Bill, who passed away in 2018, had been involved in personal development since the 1970s as a seeker, teacher, public speaker, author, musician, composer, therapist, workshop leader, and business owner. A student of ancient and modern research into the nature of the mind, he had studied and practiced a variety of traditional and modern transformational techniques and approaches with a variety of teachers.
A graduate of Portland State University, Bill had done three years of graduate study in music, studying with world-renowned Czech composer Tomas Svoboda and also with Spanish composer Salvador Brotons. He was a Certified Trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming and is also trained in Ericksonian Hypnosis. He was a long time student of contemporary psychology, quantum mechanical physics, the evolution of non-linear systems (chaos theory), and the effects of a wide range of neurotechnologies on human change, evolution and healing. He had participated in a wide range of ancient as well as contemporary methods of personal development and growth. He had been known for his ability to explain difficult subjects in a way that makes them easy to understand.
Bill was a private pilot, flying a Piper Malibu Mirage, and was CEO of Mercury Aviation, LLC. He had played saxophone, flute, clarinet, and piano professionally for over 30 years. He has two children: Brisa, born in 1984, and Evan, born in 1993.
Bill had been frequently invited to present at scientific forums and conferences across the U.S., and over the years had taught a wide range of workshops and seminars. He was president and Director of Centerpointe Research Institute and President of The New You Enterprises, Inc. Prior to that he had conducted his own private therapy practice utilizing cognitive therapies and Neuro Linguistic Programming.
After five years of personal experimentation and study, Bill started Centerpointe Research Institute in 1989 with borrowed recording equipment set up on his kitchen table. Since then, Centerpointe has grown to include many thousands of participants in nearly 60 countries on six continents. In his role as Director of Centerpointe Research Institute, Bill was the creator of The End Personal Growth Through Technology program.

Bernie Saunders is a longtime friend and colleague who has built a sterling reputation in the world of accelerated learning. He was instrumental in getting American Express Financial Services to commission Paul Scheele and Learning Strategies Corporation to develop PhotoReading back in 1985. But a few years ago he was feeling lousy. Rusted. Lost.
He took a long break from his consulting and training work. He played the piano, painted, and wandered through the gardens of his neighborhood. Hours looking at petals, stamens, and pistels. Bright colors, sweet nectar, unusual shapes. Tiny buds, full blooms, wilted crowns, dried stalks. The breakdown of his life forced him to stop and smell the roses, and in doing so discovered the paradise in his neighborhood that held one of the secrets for renewing and rejuvenating life.
He emerged a different Bernie. Pleasant. Focused. Energized. Calm. Happy. To the delight of his wife and children, and to the ultimate benefit of you.
And, as a lifelong educator and corporate trainer, Bernie brought to his clients what he uncovered in the gardens of his neighborhood. "Amazingly, clients began experiencing breakthroughs that not only got them more benefit from my class, but they said they began accomplishing more in their outside lives."
He stopped by our offices to talk with us. He told how his discovery stimulates a courageous conversation deep within. How automatically, without any effort, people begin to trust their instincts of imagination, discovery, magic, and wonder. How within days people stop spending too much of their lives reacting, overreacting, and rushing around.
We were enthralled, and immediately began working with Bernie on Boundless Renewal so that you, too, can experience more truth, beauty, freedom, and love in your life...and all the success it brings!

Marie Diamond's background is fascinating like how she began studying with spiritual masters when she was only seven years old and with Feng Shui grand masters in her teens. But what intrigues us the most is that she can literally see the energy flow.
Most Feng Shui "consultants" and "experts" are advanced students who repeat what their masters have told them. The expert might look at a spiky plant and say it can be harmful to your health, because that is what their master told them or because that is what they read in a book. Marie looks at the spiky plant and sees the energy shooting from the leaves.
She did not simply learn from books or other masters. She knows how the energy works, because she sees it. This ability makes what she says infinitely more credible and valuable.
We've always wanted to publish a Feng Shui program, and we've always consulted Spring Forest Qigong creator Chunyi Lin, whose insight into energy work we trust.
Marie Diamond is so skilled with Feng Shui that she can predict explosions
Marie Diamond works with many corporate clients. A European-based safety management company contracts with her to enhance plant safety for one of the world's largest oil companies.
Marie uses multiple levels of Feng Shui to significantly reduce on-the-job accidents. At one point she predicted the exact hour of an explosion in a major facility. No one was injured because of her advanced warning.
