Jamie Kirkegaard, Arizona State, organized a two-part professional event called Creating Your Vision. At the first event Jamie encouraged brothers to create vision board to help them visualize what their aspirations and goals are to help make them a reality. For the second part, brothers were encouraged to bring their vision board to Schwan's presentation where she helped them complete the boards. According to VPCO Erica Kenney, "It was very interesting listening to Christine as she has experienced great success with creating her vision and helping others uncover theirs to build their reality."

Kenney added a few of the key takeaways from the presentation were the ideas that thought has energy and frequency and there is a universal energy that makes things happen. She also stated that it is important to decide what you want and visualize that you already have it. For example, she said rather than stating, "I want to be healthy," say "I am enjoying a healthy life." She says, "It is crucial to put power behind the feeling and emotion that runs through you when you state what you want."
