RISE ABOVE TESTIMONIALS

“Life is short.” You hear that all the time but how many people actually make a conscious effort to lead their best life? Doing the same thing day after day; stuck in neutral. If you are reading this, you are likely not one of those people. Rise Above was a reminder (or jumpstart if needed) to start each day with purpose and have the right mindset to live that best life. The speakers were interesting, informative and concise. The format was fast paced and perfectly timed. I highly recommend you take this opportunity to “Rise Above!”

Thank you for reaching out about your RISE ABOVE event in Calgary. This event was a life altering experience for me. Thank you for the experience to hear from some great speakers.
I come home with a whole new pep in my step and excited to tell all of my friends and coworkers. Working with the most valuable persons can be tough. Your speakers were able to lift me up and help me to feel supported and empowered with what I am doing and reigniting my passion for my career.
Thank you for all you bring to this seminar. I would love to hear you all speak again if that becomes available.

I attended the RISE ABOVE conference in Calgary in April 2024. It was very well organized and the speakers brought lots of useful and relevant information. I would recommend going to one of Ken Eddy’s conferences if you would like to accelerate your business or need to make improvements in your life overall. He also has a number of books that anyone would benefit from reading.

If you would like me to make any changes to this just let me know.
Thanks,

I wanted to send you a quick note to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to you for inviting my son Matt and I to your Rise Above Event last weekend!
All speakers left us with so many wonderful life lessons and inspiring stories to take with us to apply in our own lives.
We talked all the way home about it, still do, and most likely will for a long time to come.
This event came at a particularly pivotal time for us as Matt heads out to continue his dream of becoming a Firefighter while fighting Alberta Wildfires for the next 6 months.
Your event really helped empower Matt to take his enthusiasm to a whole new level.
Both of us are fairly optimistic guys but this event certainly helped kickstart some much needed positive thinking.

Again many thanks my friend. Looking forward to the next one!!

Sincerely

Jeff and Matt LaPointe

EDEN HAMPSON

“Art of Balance”

Eden Hampson’s journey truly embodies the essence of discipline, dedication, and balance. His achievement in martial arts, coupled with a thriving personal life, speaks volumes about his commitment to both his passions and relationships.

His ability to strike a balance between work, family, and personal interests is a testament to effective time management and setting priorities. It’s a misconception that success is solely the result of luck; instead, it often arises from focused efforts, perseverance, and a clear vision of what one wants to achieve.

Hampson’s example teaches us that controlling one’s life involves mastering the art of balance. By understanding what truly matters and prioritizing accordingly, one can navigate through life’s challenges with clarity. Lowering stress levels becomes possible when we learn to allocate time wisely, nurture relationships, and pursue our goals with determination.

Ultimately, finding success on our own terms requires a blend of dedication, resilience, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Hampson’s story serves as an inspiration for anyone seeking to achieve their goals while cherishing personal connections and reducing stress in their journey.

DAVE SWEET

“Courageous Leadership”

Detective Dave Sweet’s career spans 25 impactful years in Canadian policing, encompassing various roles and high-stakes investigations. Starting as a patrol officer, he ventured into undercover work and took charge of task forces targeting gangs and organized crime in Calgary. However, it was his 14.5-year tenure in the homicide unit that truly defined his investigative prowess, focusing on cases involving homicide, missing persons, and suspicious deaths.

His expertise in solving some of Canada’s most heinous crimes earned him recognition, with several of his high-profile investigations gaining national attention through documentaries like CBC’s “The Detectives,” Global Television’s “Crime Beat,” and Investigative Discovery’s “Murder Board.” Dave’s transition into authorship began in 2023 with Stark Publishing releasing his debut book, “Skeletons in My Closet – 101 Life Lessons from a Homicide Detective,” a collaboration with co-author Sarah Kades.

Throughout his career, Dave’s contributions were acknowledged with prestigious awards, including the Distinguished Service Award (2010), the Chief’s Award for Investigative Excellence (2017), the Governor General’s Exemplary Service Medal (2021), and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal (2022).

Dave’s philosophy of “love people” serves as his guiding principle, shaping his inner strength and mindfulness—a perspective that likely influences his approach to investigations, writing, and life itself.

Today, Dave will share with the audience the processes and mental toughness it takes when dealing with life and death situations, and what investigators go through in their relentless efforts to pursue the truth.
