Hello all. Do not get conned with this company. They are the biggest con. They claim to coach you all the way up to the life design course, they also talk about a lot about actions, but yet they don't follow through on them!! If you have also been conned by this company , I would like to hear from you. $6,000 for a 6 day course that will do nothing for you accept rob your money and steal your Fininical freedom. When you can get a course that is nationally rekonigised elsewhere. They don't answer their phones when you need them, they ain't supportive people. They are all about money. They also only talk when the money is there. Peter Conna the owner is a stalker once you stop paying money and then realise what they are actually trying to do , we will try chat you up through all social media. Please don't be conned. Nothing but a cult this company is!!! JUST SAY NO TO COMPANY read more

When I was referred by a friend for a personal success intensive workshop with EQ, I decided to jump on their website. What I saw was a commercial website, advertising different kinds of events. Not the kind of website you'd be expecting for a personal development workshop. Reviews on their website were good though so I thought I would give it a go. Forty nine bucks for 2 days, you can't go that wrong. But from my sixth sense, I could tell that it was probably not the right choice. I showed up on the day of the event. We were escorted bya a crowd of ladies all dressed the same way with tight blue tshirts and tight black jeans. The venue was not very inviting, an old brick theatre that smelled like dust inside. We were then asked to move into the amphi theatre. And that's where the show begins! The guests were sitting in the main seating area and the showman Peter Conna arrived on stage. First of all, for a personal development workshop, I would have expected a different seating structure such as a roundtable to allow better communications between everyone. Rather than THE guru on one side and the crowd on the other. Although at first, I thought his words were quite inspiring, I soon realised that it was actually pretty much basic wisdom talk out from the books. Peter made a show out of himself, putting a lot of humor in his speech, always trying to make the audience laugh about different things. Well I guess that's good if you're here for a comedy show but I had not come for that. He started making jokes on how certain people in the audience can potentially meet the love of their life in this type of workshop, and that it has happened in the past. This was not appropriate and it even made people feel uncomfortable. But one thing that I soon realised was that Peter has no listening skills at all. Pretty bad for someone who wants to become a councellor. He would interact with the audience, asking questions but barely giving enough time for people to respond. This created really bad vibes. One lady would try to talk but he would cut through the conversation, not listening to her. She decided to leave he was so rude. Another time, he would ask a question, and I tried to raise my hand to say something but I got totally ignored. He could hear me but did not even look at me. So I tried again, but completely ignored me again. Arrogance is the key word that comes out from his behaviour. Probably due to his expansive career experiences from real estate to financial planning, master of education, and now studying councelling. What can you expect from someone who has studied business, worked in real estate and financial planning? This workshop is truly a scam. Do you think you can really expect quality and ethical practices from a company that advertises its workshops valued at 2000 dollars on its website but provides discounts down to 49 dollars? That's just a way for them to get people to come so they can then sell their expensive 10 000 training. His goal: make people feel like S--- about their lives, and then play with people's emotions and get the most vulnerable one to buy the 10K full training. This makes me sick to know that such businesses can operate that way. My last words, I ended up leaving after 3 hours of workshop as I could not stand the speaker's arrogance and behaviour....and finally the icing on the cake... After 2 hours we were put into different groups (monkey, lion and pigs). The EQ team leader was a girl from NZ. Having lived there, i tried to approach her and start a conversation but she was rude and unfriendly. She would ask everyone to introduce themselves but I could tell from the way she was acting that she could not care less about the people in her team. She assigned someone from the guests to be a team leader. And that's where it all went crazy. We were expected to behave like monkeys, they started singing the monkey song, and at that point, I was like "what the H--- am I doing here?" We were asked to go back to the amphitheatre and dance on stage. They turned the lights off and put the disco music and lights on. I felt this was so unappropriate. I decided to leave. I advised a staff member who asked me to return my workshop booklet (a bunch of photocopies with exercises). I said I wanted to keep it but she insisted that I return it. I said that I had paid for that workshop and I wanted to keep it, but she would not let me go. She said that I had to give it back due to copyright issues. I was seriously mad at that point. I left the book with anger and walked away.I heard from my friend who stayed until the end of the workshop that Peter tried to sell his 10000 dollars workshop at the end. He acted wonderfully to get people to register by pretending that there were only 2 spaces left (the plan was totally devised to get the most vulnerable one to book - which apparently worked). So disgusting! I should have followed my instinct when I first checked out their website. read more

The program assisted me in breaking through my own limiting beliefs and gave me a plan of action to continually improve them. I believe this is crucial in order to go out and coach others. The program was well structured and gave us lots of opportunity to practice the skills we learnt, and I recommend this program to anyone who is wanting to make positive changes in their life. Thank you to everyone at eQ for helping me to believe in myself again! read more

