I was brought into the first weekend of Heartcore Leadership as part of another coaching program. At the end of that weekend, Shanda came on and told us that if we enrolled in the rest of the course, she would give us a "half VIP day." She stated directly, "I charge $35,000 to work with me, and I'm going to sit down with you and help you sort out your business if you sign up for the rest of it." Based on that statement, I invested several thousand dollars. When the time came, I discovered that the "half VIP day" was actually structured as a two-hour group session with approximately 20 participants. I received exactly nine minutes of her time. Nine minutes. The interaction felt rushed and dismissive. There was no meaningful strategic support, no real business sorting, and no follow-up afterward. When I raised concerns about the clear discrepancy between what was promised and what was delivered, there was no accountability and no attempt at repair. We have a serious problem right now, both in the coaching industry and in the world at large, with leaders who are unwilling to take accountability when there is a gap between marketing and reality. That was my experience here. This was not a small investment. The difference between the sales conversation and the actual experience was significant. read more

This company has scammed me out of 10s of thousands of dollars over the years. They make wild promises that they do not keep. They would promise to upload live content to their portals and months later, I was still emaling the company asking for what happened to the content because I wanted to refer back to it. They promised to promote me to their followers and at events and it never happened. When they closed one of their offshoot companies while I was in the middle of utilizing them for an event, it was hugely disruptive and I had to beg them to fulfill their promise. They gaslight you at every turn if you complain and while on the outside they make it seem like they care about you, they are really after your money. read more

I was looking for a way to help me overcome my financial blocks. Little did I know that this was going to help me see who I really was and how I was showing up in the world. This program has helped me break through my feelings of not being enough. It helped me learned to acknowledge myself for all that I am and to Love myself in my entirety. I've learned to see what stops me from doing things I say I want to do, but don't do. It also helped me to see aspects of myself that I had not wanted to admit to. Self-growth in ways I never saw for myself. read more

They are scams do not give them the $3800. They will not perform any leadership. Then they will give you the runaround for six months.

I only recently started the program, but the value I've received thus far from EVERYONE with whom I've interacted (coaches, customer service, administrators, and Shanda herself) has already been worth the price of admission!!! Hands down, the best customer service. Example: My coach, Cassandra Bourne, laid out step-by-step actions to help me navigate tech issues that have kept me from receiving income from what I do for horses and people for years! I know it sounds silly! But as brilliant as I am in my "art," it's always been overwhelming to deal with websites, landing pages, and such. Not anymore! And every communication ends with sincere belief in my abilities and confidence in who I am and my value to others, horses and the people who love them. And my coach, Zina Soloman, has given me ideas I had never thought of but that work!! And always providing guidance along with comments of unconditional support and belief in me! Being surrounded with such people helps me over the humps of challenges. I feel truly blessed! I've worked in television, in front and behind the camera, developed curriculum and high-end training programs for Disney, Coca Cola and other big client, so I've seen professional coaches and marketing people up close. I can honestly say that this is the most effective, professional, and short runway to success I've ever seen! And, from an ethical company and group!! I'm excited to continue and highly recommend taking advantage of this unique and amazing program!!! read more

Excited about completing my Summit but I was sad that I think I missed some transformation I should have had.

HCL has been an experience like non other I've had. It allowed me to really see the things in my life that are holding me back. It also helps you to work through past issues and trauma that no longer gets to control my life. read more

HCL changed my life in ways I did not expect. I arrived open but still guarded, and I left clearer, braver, and more honest with myself than I've ever been. The experience helped me see my patterns without shame, stay present in discomfort, and speak truth with clarity and care. I felt deeply seen and supported while taking full responsibility for my own growth. HCL did not fix me. It reminded me who I am beneath old stories and conditioning, and that clarity continues to shape how I lead, relate, and live. read more

I went in to HCL hopeless and finished full of joy and possibility. I am now leading my family with Love. I can recognize old habits and make new choices. I have found me again. Truly a life changing experience that I wish I had done when I was 20. read more

Verbally abusive! Shockingly unprofessional. She asks to comment on her IG post so you get some info. The info is so flimsy (you get 4 instead of the promised 7) throw away lines, instead of anything of substance. When you comment on how shockingly flimsy it is she wrote back in the most abusive way, defaming my character and telling me to 'get help'! amongst other verbal assaults. LOL! I guess she is projected reflecting back on her own less than stellar character and her abusive verbal assault on me. So glad my instincts told me not to buy her programs which has since been confirmed. read more

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Shanda and the amazing, supportive, and uplifting community she's built through HeartCore Business.

