Those on the Early Bird list receive first access before registration opens publicly.

Why Recommit?

Because success without alignment is exhausting and you’ve achieved so much, but you know there is more.
Your next level requires space to think, feel, and choose.

Recommit is for the leader who’s ready to:

  • Pause and reflect without rushing

  • Reconnect to purpose, values, and inner voice

  • Release habits that no longer serve

  • Set intentions for 2026 with confidence

  • Be poured into, instead of always pouring out

You don’t need another conference. You need a moment of stillness and strategy.

Why Join the Early Bird List Now?

Space will be limited…intentionally.
Recommit is designed for intimacy, depth, and conversation, and once seats are gone, they’re gone.

Early Bird benefits:

✔ First access to registration
✔ Access to the lowest ticket price
✔ You secure your spot before public release

If 2026 is your year to elevate, this is your space to begin.
