A legacy is not just what you leave behind. It is also the connections you make and the ways you live that create a lasting impact on your relationships and the world around you. Sometimes people are planting the seeds of their long-lasting legacy without even knowing it. Other times it is taking a moment to step back and consider what is important to you and the values that guide your day-to-day; this can be an important exercise. Join us on Wednesday, May 10th as we share our thoughts and experiences, and discuss this topic together.

1. BUILDING A
LEGACY
How do you show up to the
world?

2. WHAT IS A
LEGACY?
• Often thought of as a gift or
inheritance that is handed down
• The small (and big) choices we
make each day that make a
difference.
• A way of sharing with others (and
yourself) hard earned insights you
gained because of experiences in
your past.
• The way you show up to the world.

3. THINK BIGGER (ACTUALLY SMALLER)
• We often associate legacy with fame,
money, big accomplishments but…
• In reality, we are building a legacy based
on small actions, simple relationships,
personal traditions and leaning into our
values every single day.
• When you know the ways you are building
”the story of you” you become more
intentional about the choices you make
each day.

4. “IF YOUR MOM (BEST FRIEND, SPOUSE, SIBLING,
CHILD) WERE HERE WITH ME, WHAT WOULD THEY
TELL ME ABOUT YOU?”

5. TAKE A
MOMENT
(YOU CAN USE RIGHT
NOW)
What are you been proud of?
What brings you calm and perspective?
What makes you feel motivated and
passionate?
When do you feel valued and acknowledged?
What type of people do you gravitate toward?
Do you know why?
What have you learned from someone? From
specific life experiences?
What makes you feel protective?

6. LIVING WITH INTENTION
• Intentions are not goals.
• Intentions are the way we live our life (the
route) not necessarily the destination.
• An opportunity to design and take
ownership (control) of our lived experience.
• Intentions come from our core beliefs and
values where we find clarity on what we
really want from life.
• WHO we want to be.
• HOW we want to interact with the world.

7. WHAT
MATTERS TO
YOU?
What values guide you?
How do you spend the energy in your tank?
What traditions (routines) are you committed to?
Why?
Are there new traditions you want to repeat that
feel meaningful to you and others?
How much do you believe you can effect the
influence you have on others?
Why does that matter to you?
Take a trip down memory lane. Tell stories,
share details.

8. Can you think of people you admire?
Consider someone you enjoy being
around…
WHY?
What qualities or characteristics do
you like about this other person?
Are these qualities you can cultivate
within yourself?

9. FOCUS: ZOOM IN & ZOOM
OUT
BEGIN LISTENING CLOSELY TO YOURSELF.
MEANING AND IDENTITY EVOLVE AND EMERGE OVER TIME.
STAY RECEPTIVE TO WHAT YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF THROUGH OTHERS.

10. It’s worth the struggle to discover who you really are and how
you, in your own way, can put life together as something that
means a lot to you.” - Mr. Rogers
