Rashida shared how the Institute aims to prepare leaders to build with clarity, courage, and conviction in every sphere of influence: from the pulpit to the boardroom, the classroom to the community.

A Purpose-Driven Gathering

Far more than a conference, the Institute is a catalytic experience for transformation. Over three days, attendees engage in worship, workshops, and keynote sessions that merge spiritual awakening with actionable leadership strategies. With a lineup of influential speakers, thought leaders, and ministry innovators, the event will quickly become a must-attend for those seeking more than inspiration—they want impact.

On the podcast, Dore-Wilson also discussed the importance of community among leaders. The conference is creating a community of accountability, authenticity, and anointing.

A Movement Gaining Momentum

There will undoubtely be stories of breakthrough and leaders who will leave the Institute with not only fresh vision, but new partnerships, clarity in their calling, and tools to lead at the next level.

Whether you’re leading in ministry, the marketplace, or somewhere in between, Ignite is for you. If you’re tired of playing small—this is your time to rise, rebuild, and lead boldly.
