Ep 131 Why Legacy Fulfillment Should be Your Top Priority in Midlife
In this takeaway episode, I explain why my recent experience at the Inspire Leadership Initiative (ILI) annual speaker series event at the University of Notre Dame left such a lasting impression on me as I ponder my own legacy fulfillment. And, I offer you a challenge on this topic I urge you to consider.
Here are 3 key discussion points from episode 130:
1️⃣ A Strong Sense of Community: The ILI program fosters an incredible sense of community among its participants. It was inspiring to witness the deep connections and rapport among the fellows and alumni. They truly become a family, and that support continues long after the program ends.
2️⃣ Life Transformation: The ILI program goes beyond career guidance. Participants experience a profound transformation in mind, body, and spirit. They gain clarity and purpose not just for their careers but for their entire next chapter in life.
3️⃣ Being a Force for Good: The University of Notre Dame's motto, "a force for good," resonates throughout the ILI program. Everyone involved is driven to make a positive impact in the world. This mindset becomes the guiding North Star for the entire community.
Tune in to this episode to discover how I came to realize that legacy fulfillment can be the ultimate midlife pillar for us in midlife. I suggest that it is analogous to self-actualization in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
I submit that legacy fulfillment is immutable – nothing or no one can take it away from you.
My challenge to you is to ask yourself where are you in your legacy fulfillment journey?
