1 BIG Idea:

Your leadership legacy isn’t just about what you accomplish—it’s about who you are, why you lead, and how you impact others. It all starts with knowing your why.

3 Ways to Apply This:

  1. Clarify Your Core Values – Your why is rooted in what truly matters to you. Identify your values and ensure they align with your leadership.
  2. Define Your Leadership Legacy Statement – Write down the impact you want to leave behind and how you want to be remembered as a leader.
  3. Live Your Why Daily – Your leadership legacy isn’t built at the end of your career; it’s shaped in every decision, conversation, and action you take today.

3 Questions to Ask Yourself:

  1. What do I want people to say about my leadership when I’m not in the room?
  2. How does my why influence the way I show up and lead right now?
  3. What steps can I take today to align my leadership with the legacy I want to leave?