I completed the Master of Leadership program with Heartcore Business today. PhD program was the natural progression of my leadership training after completing the Heartcore Leadership entry level 4 months course, completing coaching the same course and then entering PhD. I was ready to focus on my vision for my life and start creating results immediately. With the support of amazing mentors and trainers, I was able to up level my leadership by playing in a new field of possibilities and developed the skills I needed to discover or enhance in practicality. I learned through this transformational leadership program to be truly myself, recognize and use my powers to step into my vision and start living it to have an impact on people in life and all around me. read more

Regarding HeartCore Leadership: Christians should be weary, as it is Christians as something that will bring them closer to God, but it is founded on worldly doctrines such as Taoism. There will be things that challenge your faith and put you in positions that may make you feel like you are compromising your faith or integrity, and that is not something most people will tell you about as they are under contract not to share details of the program. There is value in what they teach and what you can experience, but you have to spit out a lot of bones for the amount of meat. Some of the experiences and ideologies are ridiculous, and the cracks of hypocrisy can be found if you pay attention to what is being taught and how the trainers react when problems arise. That said, imperfect people are trying to help imperfect people and there is a lot of beauty in that. read more

Heart Core Leadership Training - HCL - is THE BEST money I've spent in my life and was the best transformative experience I've had in my life. It's like all the healing work and biz course work you've already taken rolled into a fast and fortunate process that lights all your other work on fire. If you're looking into all of the Heart Core programs, the WINNER is HCL and for that price - it is astounding what you get in the life-altering catharisis AND at the end you have a worldwide team! It's all about what you want. For the low stars on here with complaints about it being culty, consider the source. Most of those complaining feel defeated over the finances. The leadership training in HCL adds value to all aspects of your life and I recommend spending the money first on HCL and then hiring the Heart Core Business team to make your list building summits for you instead of taking MML. I've done them all and the very best value for your money is the 4 months of HCL. Can't say it enough. Wow, just wow. HCL has TOOLS! After taking them I now have a worldwide team, life long friends, and my relationships with myself, my child, my mother, my family and friends, and my finances shifted to next level and continue to grow. Super gratefu!l read more

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, my family and I faced immense challenges, especially after being displaced due to the flooding. Financially, the impact was devastating, and navigating the hardships that followed often felt overwhelming. During this difficult times, I stayed connected as much as possible and Cassandra took the initiative and reach out to me to provide support. Her kindness reminded me that even in the darkest moments, there's strength to be found in community and resilience. As I step into 2025, I am determined not to let these hardships define my future. I want to be the success story that proves perseverance and dedication can overcome any obstacle. This year, my focus is on rebuilding, thriving, and achieving financial stability--not as an excuse, but as a testimony to the strength and growth that challenges can inspire. Thanks again Cassandra and the team at HeartCore ! read more

I participated in heart core leadership and list power but this comment is connected with the leadership program. It was ground breaking for me, and I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. Im a Kelligg Northwestern MBA graduate, a former high powered executive and a gay father with 3 kids - this program gives you what you put in and more, If you aren't willing to see part of yourself you don't like - don't take this. It's for real lasting transformation. If you want to level up and put your life in a new highway of wealth and happiness - then take it! I've enrolled my daughter in it as well - because it is LIFE CHANGING AMAZING! Incredible value! read more

HCL was not love at first sight, almost let it go as felt have had enough heavy weight programs already. But this time I loved, though may not enjoyed every moment. So glad it broke down a few more of my nerds! Further anchored my way of being. Love Shanda's practical approach on this program! If you seriously want to see what you didn't see before, get another inch up, come join this program, you will not be disappointed! read more

When I joined heartcore it was a faith walk. I had no idea how much I needed to learn and be involved in a community of like minded people. The program is filled with the CONSTANT coaching on how to reach optimal success. I am proud that I joined Shandas coaching program. Her authentic care about seeing us successful is incredible and constant! SHANDA THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU GIVE YOU ARE TRULY ONE OF A KIND!!! read more

You want to make Grand changes and catapult your career, relationships and yourself in less than 6 months? THIS is the program!

I got to see exactly my limiting beliefs are (blind spots) and where they stop me. And I learned new tools to keep going. The Trainers, staff and coaches are all volunteers and they are amazing. They are full dedicated to your growth. If you are serious about making Giant changes in your life, and you're ready to make a Giant effort, this is the program for you. read more

Not for the weak or closed minded. With that said, and the willingness to open up enough to commit to the process, this program can take take even the weakest and close minded and transform them into leaders. Who knew how much a group of people could transform in only 4 months! I have been through dozens of online programs, masterminds, and courses, invested over $300,000 in my own education and personal development, and nothing comes close to Heartcore Leadership. If you are looking to level up in your life, business, health, finances, and/or relationships, this program is for you. Go in with an open mind, trust the process, stay through to the end, and you will come out the other side as a transformed leader! read more

Tried to cancel the class two weeks after I signed up and was told: "I am happy to share our refund policy, however you will find it is heartless and not Heartcore, because it is a legal contract". Their refund policy - or lack thereof - is insane. read more

