Are you spending that quality time with your loved ones, or does the hustle and bustle of day-to-day responsibilities make you feel like there just isn't enough time in the day?

Dr. Mervin A. Jenkins has spent his entire professional career wrestling with that very question. “As a former school principal and assistant regional director of a national nonprofit organization, and now as a senior manager for an ed tech company, my time has mostly been consumed by meeting the demands of the job. This has consequently left little time to share with family and friends. However, that “little” can easily equal a lot, and that is why I wrote this book.”

Before They Leave Here, While They Are With Us is a short and easy read to help remind us all that while jobs will always be here for us, in some capacity, our loved ones won’t. This book provides readers the initiative to reconnect with those both near and far in meaningful ways, to help deepen relationships with those you love while still remaining focused on the job! Through personal stories and life-learned lessons, Dr. Jenkins delivers teachable moments, along with an interactive activity, that are sure to help you begin your journey of reconnecting and reinvigorating your relationships with those you love. It offers you both things to do before they leave here and, more importantly, while they are with us.
