MODULE 1: TODAY MATTERS*
Today Matters is all about self-leadership. The course will challenge you to stop spending too much time remembering the “good ol’ days” or day dreaming of what could be, and focus on making today the most important day we have. Only by making today the best it can be, can we build for a better tomorrow.
In this audio visual presentation of John Maxwell’s Today Matters, EQUIP trainers John Hull and Tom Atema unpack 12 daily practices to live your life to the best.
At the end of each lesson, sermons and conference messages from Willow Creek are provided for reflection and inspiration.
