Creativity, Collaboration, and Story with Jeff Dunn

Jeff is an incredible dad, a great guy to coach basketball with, and now a published author. He's wrapped up a successful Kickstarter campaign for his new book, A Buffalo Out of Water. And now it's time to share the story with the world. After Jeff and his wife, Whitney became the proud parents of two great kids, a rare genetic syndrome led them to continue building their family through adoption. We have had a front-row seat to watch their family welcome in two sons through adoption over these past few years. And now A Buffalo Out of Water will introduce kids to the beauty of adoption and help them understand how they can support and encourage their adopted friends. ----------------------- ================= Lead Local Presented by Leaders Rising Network Our People System Audit is your next step to creating a bigger future and building a thriving culture.
