Episode 3 - One Word That Will Change Your Life

As written on Jon Gordon’s website:

In 1999, the authors (Jon Gordon, Jimmy Page, and Dan Britton) discovered a better way to become their best and live a life of impact. Instead of creating endless goals and resolutions, they found one word that would be their driving force for the year. No goals. No wish lists. Just one word. Best of all… anyone, anytime can discover their word for the year.

Join our host, Kayla Durkin, as she outlines her "One Word" for each of the last four school years, her word for the 2019-2020 school year, and how she plans to live out her word and what she wants to accomplish with it and how you can too!