WOW, that an event!! What an awesome, caring, devoted and loving eQ Team that has helped me change my life. I was at a point in my life without a job, my inner confidence was lingering at an all time low, I'd lost my direction and my head was just filling me up with doubt of any kind of Joyful future. My mum, sister and I went along to their awesome PSI (Personal Success Intense) 2 day weekend seminar and as we started I could feel the amazing sense of knowledge pouring into my heart, reactivating my senses. With this knowledge came a knowing of a better self, not only finding that inner fire inside, It was a new way of seeing things better than before, the understanding on relationship was major for me - it was in that weekend I let go of the self blame that I was holding for my devastating break up! We played some interactive games on life's reflection, (cos, isn't that what's outside the seminar room) that showed me where I needed/wanted to step up, take more ownership for my own life! I became aware of the Question! Who's running this life? Me!! I was proud of who I was again. I had never been to anything like this and to see now there are similar products out is great, people lives are changing for the better and are being cared for with love. I have to say now that I've come along way with this particular company eQ, exploring into my own belief systems being supported all the way, having had so much shift for me and to see how much growth my course mates and I are having and continuing to create. My past belief system that I was living with in almost every new adventure, every new thing I wanted to take on, with the belief of an event that happen 28 years ago was holding me back!! With eQ, their Personal Mastery Course and the amazing assistance of Peter, Niki and beautiful Jodie. I've now released that belief I was holding on to so strongly, has been let go. I feel free, able and the only way I describe it is that "I got my inner sparkle back!" I've looked into other courses and for me the fact that they keep the numbers of people down to a 20-25 cap for their mastery courses and just over 100 for the (nuts and bolts) Life Design course showed to me that they care intimately for each person. I was spoken to by name when they weren't on stage without a microphone, very approachable and willing to listen. I had some improtu advice and clearing done when they them selves are up on stage presenting all day for us, Here in Australia I found that eQ is unquie with 12mths coaching support, monthly catch ups and the friendship I now hold from those courses are hard to find walking down the street, they are like minded people that believe in your dreams with you and we are a community, a family. If you've looked into others course as well and not sure which way to swing, that's OK! I just know that having the genuine face to face conversations, smiles, actual active listening of the same beautiful people month in and month out with the love and support I feel and see in my new journey is what keeps me coming back to enjoy and support my new family, friends at eQ. I've been given the support to then want to help and encourage others, as I embark on my next course "Life Coaching" I feel proud to have come so far in 12mths and look forward to so much more! THANKS eQ, you've been there every step of the way! read more

I quite agree with Charlotte S - she was not yet ready to transform her life, those who are ready for change accept Peter's amazing qualities and perceptions about his audience and helps them all to make strides forward using their own initiative. Alas there are some who do not yet realise they have some inner strength on which to build themselves, so cannot impart anything of worth to others. I guess that defines worthlessness. Regarding Peter's skills of persuasion: if you are cynical you will doubt anybody's advice; if you are open to change you will discover why it is that if you keep on doing what you've always done you always get what you have always got. Peter has a wealth of experience to help you to understand your true self and set achievable long and short term goals. If you are not open to change then you will not change, there is no TRY. Apart from that I can only comment that since my April PSI I have ended a toxic relationship, found a true relationship with true synergy, am putting my seven year plan into action, have become an accredited Life Coach and am helping out at the upcoming PSI, Life Design and Coach training events slotting into that training for the 42km marathon on 22 September. Not bad for a 59 year old. For all you sceptics, great - stay sceptical but at least give self improvement a go. For the non sceptics I can say that I have attended all Tony Robbins courses twice, John Demartini, Chris Howard, Brian Klemmer and they have one thing in common - they are good at the time but offer no follow on support. eQ Events walk the talk, have monthly events in all states and do a telecast for those who can't attend, the events are educational, not just socialising. They donate all event donations to Make a Wish Foundation and yes, Peter has about 8 businesses: which one does he and Jodie put their whole effort into? Yes eQ Events! Peter is doing another degree. It is quoted that if you are not moving forwards you are moving backwards and that does not refer to technology - Peter uses flip-charts and textas and the charts are pinned systematically to the walls for all to see. Courses are interactive and help you to set and achieve step by step ALL your goals in ALL areas of your life. I am in a great relationship, will be financially free by 3pm Tuesday 31/12/2013, am advancing in all 6 areas of life, will complete the Sydney 42.2km marathon in less than 4 hrs 30 mins and am looking forward to meeting you at the next PSI event. I just hope the few negative people leave early and increase the energy and vitality for those who are committed to creating for themselves an absolutely awesome future and are completely 200% committed to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to reach their goals!

