This week we welcome leadership expert, Devin Durrant to the show. An All-American at BYU, former NBA player, successful real estate investor, and inspirational  speaker. From the basketball court to conference rooms, Devin has found success in multiple ventures, but doesn't credit his basketball prowess or innate leadership knowledge with his accomplishments - instead, he owes it all to the inner moral compass that has guided him over the course of his life. His new book, The Values Delta  helps coaches and leaders discover their own compass. In this episode he shares practical advice on how coaches and leaders can create a meaningful difference by identifying priority values and simplify their message and approach.  https://thevaluesdelta.com/ Send us a Message.
