Presented by Eric Garland, President of Competitive Futures, Inc.

How Businesses Can Anticipate and Profit from What's Next.

"Think out of the box! We need to be creative!" How many times have you heard this? People expect it constantly. Eric Garland — futurist, author and strategic advisor to corporate and government leaders around the world — will show you how to go beyond these platitudes into creative thinking. Drawing from examples like Apple's iPod and Nokia's move from rubber boots to cell phones, Eric will show you how to use the methodology of futures research — the analysis of social and technological trends five to twenty years into the future — to get new ideas for your business or government agency.

Eric Garland has a passion for helping leaders anticipate and profit from what's next. As a professional futurist and expert in competitive intelligence, he has unparalleled expertise in understanding the trends affecting some of the world's biggest industries. Garland studies the future for a global clientele on subjects such as information technology, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, agriculture, packaging, food, and consumer lifestyles.

RSVP requested to Michelle James.

PHOTOREADING SEMINARS — 2008

Paul Scheele is teaching public PhotoReading seminars in U.S. cities this year. PhotoReading is an excellent method of getting through information up to 18 times faster than conventional studying. This course comes with a money-back guarantee. Tuition is $750. Discounts available for PhotoReading self-study course buyers and early-bird registrations. Payment plan also available. Class locations and dates:

  • May 9-11, 2008 — Los Angeles
  • May 16-18, 2008 — Washington, DC
  • June 20-22, 2008 — New York, NY
  • August 1-3, 2008 — Dallas, TX
  • August 8-10, 2008 — Philadelphia

  • October 17-19, 2008 — Boston, MA
  • November 7-9, 2008 — Los Angeles
  • November 14-16, 2008 — Denver, CO

While a few people think PhotoReading is expensive, here's why our seminar graduates consider it a bargain:

Tens of thousands find PhotoReading invaluable for quickly getting through information. All over the world, people send family members and entire companies.

  • PhotoReading is more than a reading improvement course.
    More than just techniques to speed up, more than a speed reading course, PhotoReading addresses the big picture of re-learning how to learn. You will change your approach to reading and learning so it is easy, fun, and useful.

    Discover what prevents your success. See what beliefs about learning slow you down. Is reading boring for you? Do you get tired after reading a few pages? Did you receive too many negatives as a child? Do you have difficulties concentrating?

    In our seminar you begin to heal the "wounded learner" within and discover strategies to make reading and learning exciting. You'll actually want to read, instead of putting it off.

  • Class sizes are small.
    You get one-on-one attention from a masterful instructor. Unlike other classes that allow hundreds of people, there will be fewer than 33 in your class. It is a luxury you must experience.

  • Ongoing coaching at no cost
    Call your personal success coach after the seminar if you ever need help getting the most from PhotoReading.

  • Retakes at a minimal cost
    You can retake PhotoReading for a nominal fee, as often as you wish. You will build on your skills and take them to the next level. Why settle for getting through information three times faster when you can get through it 18 times faster! All it takes is mastery.

  • Money-back Satisfaction Guarantee
    Turn reading from a chore to a pastime. Learn PhotoReading in the upcoming seminar and use your "whole mind" to read with speed, comprehension, and enjoyment.
