Our Mission:
Since 1990 we have been providing corporate sponsored educational events for professional hard working people. We introduced the first mainstream corporate sponsored accredited educational events in Professional Speaking, Law, Health, Science, Sports, Real Estate, Entertainment, and Professional Speaking! Our mission is to provide corporate-funded educational events that enhance the professional and personal lives of both our attendees and our corporate benefactors. Whether we are providing the best cross-examination seminar in the world for lawyers, an event on Estate Planning/Asset Protection for the high net worth public, or a seminar on a critical Health related subject, the results will always be outstanding!
To the caterpillar it's the end of the world, to the master it's a butterfly.
~Richard Bach
Come to the edge, He said. They said, We are afraid. Come to the edge, He said. They came. He pushed them...and they flew.
~Guillaume Apollinaire
I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.
~Kurt Vonnegut
The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not the thinker. The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter — beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace — arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.
~Eckhart Tolle

Law Professionals
State Bar Associations
in most States don't mind that an attorney advertises. It's the way some law
firms advertise. The federal law giving attorneys the ability to advertise
passed in Tucson, Arizona in 1977. Immediately, Personal Injury, Bankruptcy,
Criminal and Family Law Firms invaded the yellow pages. At that time it was
one of the only ways to reach blue-collar workers without legal representation.
A full page, black & white ad in the yellow pages in 1984 was $20,000. Today
it is $96,000. A very expensive lottery ticket! The back cover of the phone
book is so expensive they bid on it in most large metropolitan markets.
Websites are trying to be the new phone book. Getting online and searching
the millions of new options through the Internet is not only time
consuming, but impersonal as well. Television is out of the ball park in
cost, newspaper advertising is on the way out because of the Internet and
direct mail really doesn't work. Lawyers get very little, if any, direct
marketing knowledge in law school. With a million lawyers practicing law
today and thousands more coming out of law school yearly, the legal market
is shrinking fast. If you are an accomplished speaker and want to educate
the public, there is no better format today to market your law firm than
through a co-op of corporate underwriters. Sponsors supply the investment
for the event and the law firm supplies the education. It works. If your
law firm is currently producing educational seminars and paying for it,
you are leaving opportunity and a lot of revenue sitting in the middle of
someone else's table. The importance of an education regarding a families
financial protection is of the utmost urgency with today's scary economical
situation. This means opportunity for law firms and their
corporate partners alike.
Health Professionals
Health is a huge concern to
every American. Physicians that have traditional, conventional,
integrative, or holistic practices have a great opportunity
if they have the ability to professionally speak and educate.
Ideally, the relationship between physician and patient is
one of equals. Ideally, traditional physicians are drifting
toward a more holistic approach to healing and not just
"curing a symptom" for the patient. Ideally, health care physicians
of all disciplines are
more concerned about the whole patient's physical, emotional
and spiritual being. Other than the label, Doctor, the
public knows very little about what a physician actually
does and even less about prevention or healing themselves.
This leaves the patient in a perpetual state of fear when
they are already not feeling well in the first place.
Medical and Health Practices can continually flourish
with an ongoing corporate partnered educational program
for any segment of the public they wish to educate. The
business relationships a corporate partner could obtain
from underwriting these events and educating these attendees
would be fantastic. It would truly be a win, win-win
situation for everyone.
Science Professionals
Balance is the key to everything in life. Science without spirituality is lame. Spirituality without science is blind. I replaced the word, Religion with, Spirituality. I don't think Albert Einstein would have disagreed. He made his remark at a symposium back in 1941. Over the past 70 years it is becoming more evident that science and spirituality are becoming one organism. It's about time. Science professionals in quantum physics, consciousness, and proven scientific futurists have knowledge we should all possess to make our lives more meaningful.
We are excited about providing corporate sponsorship opportunities for educators like Dr. David R. Hawkins, (who passed away on September 19, 2012 at the age of 85.) He was a renowned physician, psychiatrist, and pioneer in the study of consciousness and spirituality. He wrote several outstanding books, such as Power vs. Force, Transcending Levels of Consciousness, and Eye of the Eye. His foresight, brilliance, and guidance will be greatly missed. Another person to pay attention to is Ray Kurzweil, author of The Age of Intelligent Machines,The Age of Spiritual Machines, and The Singularity is Near. An excellent educational source of consciousness comes from The Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona. Dr. Deepak Chopra, J. Kristnamurti, and Eckhart Tolle are leaders in consciousness through their teachings. The Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia, created by Out of Body pioneer Robert Monroe, is another organization researching and teaching ways for everyone to know more about themselves and their environment. We need to know for certain that we are not our bodies, but something much more spectacular and beautiful.
Sports and Entertainment Professionals
Sports and the Entertainment Arts have immense healing and learning properties. Educational opportunities in Sports, Music, Comedy, Drama, and the Fine Arts are incredibly important to the human being life process. We provide corporate sponsorship opportunities for great educator/speakers and talented athletes/artists within these disciplines.
Donon Regan
Mr. Regan began his award winning sales and marketing career in the most competitive law market in the country: Phoenix, Arizona. In 1977, the federal law was passed in Arizona allowing lawyers to advertise for the first time. Phoenix was the original hot bed of law firm marketing attempts. In 1984 Mr. Regan happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right product. Mr. Regan helped introduce a new form of yellow pages to the Arizona legal market. His total focus was helping lawyers solve their marketing problems. Aside from sales training responsibilities, Mr. Regan set national sales records in yellow page sales. He set several national direct sales records including the sale of the first two-page spread in the 110 year history of the yellow pages . Most sales records he set still stand today. In 1990 Mr. Regan recognized a marketing opportunity in the Professional Speaking Industry and Real Estate Sales Training arena. It was at that time he created the first out of industry corporate sponsorship program in real estate sales training. This was an enormous help to professional speakers like Tom Hopkins, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar and their attendees. In 1999, after 5 years of negotiating, Mr. Regan provided the first out of industry corporate partnership in continuing legal education through the Arizona State Bar. In 2004 he provided the first corporate partnership for professional health care providers at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. In 2006 Mr. Regan, with the help of Estate Planning Attorney Stan Byrd, produced the first corporate partnered estate planning event in the nation, to a packed house. The first event was so successful it was produced a second time with more great results. In 2014, he continues to work with great public speakers to produce innovative and pertinent educational events nationally in law, health, science, and entertainment. Mr. Regan attended the University of Tennessee where he studied Fine Arts and Psychology. A born artist, Mr. Regan has a painting in the Tennessee State Art Museum requested by Governor Ray Blanton. He accepted a position with Revlon, Inc out of college as a Colorshader for the Borghese line of cosmetics. Mr. Regan is based out of Glendale, Arizona.
