Join me for another talk about C.P.R. - Conundrums, Ponderings, and Reflections. Today is only happening today. So, while today is still today... I'm gonna share a bit of takeaways from my last 24 hours.

Sharing from Acts 18, sharing a word for those who are or will be in positions to Speak on a stage (digital or in person), maybe a few takeaways from discussions I've recently had with folks... and whatever comes up in the conversation. #iswhatitis #iykyk

To everyone who knows - Yes, yes it is another acronym. Why not? As a reminder to those who don't know - Yes, yes I do like words... A LOT! Coming up with new Acronyms is a fun, entertaining challenge for me and I do, indeed, enjoy them!

A lot of the time, for me, it's the little things in life, y'all. Enjoy all of it! Big, medium, small... and all the in-between. And for those that need it, remember - you are not alone and loved so very much!

I am launching a new business initiative to help fund our nonprofit organization, Kingdom Industries United, where we help leaders in the Kingdom of God through the many Unity Projects of connection, collaboration and community.

For the business launch, I have written a book to connect you to the heart of what I do as I serve leaders. Intentionally Teachable Leaders, LLC. is a way for me to meet you where you are at and discover together the ways that we can help move you forward and upward in all you do. It's an acceleration, elevation, and alignment initiative rooted in the Word of God. Together, we can. Together, we are. Let's go!

Sign up to receive the free eBook for leaders who serve others and are experiencing overwhelm, burnout, and/or procrastination. On top of these strategies and solutions, the topic of time management is also covered.