In the last 6 months since becoming a part of this community, my life has shifted in ways that were once just vague wishes and dreams. The transformation I have personally received has been unparalleled. I am a graduate of the Heartcore Leadership Program and have found clarity, freedom, and results. Results that coaching with others just didn't help me get to... The results are truly from the heart. Thank you, Heartcore, for all that you are doing. Thank you, Shanda, Ash, Judith, Micheal, Lisa, Myrna, Missy, Ali, and all of the leadership and heartcore coaches and staff... ***You know them by their fruit, and the fruit here is plentiful and ripe. I am so grateful for HeartCore Business and all the incredible staff. read more

See all

I've been following Shanda's story for many years, but I've never actually done coaching with her until recently. I signed up for VIP coaching when she was doing her live daily coaching. She shared so much more than anyone else I've ever taken a free course from - very specific and detailed steps and tools, plus the framework to make it happen. At first, I was getting discouraged because it didn't seem to be working but then I stuck with it, and was consistent and finished the goal and hit my result! I took 2 different ideas and applied them and one of them made me $12,0000 in 10 days and the other one made me $29,000 in one day. I didn't have a big list & I didn't have to create new offers. I signed up for her Mentor Me Live so I can continue with the coaching. Thank you, Shanda & team! read more

I love HeartCore Business! I have been in Mentor Me Live and the Club for 6 months and they are more committed to my success than I am sometimes. The whole team does an incredible job at seeing you in your highest potential and will 100% help you reach it. I would have already failed at my new business without their guidance. I have also graduated from HeartCore Leadership, which was an incredible 4 months of my life that opened up so many possibilities in my life and business and couldn't even begin to unpack what this program did for my marriage, my relationship with my kids, and most importantly my relationship with myself. Everyone should take this program. read more

I have started working with Ash from Heartcore and have learned so much about how to sell, and communicate with potential clients. He is empowering inspiring and a great sales master. read more

Shanda is no joke. She is genuinely there to help her clients get results. She has more energy and commitment than I've seen in other people. She isn't "Get rich quick", she's "get rich if you stop making excuses and do the work!" Her system takes time and commitment but it gets results. She is worth the time and investment. read more

I was part of Mentor Me Live at $595 every two weeks and they didn't provide the coaching they said they would 4 out of thee first 5 months of my contract. The coaching was also totally different to what was promoted and my whole group of 8 left. I was also recommended to join Heartcore Leadership (HCL) and this just turned out to be a cult with brainwashing techniques! They tell you (after you've joined) that if you don't 'enrol' friends/family into the program you don't get to graduate. Your training time includes being in a zoom breakout room for up to 6 hours forced to email or call your famiky/friend to enrol. You're unable to leave the room otherwise you leave the program. The course training/coaching time is mostly focused on you getting others in the program at the expense of your own project that you sign up to do and only focuses on those people with 'wins'. HCL seems to be an incarnation of Lifespring which was shut down. Also runs under live4you. All same training tactics. I can say they are great on the front end, selling and appear genuine. The back end leaves much to be desired, with many people out of pocket with no progress in their business or leadership. Your money (and mental health) is not worth it, AVOID! read more

I invested in the Leadership Training and the MML program 3 years ago. I am so grateful I did. All of my dreams have come true including becoming a TEDx Speaker, finding my now husband and having our son. I am now coaching over 30 clients a month, hosting live events, and feel tremendous reward as I now live a life of service. I didn't commit to my goals the way I do now, or have the framework to push so hard out of my comfort zone before this training and these programs. Shanda, Ash, Lisa, Lynne, Judith and Michael are world class trainers. I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking for your next best level, or coach! read more

HeartCore Business - I launched my TV show thanks to my training and have been smiling eversince!!!! Do what you love but money loves speed!!! - Business Consulting Near Me - Solana Beach, California

In my opinion, The Heartcore leadership program has many cult practices; enrollment, jargon, sleep deprivation, embarrassing/shame-based (forced participation) activities, vows, personal secrets, yelling, screaming, & woefully lack of quality. Keep in mind EVERYTHING IS BEING RECORDED. It totally missed leadership value unless you believe cult leadership is beneficial. They eliminate people from the program without integrity. Heartcore practices fraudulent charges and does not respond to emails about that. Shanda is darling & brilliant, but deceptive. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. If you want to know how to get them to respond, 1. contact your credit card company and report them! 2. Bombard their server with hundreds of emails every day by changing the subject line for each email to each person at the company. My credit card company sided with me & refunded the fraudulent charges and refunded the cost of the leadership program with my proof of cult statements from participants. read more

