Legacy Leaders
About the Legacy Leaders Program
The Legacy Leaders Program was created by Dr. Carolyn Friend from her 35 years of experience as a family legacy consultant, clinical psychologist and community leader. Through this work, she witnessed the roadblocks that emerged as people started to think about their legacy. Many felt overwhelmed by where to start with sharing their wisdom, values and cherished possessions with future generations. Some were fearful about their efforts being rejected by those close to them, or that what they had to share was not important enough to warrant the effort. The complexity of where to start, and fear about how it would be received, kept many people from taking action.
She also witnessed the impact when people were willing to step out of their comfort zone and take action to share with those close to them. She developed a passion for supporting individuals to build their legacy, while stepping into a new kind of leadership. This leadership is built on clarity of purpose, a value for their own wisdom and the confidence to take action through participation in the program.
The Legacy Leaders Program provides a clear process, expert coaching and community to support you on our way to leading your legacy.
The Legacy Leaders program provides a roadmap to move you from confusion to clarity and action. It creates simplicity in the perceived complexity around building a legacy, and supports you by providing a clear process, coaching and community.
This program was created to empower Wisdom Keepers: the individuals who bridge knowledge, experiences and stories between generations. This can be within a family, community or network of close-knit individuals. Wisdom Keepers play an important role in connecting the past to the future and sharing insight to support next generations to evolve their lives.
While tangible assets are an important part of legacy, we believe that half of wealth is in the wisdom people gather during their lives. The Legacy Leaders Program is designed to support you to share that wisdom with the important people in your life while stepping into a new kind of leadership.
The program is based on four key components:
Clarity
Supporting you to define what legacy means to you and what is most important to you when you think about what impact you would like to have on present and future generations.
Purpose
Leading your legacy requires intentional communication with those close to you. Connecting to the purpose behind your efforts gives you a foundation for having meaningful conversations.
Confidence
Sharing your wisdom, values and cherished possessions can feel overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. Using Dr. Carolyn Friend’s method (developed with and time-tested with her own family!), we provide you with a structure and process for getting started and taking confident action.
Collaboration
The Legacy Leaders program provides connection to a community of other Wisdom Keepers who are leading their legacy in their own way. Participation in the program provides you with access to a community of support alongside others who are embarking on a legacy journey.
