Men of Honour Conference
2026-01-24 10:00 - 16:30 | 15641 96 Ave NW, 15641 96 Ave NW, EDMONTON, AB, Canada
Join us for a transformative day designed to ignite your potential and elevate your journey. This year’s theme, Lies That Kill a Man’s Dream, confronts the falsehoods and limiting beliefs that hold men back from living fully into their God-given purpose.
Every man wrestles with lies—whether it’s fear, inadequacy, shame, or the pressure to perform—and these lies often shape our choices, relationships, and destiny. At the Men of Honour Conference, you’ll gain clarity, truth, and practical tools to break free from these barriers so you can rise with authenticity and courage.
Expect dynamic speaker sessions, engaging workshops, and authentic conversations that cut to the heart of real issues men face today.
Whether you are searching for answers, needing encouragement, or longing for brotherhood, this event will meet you where you are and point you forward. You’ll leave with renewed vision, a deeper sense of identity, and the strategies you need to pursue your dreams with confidence.

Break Your Identity Ceiling
2026-04-28 18:00 - 20:30 | Holiday Inn Conference Ctr Edmonton South by IHG, 4485 Gateway Boulevard, Edmonton, AB, T6H 5C3, Canada
Join us for Break Your Identity Ceiling.

Most people spend years trying to solve their next level with strategy.
More discipline, more planning, more systems.
Yet something still refuses to move.
Because the real ceiling is rarely strategy.
It is identity.
Break Your Identity Ceiling is designed for ambitious professionals who sense that something bigger is available to them, but cannot yet see the invisible barrier standing in the way.
This is not another networking event and it is not a motivational talk.
It is an evening designed to slow down the noise, ask better questions, and explore the deeper patterns shaping your professional or business success.
At the center of the evening is a live coaching immersion called The Identity Gap. A guided experience where participants reflect, write, and explore the beliefs and identity patterns that quietly influence how far success expands.
There is often a moment during sessions like this when the room goes completely quiet, because people suddenly see something they had never seen before…and once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
The evening continues with dinner, guided group exercise, and thoughtful networking with people who chose to step into the room.
Some rooms give you information.
A few rooms change how you see yourself.
Break Your Identity Ceiling is designed to be one of those rooms.
