Robb Lucy is a journalist, speaker and author. His talk today, and his book - ‘How Will You Be Remembered? The definitive guide to creating and sharing your life stories’ - will stir you in all aspects of your personal and business life.

At the end of our talk you’ll have the ability to create the most powerful legacy you could ever give your family. You’ll learn how to collect the stories of loved ones you just don’t want to disappear. And you’ll learn how to create your own personal legacies and their stories that will being you a deep happiness.

Most people think they’ll be remembered for their legacy of ‘stuff’ that they leave behind. Robb disagrees, and demonstrates how rewarding it is to leverage our values, skills, talents and resources to build our legacies, and their stories, at home or at work. Those legacies and their stories will connect us to others, enhance all our lives, make us happy… and will continue to positively affect others when we finally ‘go’.

Robb’s first career was as a producer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, then he spent 35 years managing his own production company, producing mixed media for corporations and governments around the world. He was the co-founder of the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Canada,  and spent 25 years on its local, national and international boards. Because of this, and other charity work, he received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Robb has enjoyed a career of writing, producing and connecting… and he continues to help develop non-profits in literacy, sports history, prostate cancer awareness and his local Search and Rescue.
Robb knows we can easily create a variety of legacies and their stories Now, while we’re young. His information is for anyone who has asked: Will I make a difference? Are my stories worth telling? Do I want to leave a mark, and enjoy it now? And do I want my (our) descendants a hundred years from now to hear our stories? Won’t that make them happy to know whose blood flows in them?
