting your loved ones to do something you may think will benefit them in the long run. But Landmark really shoves this "enroll" thing down your throat. It is to my belief that this company just wants your money and nothing more. I did not get anything out of it personally, and I feel that if you really do want to see yourself start flourishing, that you go see a professional instead. As these folks at landmark are not mental health professionals. Progress takes years, especially personal progress. It just seems like landmark uses brainwashing tactics to make people believe they can change anything happening in their life over a weekend. Change does not happen within the span of a weekend. Again, this is just merely my opinion and I have known folks to come out of this seminar with a totally different perspective on life. Who HAVE changed for the better. I personally do not see any fulfillment in the program though. This is just some constructive criticism, not personal a bash to Landmark.

Staff is welcoming, attentive and helpful.

Participation in the Forum gives you access to anything you want for yourself or your life, a team of individuals who are committed to you achieving breakthroughs in the areas of life that are important to you and an enlivening experience of yourself that is refreshingly empowering and positively life altering.

And that's just if you do the forum! If you take advantage of the complimentary 10 session seminar you're so jazzed up you're giving Red Bull its wings. And don't get me started on the transformative evolution you'll experience if you complete The Curriculum.

If for some odd reason you do not have a great customer experience or if the Forum does not make a profound difference in your life, tell them and they will do something to rectify the situation.

Landmark changed my outlook and my life, for the better - it's that simple. Their programs are great across the board; starting with the legendary and impactful Landmark Forum. And you are always participating with a fascinating and open-minded group of people.
Such a smart, challenging place!
