Speakers
The Table: Where We Find Ourselves, Each Other and the Strength to Keep Going
Beth Barber-Boulet

Bread is passed at the table with generational wisdom and love.

Faith and the Family Table
Brent Stromme Speaker & Business Coach

With over 35 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my life to inspiring and equipping audiences to achieve success. As a serial entrepreneur, media strategist, content creator, pastor, husband, father, and grandfather, I bring a wealth of insight and practical wisdom to every stage I step onto.

My goal isn’t just to tell inspiring stories but to provide actionable strategies that empower people to take meaningful steps toward growth, whether in business, relationships, or personal development.

Fueled by a passion for helping others create lasting impact, I leverage speaking, and consulting to guide individuals and teams toward more productive, purpose-driven lives.

Business and Family Balance
Chantell Hammond Business and Marketing Coach

The purpose of my talk is to connect with solopreneurs who feel completely overwhelmed and underqualified in their marketing. I start by addressing the root cause of their frustration: repeatedly trying (and failing) to make someone else’s marketing strategy work for a business it wasn’t designed for. 

Once they recognize this pattern, I’ll introduce the three foundational elements that every successful marketing strategy needs—regardless of industry or niche: audience, messaging, and funnels. 

I also challenge the common tendency to constantly look outward for answers. Solopreneurs who rely on others to dictate their marketing strategy are setting themselves up for failure. The real answers come from looking inward. The only time they should be looking outward is to find mentors who help them uncover their own path. 

To help them take action, I’ll provide a free marketing strategy audit, giving them the first step to identify where they need to focus to improve their marketing performance.

Terror Around the Table: The psychological forces ripping your family apart
Dr Ashley-Christopher Fallon Dr

When families break down, the real danger often comes from a place no one wants to look……

In Terror Around the Table, Dr Fallon reveals the hidden psychological dynamics that fracture families and sustain generational trauma. Learn how specific brain factors can blind us to early warning signs - allowing harmful patterns to take root and escalate. Through years of work with individuals across the mental health and criminal justice systems, he reveals how ordinary girls and boys can develop into high-risk, even dangerous, adults when these psychological forces go unrecognized.

Learn how family systems - designed to protect - can become sources of harm, and whether these destructive patterns are inevitable or can be diverted. With a focus on the psychology of behavior, he challenges audiences to identify and confront these unseen threats before they cause lasting damage.

In this compelling presentation there is one vital question: how safe is your family unit when there is terror around the table?

Parenting teenagers is a journey filled with challenges, growth, and transformation—not just for teens, but for their parents as well. In this discussion, we dive into what it truly takes to raise teens into confident, capable adults while maintaining a strong parent-teen relationship.

We’ll explore:

The Power of Conscious Communication with Your Teenager
Marieke Kittelson Coach M - Parent/Teen Life Coach

Conscious Communication is the key to building a deeply connected, respectful, and influential relationship with your teenager. It’s about shifting from reactive parenting (where frustration, nagging, and control dominate)….to intentional conversations that foster trust and understanding.

At its core, Conscious Communication is made up of three powerful elements: Vulnerability, Empathy, Curiosity. When parents practice these, they create an emotional space where their teen feels seen, heard, and valued. This isn’t about giving up authority—it’s about creating influence. The more your teen feels understood, the more they will turn to you for guidance.

Conscious Communication teaches you how to listen with curiosity, validate your teen's emotions without judgment, and express your own thoughts with honesty and vulnerability. This approach not only dissolves disrespect and resistance but also empowers your teen to make better decisions….ones that align with their values, not just your expectations.

When you communicate consciously, your words become a bridge rather than a barrier. You stop engaging in power struggles and start creating conversations that deepen connection. And through that connection, you gain the greatest influence of all….the kind that makes your teen want to come to you, trust your advice, and feel safe in your presence.

Mastering Conscious Communication is the game-changer that will transform your relationship with your teen from tense and distant to open and connected. If you want to be the parent your teenager turns to….this is the skill you must develop.

Winning Together: The Championship Formula for Sports & Life
Rich Grogan Coach

Every championship team thrives on trust, communication, and accountability—just like a strong family. In this powerful talk, Coach Rich Grogan will break down the Championship Formula that helps athletes, parents, and coaches win together by strengthening bonds at home and on the ice.

From game time to family time, the habits that build great athletes are the same ones that build strong leaders, respectful teammates, and confident young men and women. Success isn’t just about skill—it’s about connection, discipline, and doing the things others aren’t willing to do.

Coach Rich will share how sitting around the dinner table, just like sitting on the bench between shifts, is an opportunity to grow, learn, and lead. Because when families and teams are **on the same page, working toward the same goal, and holding each other accountable—**championships happen.

🔥 Whether you’re a parent, coach, or athlete, you’ll walk away with practical tools to strengthen your connections, communicate better, and lead with integrity—on and off the ice.
