ConnectUs Resources — The Refinery

Next cohort starts January 4, 2027 — Limited seats available

The Refinery — ConnectUs Resources

12 weeks.
No shortcuts.
Real results.

A cohort program for people in the trades, oil and gas, mining, and heavy industry who are done just getting by — and ready to actually build something with their life.

The Refinery is not a course you buy and forget. It's a structured 12-week process — live calls, small group accountability, real frameworks, and the physical discipline to back all of it up. By the end, you'll know who you are, where you're going, and exactly what's been standing in your way.

This is for the person
who's done drifting.

You don't need to be in crisis to need this. You need to be at the point where coasting isn't enough anymore.

The Refinery is for you if —

  • You've done Core Sample and know there's more work to do
  • You're in a leadership role — formal or not — and feel like you're operating on instinct rather than intention
  • You've got the income, the experience, and the reputation — and something still feels unfinished
  • You want to be more present at home and have no idea how to get there from where you are
  • You're ready to do real work with real people — not just consume content alone
  • You want structure, accountability, and someone who's actually been where you are

This is NOT for you if —

  • You're looking for a quick fix
  • You want to be validated, not challenged
  • You won't commit to showing up for 12 weeks
  • You think the problem is everyone else

"If you've read this far and felt something — that's the signal."

Where you are.
Where you'll be.

Before The Refinery
  • Reacting to life instead of leading it
  • Reliable at work, running on empty everywhere else
  • No clear picture of what's actually driving your decisions
  • The gap between who you are and who you want to be is getting wider
  • Present in the room, checked out in the relationship
  • Strong instincts, no framework to back them up
After The Refinery
  • Clear on who you are and how you're wired — no guessing
  • A physical baseline that supports everything else, not just your job
  • A leadership style that's intentional, not accidental
  • A written vision for your life — and a plan to move toward it
  • Relationships that actually get better instead of just surviving
  • A cohort of people who've done the same work and will hold you to it

"The Refinery isn't about becoming someone else. It's about becoming who you were already made to be — and building a life that reflects it."

Six modules.
Twelve weeks.
One direction.

Each module runs two weeks. Each one builds on the last. The arc runs from the inside out — who you are, how you function, what you're called to, how you lead, who you love, and where you're going.

Weeks 1–2
Identity
"Who am I actually — not who I perform to be?"

Deep Enneagram work. Your core type, your stress patterns, your motivations. Why you do what you do when the pressure's on. This module doesn't just tell you your number — it shows you what to do with it.

Enneagram Deep Dive Core Type Report Stress/Growth Map Identity Statement
Weeks 3–4
Body
"Am I running the machine or is it running me?"

ISSA-informed physical baseline. Sleep, movement, recovery, fuelling. Built around the reality of shift work and remote environments — not a gym culture that doesn't apply to your life. The body is not separate from the development. It is the development.

Weeks 5–6
Calling
"What am I actually built for — and am I doing it?"

CliftonStrengths Full Assessment included. Integration of your Enneagram type with your top strengths to build a clear picture of what you're wired to contribute — and where you've been grinding against your own grain. This isn't about quitting your job. It's about understanding your lane.

CliftonStrengths Full (included) Strengths + Type Map Calling Clarity Exercise Role Audit
Weeks 7–8
Leadership
"How do I actually show up for the people counting on me?"

You're already leading — whether you have the title or not. This module takes everything from Modules 1–3 and applies it outward. Your leadership style, your blind spots, the friction you create without realizing it, and what it looks like to lead from your actual strengths rather than your default patterns.

Weeks 9–10
Relationships
"Why does the way I operate at work blow up at home?"

The people in your life don't get a rotation. The patterns that make you effective on site — the drive, the self-sufficiency, the high standards — are the same ones that can quietly destroy everything at home if you don't understand them. This module is about being present, not just physically in the room.

Weeks 11–12
Vision
"What does the life I actually want look like — and what's my next move?"

This is where everything lands. You've done the identity work, the physical work, the leadership work. Now you build the map. A written personal vision. A 90-day action plan. A clear picture of who you're becoming and what you're building — with a cohort of people who've done the same work and will hold you to it.

What you're
doing each week.

No vague promises. Here's exactly what each week of The Refinery involves.

The Lesson
A focused teaching on the module concept — video-based, plain language, built for people who don't have time for theory that doesn't apply. Each lesson gives you one key framework to work with that week.
The Work
Concrete assignments. Not "reflect on your week" — specific exercises, assessments, and structured deliverables that produce something you keep. Each week's work feeds the next module.
The Body Practice
A physical protocol tied directly to the interior work of that module. Sleep, movement, recovery — specific, trackable, and built around your actual schedule. Not a gym program. A whole-person practice.
The Journal Prompts
Three to five questions that push past the surface. These aren't soft — they're the kind of questions nobody in your industry ever asks you. The answers belong to you. But the process changes you.
The Live Cohort Call
One live group call per module — facilitated by Evan, attended by your cohort. This is where the work gets real. You're not watching a replay of someone else's transformation. You're in the room doing the work.
The Win
Every week ends with a named deliverable — something concrete you walk away with. Not a feeling. A document, a framework, a decision, a protocol. Twelve weeks in, you have twelve wins on the table.

Every module includes an optional faith layer — deeper questions, additional content, and reflection prompts for the participant who wants to bring their whole self to the work. It's not a separate program. It runs alongside everything else. You opt in or out at any time.

Over CA$8,000 in value.

The questions
you're probably asking.

CA$997 is a lot of money right now.
It is. And it's also less than a set of tires, less than most certification courses, and a fraction of what you'll spend this year on things that don't change anything. The question isn't whether you can afford CA$997. It's whether you can afford to keep going the way things are going.
I work rotations. Can I actually commit to 12 weeks?
The program is designed around the reality of shift work. The weekly content is self-paced. The live cohort calls are recorded if you miss one. The body practices are built around your actual schedule — not a gym culture that assumes you're home every night at 6pm.
How is this different from a regular coaching program?
Most coaching programs are built for office workers or entrepreneurs. The language is wrong, the examples don't apply, and the facilitator has never worked a rotation in their life. Evan has. The Refinery is built from the inside of this world, not from the outside looking in.
What if I fall behind?
The program has built-in catch-up structure. Content stays accessible throughout the 12 weeks and beyond. The cohort calls are recorded. You're expected to show up — but life happens, and the program is designed by someone who knows what that looks like in this industry.
Do I need to have done Core Sample first?
Not required — but recommended. Core Sample gives you a head start on the identity work that The Refinery builds on. If you haven’t done it, you can pick it up on its own for CA$199 any time before the cohort starts.
Is there a faith component I have to engage with?
No. The faith track is optional and clearly marked throughout every module. The program works completely on its own without it. If you want to go deeper on that layer, it's there. If you don't, you won't miss a thing from the main program.

Built by someone
who's been there.

Evan Jordanov has worked the oilfield, farmed, travelled the world, and spent years in leadership development — not from a coaching background, but from the ground up. The Refinery is built on the conviction that the people doing the hardest work in this country deserve access to the best development tools available. No watered-down version. The real thing.

Seats are
limited.
