PURPOSE, LEGACY, AND IMPACT
PART II

December 3, 2020
4:30pm-6:00pm

NOTE:  If you attended LEGACY, Part I, you are encouraged to register for Part II.  Attending Part I is not a pre-requisite to join Part II.  All are welcome and encouraged to register.  Part II will be a continuation of the topics discussed in Part I as well as those that we did not have time to cover.

The dictionary defines legacy as a gift of personal property by will. The origin comes from the Latin verb, Legare “to appoint by a last will”, or to “send us as an ambassador”. 

During the past 10 months the world has experienced something unprecedented with COVID. It has shined the light on the uncertainty of life and what our splash is in this world. As we reflect on this year, our impact, and the brevity of life, we have a unique opportunity to become intentional about our legacy.

What constitutes  a legacy? 

• Do all people intend to leave a legacy? 

• What differentiates legacy from impact? 

Legacy has elements of time, intention and action. 

• Some legacies began to show up while we haven’t left.

• Some legacies are like fire, they catch other’s interest, and become bigger than one person.

• Some legacies survive beyond generations. 

• Sometimes it’s difficult to find one’s legacy. 

Join us for this Cutting Edge Conversation to explore further.
