In a world driven by metrics, SENT leaders aim higher. Set goals that are not only SMART—specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound—but also virtuous: anchored in prayer, ordered toward the common good, and rooted in trust in God’s providence. Let your ambition be holy. #CatholicLeadership #VirtuousGoals #SENTVentures #sentsummit2025
