The image above was also used not too long ago, ironically enough, by the TouGas Oilfield Solutions Gmbh corporation-- https://www.tougas-oil.com/home.html -- The previous POV Canada splash page photo was also not an original-- http://psychologyofvision.blogspot.com/2017/11/who-are-these-people.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before Susan How's departure from Psychology of Vision in early 2017, she was in charge of the First Nations Fund, the Psychology of Vision Promotions, Inc., and probably the POV Canada Facebook since it vanished shortly after she left trainer status. I am going to make a guess that she was also the coordinator for the POV Canada website.
How was part of the Great Trainer Depletion of 2017, where half of POV's trainers hit the road. POV Canada lost at least four veteran trainers in that time. It seems Susan did attend the trainer's training in Hawaii during that fateful event, but I do not know her specific circumstances when it came to her sudden status as an ex-trainer.
According to the POV Canada webpage, Susan is still in charge of the First Nations Fund, but I suspect this is merely outdated information still hanging out there. When Lency Spezzano recently broke her word about never holding international workshops again after 2014, she attempted a campaign to increase the number of First Nations participants to pad the apparently under-registered event at Whistler, BC in 2018. Note how the First Nations Fund itself was not enough to assist those who wanted to attend. Whistler is a very expensive venue and the Spezzano's charged their usual high fees for attendees, so it is a small wonder they had room for more. Also, Babs Stevens appears to be the current FNF contact person:
Lency:
Our First Nations Fund has been fundraising for this event all year to do what we can to help with food and lodging for First Nations participants to be able to attend (special thanks to those who participated in Chuck’s Jams Shirt auctions around the world!). But our team has realized that we could get more First Nations people there who want to attend if we could come up with some sponsorships for a daily food and travel per diem. That way, many more of those within driving distance of the event could attend. Most of us have little idea of the challenges of every kind that First Nations unfairly face daily, and in PoV we value giving support not only to those who most deserve it, but to those who can, perhaps, be this planet’s salvation. If you feel called to contribute, I promise you the ripple effect of your generosity will help, and help, and continue to help.
Although donations of any size are greatly appreciated, an easy and meaningful way to support this important Psychology of Vision work would be to make a donation for either a one day food and travel per diem of $50 USD, or the gift of the entire week’s food and travel needs, which would be $250 USD. If you are lucky enough to be in a position to help out and feel called to contribute to this event, thanks you so very much! If you can identify yourself to me below, we can figure out how to get your contribution, in your own currency (If that’s most convenient) to the event. We will provide documentation for your taxes if that is a help.

For people wanting to wire money to the First Nation Fund, please email Babs Stevens at: babs@haidagwaii.netI If you want to avoid having to pay the wiring fee to send a $50 donation, I think we will arrange for people like our Trainers or Mastery Program people attending the seminar from various countries to carry some of the donations of others with them.

Moving on--
The Open Biz website tells us Psychology of Vision Canada registered in 2018 with Ong Kar Khalsa, the daughter of Spezzano former business partner Michael North, as the "owner":

Meanwhile the POV Canada Facebook page, which died in 2017, has been revived under the name Psychology of Vision Canada. It is coordinated by Peter Odehnal, who says on his own Facebook page that he "Manages Psychology of Vision Canada."
Then, to make matters more complicated, when you hit the Psychology of Vision Canada Facebook link for the main website of the group, you are not connected to the mainstream officially sanctioned POV link. Instead you find yourself in the personal website of trainer Bernadette Demens. You are also directed to her phone number.

Trying to sort out the organizational structures of the Spezzano and Associates Ltd. subsidiaries is like trying to eat slippery noodles with a spoon.

Not exactly a good example of a business model to follow. Who performs audits on the First Nations Fund?
Time to contact the CRA, Canada Revenue Agency.
It is pathetic that two Americans bloated with money and living a very affluent lifestyle are begging their gullible followers for money in order to transport even more victims into their sleazy scam "workshop."
And the government of Whistler BC cooperated with them. This tourist has written Whistler off my list as a future destination point.
The only thing worse than a large bureaucracy is a small bureaucracy.
Something is really fishy here.
The Spezzano revocable trust funds they devised for themselves as property owners, the unregistered "charities," the bucket-full of corporations filed in BC and Hawaii that never went anywhere, the question of how much public money (if any, even in the form of "educational work leave") has gone into Babs Stevens' frequent trips to Hawaii-Vancouver-Whistler and beyond, the POV Swiss bank account, the net profit amount the Spezzanos rake in every year-- all of these financial queries and more need to be examined by Revenue Canada, the US Internal Revenue Service, and/or professional journalists who know a thing or two about economics.
The way the First Nations Fund was handled in the Whistler event and is operated in general should be an indicator that something about this group is not transparent when it comes to money. Very questionable.
The POV Canada official webpage has been down since some time between Dec. 19-22. There has been no public announcement on other online sources about what is going here. I suspect we critics are probably the only ones who are noticing!
That nature photo on their splash page was also used by POV Canada about 8 years ago.
The POV Canada webpage was down for an entire month. That does not inspire confidence.
It has now been two months since POV had a change in trainer personnel but the POV Canada and POV Asia webpages have not been touched.
POV Asia webpage has, within the last 24 hours, completely vanished. Yesterday I noticed it had not been updated since Oct. 2018. POV Canada webpage remains unchanged.
And it gets weirder. Chuck's "Card of the Day" entries on his blog are suddenly being posted by "Unknown" instead of being in Chuck's name, although the Facebook version is still normal. Looks like all the past attributions to his daily authorship on the blog have been erased as well.
So far 2019 has not been a great year for POV. The chaos, confusion and disintegration of their online presence is a reflection that this for-profit corporation is more dysfunctional than ever.
As the Spezzanos themselves are not exactly great examples of the self-health they preach, so too is POV not a model for Steps to Leadership or Steps to Conscious Business.
Chuck's Card of the Day has also stopped being posted on a daily basis, recently having a sporadic distribution and the cards that are being posted have a theme of wanting redemption. How intriguing. What is happening at POV?
