69. Jeff Christian - The Power of Pizza

69. Jeff Christian - The Power of Pizza “We put extra pressure on ourselves to have to do everything, to want to do everything. And if we can take that step back and realize, let me focus on what's truly essential in my life. And then to develop that gift and share it with the world and then allow.” Guest Info: Jeff Christian is a husband, father, registered nurse, basketball coach, podcast host of Life’s Essential Ingredients, and is the founder of the nonprofit organization––C4 Leaders.

C4 Leaders is an authority in team building.  Reach out to Jeff if you are interested in helping your team communicate better, build trusting relationships, and to be coachable. Favorite Quote: “It is trust in the limits of the self that makes us open. And it is trust in the gifts of others that makes us. We come to realize that we don't have to do everything that we can't do. Everything that what I can't do is someone else's gift and responsibility. My limitations make space for the gifts of other people.” — Sister Joan Chittister R.O.G. Takeaway Tips: What’s on our pizza?  How well do we model the 4C’s in our lives?
