@ClintHurdle13 Another incredibly impactful Career Development Summit! 🙏❤️ I am so grateful to be part of it.

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

11/24 🤔’s from the MLBPAA Career Development Seminar

Leadership is a transfer of belief.

We don’t get burned out by what we do …we get burned out by forgetting why we do it.

Find a purpose that is greater than your identity.

What you’re devoted to will drive your destiny.
