Do You Know the Legacy You Want to Leave Behind?

Legacy is not just for after we are gone, whether that is gone from a job, a business, a relationship, or a life. It is something we are building every day, consciously or not.

Legacy is not just for after we are gone, whether that is gone from a job, a business, a relationship, or a life. It is something we are building every day, consciously or not.

Whether you lead a team, a business, a family, or simply yourself, you are shaping something that will outlive your current chapter. That might be impact, influence, or how people feel in your presence.

I invite you to zoom out beyond this quarter, this year, and this project, and focus into something bigger. If you know the legacy you want to leave, you should see a shift in how you show up today.

Please take a moment to reflect on this question:

  • If someone described your influence 10 years from now, what would you want them to say?

Please take my free ALIGN Scorecard if you are unsure where you stand. It is a structured self-assessment across six key pillars of life and leadership. It only takes five minutes to complete, and when you finish, you will be sent a personalised report that sets your baseline alignment.

Your next 10 years start today.

Take the Scorecard here.
