CONTENT OVERVIEW:
“Crafting Your Legacy”
Each day, each moment, we face choices. The actions we take lead to a life and a legacy that is rich, consequential, and meaningful OR lead us to lives and legacy that are tolerable, barren and/or destructive.
Life is asking us all to answer the specific question it’s asking each us and how we identify that question and craft our answer becomes our legacy.
These seven days you will help you:
- Learn the tools to embrace the specific question life is asking you.
- Identify the tools you will need to craft a meaningful legacy.
- Gain the wisdom, encouragement and motivation to craft a calling that is personally meaningful, culturally significant and carries lasting impact.
