<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Last
year The Regis Group developed and implemented
“<STRONG>Converting Your Career (CYC)
Course</STRONG>,” an innovative educational
program designed to answer an emerging need for
professionals who are at a point of significant
change in their business careers.
</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The
course addresses the steadily growing ranks of
50 plus year-old individuals faced with an
immediate necessity to leave their profession of
decades, potentially without a clear path
forward. Their circumstance could be
either involuntary thru a layoff/termination or
voluntary if they make a decision to retire.
</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">
<DIV><BR>The Regis Group, Inc. (TRG) believes
that now is the time for all of us to focus on a
turning U.S. economy and to take steps to
systematically assess, <SPAN
style="COLOR: inherit; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">then
plan out how to take advantage of our common
circumstance with a steady push into the next
round of business development.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR>TRG has designed the “CYC Course” to
help you utilize the vast amount of knowledge
and experience gained from your long business
career. CYC will help convert that knowledge and
experiences into a next round career as an
advisor/consultant, pointing to methods for
achieving financial rewards.</DIV>
<DIV><BR><SPAN
style="COLOR: #660000"><STRONG>The Purpose of
the Converting Your Career (CYC) Course
is:</STRONG></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> To assure a direct
path forward to those who are now or soon will
be impacted by a fundamental change in their
employment circumstance</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> To assure direct
access to a growing spectrum of participating
allied groups throughout our culture (by
example, within Healthcare, Pharmacy and Service
Clubs)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="COLOR: #660000"><STRONG>The
Primary Messages of the CYC Course
are:</STRONG></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> “Layoff” or
“Retirement” should NOT be the end of your
career… </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> “This should be the
start of the most rewarding period of your
life.”</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="COLOR: #660000"><STRONG>Key
Points of Focus:</STRONG></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> Your business
knowledge and experience correctly applied will
help you be successful as a consultant</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> You will be working
with what you already know and who you
know</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> You will learn to
work to a schedule and a plan that YOU will
create and will establish a new value to what
you have done to this point in your business
career</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> CYC will help you
to invest in yourself (your time, knowledge and
expertise)</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> This does NOT
require a large out-of-pocket expenditure</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> If you are good at
this, you will establish a support team that
will not cost you more than time</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>*</STRONG> You can earn as
much as you are willing to
work!</DIV></SPAN></DIV>
