Your career, your legacy
Five ideas to help you build a meaningful professional legacy.
Your legacy is shaped by your everyday actions, so it’s important to reflect on how you spend your time. Be sure your priorities align with the values that matter most to you. Consider these ideas when thinking about your career legacy:
1. Expand your knowledge. Lifelong learners experience deeper personal fulfillment and have a greater positive impact on society.
2. Stretch yourself. New job responsibilities or driving business growth fuels motivation and provides a sense of accomplishment.
3. Check in as you move up. A higher salary is reason to celebrate – and a good time to revisit your budget and long-term financial plan.
4. Share your experiences. Find a mentoring opportunity, formally or informally. Or create a blog or podcast to share your wisdom.
5. Address the future. Start thinking about your succession plans before you need them.
