    As leaders, we are constantly surrounded by messages to pursue more. More money. More clients. More influence. More opportunities.

    Become more aware of your God-given resources to manage (this list is bigger than you think!)
    Recognize opportunities to maximize your leadership impact using tools you already have at your disposal
    Learn the keys for discerning what priorities to steward right now
    Build a roadmap to reverse engineer your visions and take your goals from conception to completion
    Become more purposeful in your day-to-day decisions and routines
    Create a leadership reputation known by follow-through and intentionality, not just good intentions

    With equal parts inspiration and accountability, Now Before Next will change how you think about the God-given resources you've been entrusted to manage and challenge you to be more intentional in your decision-making and your execution.

    Find the power in NOW before you sprint to what's NEXT.
