The 8:01 Moment

A library of leadership resources to help you learn and grow after the NIBA Annual Convention.

What Is the 8:01 Moment?

What are you going to do at 8:01 a.m. tomorrow that’s different, that accelerates your journey to growth? Furthermore, what are you going to do at 8:01 p.m. to show up in service to the people you love, who love you back?

We must all be continuous learners who embrace change and push ourselves to keep growing. But we must also be prepared to put that learning into practice. That’s the “8:01 moment.”
