Uncertain? Take the Next Right Step with Jeff Henderson (ep. 490)

Jeff Henderson

John O’Leary welcomes Jeff Henderson 0nto the Live Inspired Podcast to discuss taking the next right step when faced with uncertainty.

Recently named by Forbes Magazine as one of twenty speakers you shouldn’t miss, Jeff Henderson is an expert at taking the next right step when life is uncertain.

After leaving his marketing position at Chick-fil-A to start a church and nonprofit, and leaving his non-profit in the midst of a global pandemic, Jeff recognizes that navigating what’s next in life–whether in your career, personal life, or relationships–often brings a level of uncertainty and anxiety.

Today, Jeff shares the difference between success and excellence and outlines how to reduce the risk yet not be bounded by fear in a season of change.
