Biased and bigoted
I was intrigued by this company because the principal, Troy Yorke, claims to have been a Senior Faculty member at Coaches Training Institute, an organization I hold in high regard. I was interested to see how Troy has expanded on his CTI training into his own brand, "Emergent Essence Dynamics."
I watched several of the free videos on the website and was, quite frankly, appalled by his intolerant attitude. He seems to be saying that anybody who reveals any weakness is being manipulative and needs to be called out. So if you are feeling any form of guilt or shame about yourself, do not expect any sympathy or empathy from Troy. He also seems to support toxic masculinity by denying that men have a feminine aspect. Many of his videos are recordings of live training sessions and it was interesting to see his interactions with attendees. Generally, he was dismissive of any questions that seemed at odds with his own message and he came across as arrogant and unwilling to entertain different points of view.
He does seem to have some interesting ideas, but he presents them with such certainty that his way is the only right way, and anyone who offers a different opinion is completely wrong. I find this attitude antithetical to what I learned from CTI, whose motto is "Nobody gets to be wrong."
