I just read a review here on Trustpilot about an angry email the client received from the owner of Commit Action Peter. I have to say I’m not surprised. On Instagram I wrote a two line simple comment that I had a better experience with the coach company Strawberry than this company Commit Action and he responded with an angry post claiming that I was a “paid stooge.” I legitimately had a far better experience with two different Strawberry coaches I worked with, and they both were older, more experienced and had ICF coaching certifications. Both of the two coaches I worked with at Commit Action had neither coaching certifications, did not ask insightful questions and were inconsistent on follow through. I was shocked to see the owner Peter claimed my honest review on instagram was fake just because he didn’t like the content of my review. I worked with Commit Action for many months in 2024. I’ve also filled out the form you requested. This was my experience.

Expectations vs. Reality: As an individual with high hopes for the Commit to Action program, I ended up feeling somewhat disheartened. I anticipated a program that would be highly personal and motivating, but my experience did not align with these expectations. Impersonal Communication: One of the main issues I encountered was the impersonal nature of the communication. The program relies on phone calls with a coach whom you've never met in person. The absence of visual interaction, as offered by platforms like Zoom or FaceTime, made the experience feel detached and less engaging for me. Lack of Motivation: Motivation was a crucial aspect I was looking to gain from the program. Despite the professionalism and kindness of my coach, the program failed to ignite the level of motivation I was seeking. Interestingly, I discovered that I felt more inspired by freely available YouTube videos and podcasts, which provided me with greater motivation and were more effective for my needs. Questioning the Value: I also came to the realization that the goals I set with the program were similar to what I could have achieved through casual conversations with friends. This led me to question the overall value of paying for such a service, especially when I could set similar goals on my own every week. Concluding Thoughts: While 'Commit to Action' may be beneficial for some, it did not meet my personal needs and expectations. The lack of personal interaction was somewhat disappointing, but this paled in comparison to the realization that their system was not working for me. Discovering that I could achieve similar results on my own made the financial investment in the program feel unjustifiable. Ultimately, I felt like I had wasted my money. However, the most significant revelation from my experience with this accountability course is the understanding that I am capable of self-managing my tasks, not just adequately, but even better than I initially thought. This realization emerged from the unexpected motivation following the sense of having spent money without visible benefits. The notion of potentially needing further investment if I couldn't independently manage my tasks became a key motivator. Additionally, the thought of saving money by not using an accountability service and redirecting it towards more effective resources has been a strong incentive. This sense of regret over the financial expenditure has evolved into a powerful driving force, prompting me to carefully plan my week and consistently track my progress towards my goals. Interestingly, this newfound self-reliance and enhanced productivity, though not a direct aim of the course, have been the most impactful outcomes, helping me to accomplish more.

I had a few frustrations with the Commit Action process, and I'll detail them here for other's consideration. The amount of contact with my Coach was not a thing that worked well for me. For the most part, it felt like I was getting "generic" feeling emails and mostly not getting contacted during the week. Then we'd have our 20 minute weekly phone call. This didn't give me a sense of alignment with my coach, or that they understood me. And it didn't help me organize my thoughts on how to go about best using this service. Ultimately this is why I decided to cancel. My second frustration happened at this point, since I made my decision at a two days past a renewal period. This means I'm now paying for a full month of a service I have decided is not worth the money. If someone were to ask me if this service is for them, I'd ask "do you already have clarity on what you want to work on?" and "Are you comfortable driving mostly solo on this journey?". And I'd caution "watch out for the renewal dates, because this service is hardline with the billing dates."
