Hey GenXer. Do you ever think about your legacy? Unless you’re a big philanthropist with your name on a building, it might not come up. But it’s hidden in a question I hear a lot of clients ask: “did my work in corporate even matter?” 

Legacy is the imprint you leave on your kids, your people, and your work. For many, especially GenXers, that legacy is tangled up with family expectations and career traditions. But what if parts of that legacy were never really yours to carry?

There are other ways to think about legacy that hold clues for what you might build next, and important work you can do before you even figure out what that will be.

The question of legacy will take us a couple of episodes. In part 1, we’ll explore the legacy you inherited–family traditions, career roles, expectations—and how to decide which pieces are actually yours. In part 2, we’ll look at the legacy you get to create going forward.

Shelley McIntyre is a coach for people leaving corporate jobs who don't know what comes next.

She spent years as a corporate strategist before leaving to figure out her own next chapter. Now she helps other people do the same without falling apart in the process.