I think HeartCore Leadership can be a lot of things in hindsight. When I heard about Leadership from a trusted coach, I jumped on the offer quick. The specific (money) offer was only good for a short time. There were a few red flags for me upon signing up. First it was the 12 hour days and then it was the rules. 12 hours days just aren't for me and I knew that. It doesn't always mean that I'm stuck in a belief system if I know I wouldn't enjoy that length of a day. I also saw the rules and they reminded me of when I was a child. I understood, to a degree, some of the rules in order to keep order, but some of it really reeked of lack of bodily autonomy. But, because I was deeply in a belief that I needed to get my business going and maybe this will fix things, I said oh well. Oh well, to the things that feel repugnant to me. The first day of Vision comes and I almost quit before that day was up. It wasn't just 12 hours, but a few hours of homework after that. It kind of reminds me of torture - sleep deprivation. The coaches - most weren't very seasoned. All that was required of a person being a coach in HCL is they have to enroll someone into the program and graduate. On the first day, there were glaring red flags - yelling, name calling, making fun of people, people tattling on each other for breaking the rules, getting yelled at for breaking the rules, shame-based exercises and experiences. Disagreeing would get someone either kicked out or spoken to as if they will be kicked out. There was also a ton of jargon that we used. Overall, in hindsight, it felt very culty. Not wanting to wake up at 6am for a team meeting was me not being a team player. The thing is, yes, all these instances, I can absolutely learn from and I have. But, the biggest thing I learned is, that I don't need to be in spaces or containers where people are being taught to be abusive in the name of personal growth. I even became more harsh when coaching people, super into the breakthroughs, and the wins. During this time, I was super committed to the program and I became a different person, but not exactly in a good way. There is a deeper way to grow and that is actually love. Love can be tough at times, but if all the coaching is is "tough love", it's just continual repetition of bad habits. There were a lot of manipulating marketing tactics to get people to sign up. Enrollment was also, in my opinion, a manipulating tactic. The steps that I was given felt so disingenuous when I tried to enroll people. It felt so repulsive so I just stopped. The thing is - not everything is a belief system. Sometimes feeling repulsed by something is God/the light inside you telling you that what you are doing isn't what's best for you. Sometimes calling a spade a spade is good. I'm sure other people experience completely different things in this container. Once I graduated, I was 'convinced' to sign up for a year program and I readily did. After two days of not being involved in anything HCL, I felt so much better and knew that doing another year of leadership was not going to be for me. I was able to get a refund. I remember an experience where I was really dissociated from being overstimulated and people talking at me. It was asinine because if I knew what was good for myself in that moment, I would have excused myself and taken time for myself. These coaches don't know how to guide people out of shutdown so talking at me did absolutely nothing. Plus I was told that since I'm aware that I shutdown, that I must be doing it on purpose. In my experience, to truly heal large amounts of dissociation, you need to be in a safe space to breath and allow the walls to come down. Accusing someone of purposefully shutting down is insane coaching. Another one of those, it's just a belief system. And yes, in the grand scheme of things it is. There's almost always a thought, belief, or emotion that creates everything in someone's reality and it's almost always unconscious until you make it conscious. I also witnessed a trainer tell a person she can't take her prescribed medication if she is going to move forward with being in the container because of the 'rules'. I now know that being abusive to myself doesn't make me strong like I thought it did. I no longer want to be in situations where I have to choose to shrink myself, can't disagree without repercussions, can't renegotiate rules without repercussions, can't renegotiate deadlines, and see shame-based techniques being used on people. I don't need to abuse myself to grow and I don't need to abuse yourself to be tough. This experience was simply a repetition of my childhood, so I learned but also, I wouldn't do anything like this again. Plus there is a difference between belief systems and soul level intuition. Your intuition may be screaming to get away but HCL will tell you, you are just in belief systems. read more

I'm going through HeartCore Leadership Training. I just finished the first part which is called Vision. I had THEE biggest breakthrough in my entire life yet and Vision is only part 1 of 5 parts! If all I received was VISION, it was already worth every penny! Do yourself a favor and go for it! If you truly surrender and participate into the program, you will reap the benefit you came for! I will keep adding updates into this as I go through the program. 444 read more

I've kept quiet for too long. I went to your " free event " in Costa Mesa. You promised if you have a service based business and not an online business you would give a full refund if your system didn't work. I did the annoying interviews and had zero return on my investment of $13k with your program. I messaged your husband about it and he said you would never say that Don't waste your time or money on this program! It's stressful with very little or no return. It's great you act like you're a sweet honest Christian online too lol . Biggest waste of money I've ever spent. All I got was stress, anxiety and debt. Live and learn from my mistakes and do not waste your time and money! read more

This is a scam. These people run under the guise of helping you become responsible for your actions to do better at business. In fact the course has nothing to do with business. The leader use the other members to attack eachother. Calling "bullshit" how is that acceptable when the people your mentoring don't have the regulation to keep eachother accountable. Don't waste your money. read more
