The Legacy Drawing Board

S2E37: The creativity crisis of childhood.

The playground or sandlot is the laboratory, workshop, and studio for children in developing their innovation, leadership, and decision-making skills.  When they lose access and adults structure their playtime, this interference impacts their maturation as adults.  This deters them from writing their own stories and confides them to penning the sequel to their parents' stories.  No story, no legacy.  

S2E36: Setting up the meeting with your past and future selves.

We associate boredom and waste with meetings.  The key to better meetings is better design through storytelling.  One of the most important meetings for legacy building is with your past and future selves.  Listen to arrange this meeting to align vision with execution and to ensure you are on the path to building the legacy you want.    

S2E35: The important difference between designing and planning

There is a distinct and powerful difference between designing and planning.  This applies to meetings, weddings, your future, and your legacy.  Listen to find out how to shift your perspective from planning to designing.  This shift will enrich your outlook and yield fruit of your choosing.  

S2E34: Leadership lessons from Toy Story

Leadership lesson are not limited to the workplace or classroom.  Daily life provides us with ample opportunities to grow our leadership skills.  The original Toy Story had many moments of leadership lessons.  I discuss how you can discuss these with your children to help them with their leadership growth.  

S2E33: Celebration as a reflection of legacy

Bar mitzvah.  Quincenera.  Graduations.  Weddings.  How we celebrate the milestones of life is a reflection of our legacies.  When we celebrate with others, we strengthen the bonds of community.  Post-pandemic life calls us to renew our sense of communal purpose by reaching out and sharing our voices with encouragement and compassion.  

S2E32: The legacy of Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs was an innovator, an entrepreneur, and a visionary.  He ran Apple, NeXT and Pixar.  His legacy is defined by his storytelling abilities and how he placed technology in the hands of people in order that they can tell their stories.  

S2E31: Courage, the building block for virtures

Courage is not a singular act, but a process of overcoming fear.  It is the sacrifice of personal comfort to address the needs of others.  It is road not often traveled, but the one guided by your True North.  Is courage building a foundation of your legacy?
