What does it mean to become a better version of yourself? And HOW do we go about it in a way that communicates it to those around us? All of us to strive to be the best versions of ourselves, as God created us to be - and this time of year is when we start thinking about making those changes and planning to improve ourselves and our lives.

I’m excited to introduce my guest, Jon Kidwell. He offers a unique perspective on making changes in our lives. Jon is a leadership coach, speaker, and podcaster at Leadwell. We talk today about "salient temporal landmarks" - what they are and why they're normal, as well as 3 practical ways we can "Rehire Your Best Self":
1. Own Your Past
2. Communicate that You're Practicing
3. Change the Cycle
If you want to change the direction of your life, you’ll find this conversation insightful!
