A MASTERCLASS in POSITIVE FAMILY LEADERSHIP w/ JON GORDON

As men we are called to lead - lead ourselves, lead our businesses, and most importantly, lead our families. Doing so in a positive, uplifting manner in which your wife and kids are nurtured, inspired, and driven to become all that God created them to be.. now that is no small tall task. Jon Gordon is today’s guest, and he’s going to tell us exactly how to do this. This is a MASTERCLASS in POSITIVE FAMILY LEADERSHIP.

Jon Gordon is a husband, father, and author. His best-selling books and talks have inspired millions of readers and audiences around the world. He is the author of The timeless classic The Energy Bus, The Carpenter, Training Camp, The Power of Positive Leadership, The Power of a Positive Team, and his latest The One Truth. When he’s not running through airports or speaking to businesses, hospitals or schools, you can find him playing pickleball and taking long walks which are when he gets most of his ideas. Jon believes in keeping his bio short because his past accomplishments are meaningless. What matters most is that he says something today that will inspire you to take action tomorrow.