A visit to a stall being run by eQ Events at the Mind Body and Spirit Expo in Brisbane 7 years ago, has led me on a very rewarding, and sometimes very confronting journey. I was invited to participate in Personal Success Intensive (PSI) weekend. I followed my instincts and committed to the weekend. My purpose was to get new direction in my life as it wasn't doing too well where I was at the time. The presenter at the time was Pete Conna, who did an amazing job. One of things I remember him saying at the beginning was that he didn't have a 'Magic Wand' that he could wave over the audience and 'fix' everyone's problems. A bit disappointing, as I think that was what I was hoping to find. During the course of the weekend, what he DID provide were realistic strategies that when I (the I needs to be in bold and triple underlined), took action to implement these strategies, my life moved forward in the direction I was seeking. I approached the weekend with an open mind and knowing that what I had learned was practical and logical, I signed up for Life Design. I was on a very limited income at the time and it took me two years to get to Sydney for the program. During that time the wonderful team were in contact with me and helping me to keep on track to achieve my goals. I was invited to do PSI for a second time. the same program, yet a totally different experience. I had moved on in my life, so what I gained during the second weekend was what I needed at that time. Life Design was a huge eye opener for me and I learnt a lot about my Belief Systems and fears. I also had the pleasure in meeting and getting to know the rest of the Presenters. Niki Bowen, whom I've had the pleasure of seeing present in Brisbane has been a huge inspiration and given so much support and guidance through my journey, which keeps getting more exciting. I recently had one of my teenage children participate in PSI. He now changed his senior subjects and is on course to following HIS career dreams, which is awesome. My achievements over the past few years have been due to the actions I (once again in bold and triple underlined) have taken. The areas I haven't achieved are the areas I haven't taken the necessary action and commitment. This understanding and the strategies I use to achieve this, I have learnt through eQ Events. They just don't teach you this stuff at school, and if your parents haven't been taught, they cant teach it to you either. I shall continue my journey in life with constantly returning to the environment that promotes my excitement in achieving MY dreams. Thank you eQ. You ROCK!!! read more

One star is mandatory minimum. This is a business who makes a point of teaching the value of money - by charging as much as a mulinational holiday. They might still be pressuring their clients to withdraw an additional thousand bucks to donate within their main "course" - or else fail it for you and your team. They really think their clients are idiots. Another of their purported aims is to help people... but the MD flat out told me that he sees helping those most in need as a zero-sum game: even if they're paying through the nose for it. They teach self-love by treating you like garbage. Their reputed missions are fundamentally at odds with their practice, and the character of their founder. Complaints about are met with denial, silence and / or gaslighting - but don't expect them to ever stop harassing you for even more money, or for you to please volunteer free time to help their business! Please note that most of their (positive) reviews elsewhere are requested of those with a business or affiliate interest in them. An absolute joke. ... I posted this on Facebook over 1.5 years after the course, and received contact from 3 other complainants within several hours. read more

Well I found out about EQ in Adelaide and did the PSI, man how has my life changed since then, Since October last year I have tripled my income, moved to Sydney (never thought I would live here) started my own business coaching and am much more productive and happy. They have helped me sooo much, I cannot express how much gratitude I have to Jodie and Peter for believing in me even when I didn't believe in myself. Whenever I though nah I can't do that, Jodie was there to assist me in seeing a way that it could happen. Peter has a great sense of humour and talks the truth. I love the seminars and help out on a volunteer basis as I learn something every time I go back. While I am there Peter is available to ask questions which has been great, some really small things have made a massive difference in my life. Remember you need to stay committed!!!! No matter what happens, there is an opportunity to learn, its just what you do with that. read more

Every person has their own experience and their own outcome. I was one of those who thought that all they wanted is just money and bla bla bla. After PSI I took a good look at myself and noticed the reason I was the way I was (Negative) is because I am the reflection of my own environment. When I was at PSI I felt amazing, surrounded by amazing people and when one feels amazing, one can achieve great things. When I hung around people who are constantly negative and blaming others for their own failures, I too became the same. I bit the bullet and did Life Design. For me it was life changing and I am now that person I always truly believed I was. I have amazing new friends and contacts. My dream Job paying me a large amount and more keeps rolling in :-) Honestly if it wasn't amazing and the program didn't work then myself and thousands of others wouldn't volunteer.

I completed the two day seminar and the one week course "life design" and had some one on one mentoring with Peter Connor, both seminars were excellent value for money and have, together with my commitment to my progression have changed my life, and the way I view, tackle and approach situations in life and business. You can't put a price on that. Both Peter and Jodie are caring, transparent, authentic and committed to helping people achieve their dreams and goals, if you are going to do some "coaching" or personal development I would highly recommend EQ events. read more

I am so proud I attended the Life Design program as I can see my dreams within arm's length. Meeting people with the same notion of making changes in their lives is supportive and very pleasing. My connection with these great people will continue as I lead the Melbourne team members into meet-up. I look forward to my coaching sessions and my first participation in Success Club. I will embrace the knowledge I have learned. The time to make changes in my life is now. read more

I've attended programs with EQ Events and I cannot speak highly enough of them. One of the biggest things I learnt from their presenters is that I'm the only person responsible for my life, and that I need to stop blaming others. Since completing the programs, I have doubled my income to six figures, I have lost 23kgs, and I have started a wonderful relationship. Thank you so much Peter and Jodie!! read more

(Life Design) I didn't know what to expect, I came with an idea of the problem/ troubled areas in my life, also some beliefs that I was sure of. Life Design has helped me find myself, to love myself and that I'm never alone. My beliefs in money were redirected and I'm excited about starting my changes. Thank you for everything eQ. read more
