Biography
Patricia's presentations are intellectually stimulating and filled with her passion for knowledge of the extraordinary kind. Her keynote speech topics range from cutting-edge alternative energy science, to maximizing employee contributions by investing in them as a valued "brain trust", and the link between specific emotions and genius thinking. She is an advocate of Biomimicry, the science of tapping into Nature's million-year-old templates for innovative sustainable designs.
Her book, Roads to Freedom, self-published in 1992, discusses the potentials of solar and other alternative energies. Her latest book on how to tap into the genius powers of the brain is scheduled to be released in 2016.

Accomplishments
Invention of 3-Hour Rapid Typing Instruction Method
1990-04-30
Ms. Croghan's Seattle company, Computer Tutorial Services, specialized in one-on-one computer instruction. Patricia invented an imaginative typing game to teach the entire keyboard in just 3 hours. But since the brain needs time to store info as long-term memory, the class had to be extended to 1 hour of instruction for 3 days. The average exit typing speed for students after 5 hours of practice was between 30 - 40 words per minute.

Technical Representative re Wastewater Treatment
1982-02-01
While employed with Resources Conservation Company (RCC) in Kirkland, Washington, Ms. Croghan served as a Technical Representative to coal-fired utility companies with cleanup of their industrial wastewater. RCC, in partnership with other companies, designed and built one million gallons/day industrial wastewater cleanup units.
Co-Inventor of the First Laser Wire Insulation Vaporizer
1984-07-01
While working at Boeing Electronics Company, I was co-inventor of a machine that vaporized the insulation off wire prior to soldering wires together. The concept and overall design were mine, and the laser technology was contracted out. I designed the mechanical apparatus that presented the wire products to the laser beam, and wrote the software enabling the laser Operator to specify wire gauge and laser power levels. This laser machine is now a bench model found in machine shops worldwide.
"The Science of Personal Change" (Radio Show, KLAY Tacoma, Washington)
2008-10-01
Aired to Seattle audiences in 2008, this radio show was based on Patricia's experiences as a hynotherapist and counselor. Drawing from her actual case histories and scientific breakthroughs in the science of the brain, the radio show offered solid methods for people to make positive life changes
Education
University of California, Los Angeles
One of two female participants selected to participate in a pilot electrical engineering apprenticeship program for women, I was drafted out of college to begin my apprenticeship at Litton Data Systems in Van Nuys, CA
Biochemistry
Electrical engineering apprenticeship sponsored by the Women in Engineering and Technology Act, California State University, and the National Science Foundation. I have enjoyed an exciting R&D engineering career that has spanned across electrical, electronic, mechanical, chemical, manufacturing and environmental applications.
I have also received education in law as a certified paralegal, in mental health as a certified hypnotherapist, and as a television and video producer.

My life has totally changed with the help of Patricia’s video entitled, "Re-Invent You!"
Let go of the old me. How does one do that? One of the visions that I came away with from the video was, my old life and my new one were two separate rooms. I am at the door peering into a new life but, I was still standing in the “old me” room. Patricia's video helped me step into my “new room”. EVERYONE in my life has seen a different me! I have found something that I have searched for my entire life: happiness and true love. When one’s life is transformed to a place where the world is new again and the future is bright, how can you not be excited about it? No matter where you are in your life, "Re-Invent You!" will make a difference."
Sample Talks
Corporate Ethics: The Heart and Soul of Sustainability
If corporations have all the privileges of an individual, they will eventually be judged before the law on their moral character. Certain knowledge or data that infers power, carries with it certain responsibility not to misuse it, for then all Life suffers. Corporations that seek to sustain the winds of change must see themselves as a part of the whole. Scrutiny of the global effect of their policies and practices is critical - history shows that tyranny is not a sustainable business model.
Corporate Vision Quest - Humanity's "To Do" List for the Next Century
It is the awesome privilege of corporations to create global change. When a corporation fuses together in an ignited vision to improve quality of Life through its product or service, the opportunity manifests for a quantum leap of consciousness that sparks human evolution. It is in the self-examination of how corporations have harmed humanity that business opportunities become visible. Corporations that can "sniff the wind" and SERVE humanity rather than deplete it, will reap huge profits.
Exquisite Solutions From Nature's Earth Lab
Exquisite solutions are available now to every problem or challenge your company faces, whether it is in product design, chemistry, software, materials and logistics, or corporate strategy. Innovative solutions, tested in Nature's labs for millions of years are waiting for discovery. Although Nature offers her genius sustainable solutions for FREE, the doors of mystery are not forced open upon command. Through the refinement of purpose, the right questions are asked and the doors swing open!
Accessing Higher Brain Centers for Futuristic Concepts and Ingenious Design Solutions
Everyone is capable of genius thought, but few understand the brain's language. Creative brain centers turn "ON" effortlessly, but only when specific conditions are met. Targeted use of the brain as a cosmic transmitter/receiver renders solutions within hours or days for engineering and mnfg. problems, research dilemmas, futuristic designs, and visionary business plans. Work environments that stimulate the higher brain centers are crucial to companies whose success depends on timely innovation.
INVESTING IN YOUR CORPORATE BRAIN TRUST: QUANTUM BRAIN LAB
Designed initially for researchers, engineers, geneticists and designers of any type, it turned out that a visit to the quantum field is rewarding for nearly everyone, and no one comes back from the journey empty-handed.
It is well-documented that some of the world’s most important discoveries and inventions have come from trance or dream states. Discoveries like the structure of DNA, the benzene molecule, the Periodic Table, Einstein’s theory of relativity, and Tesla's incredible inventions, have been openly admitted by their inventors to have come full blown in completeness, from trance or dream states. Even the famous Jack Nicklaus' golf swing came from a dream. Paul McCartney first heard the song, “Yesterday” in a dream.
Quantum Brain Lab techniques teach participants how to utilize their brain to harvest unlimited original ideas for futuristic designs, comprehension of functions or mechanisms, visionary business plans and strategies. After training, detrimental results can be a source of employee curiosity and excitement rather than a blockage or obstruction. Effective for troubleshooting research experiments, software, hardware and equipment design problems.
