Ep #10: Learnings from a Queen
SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 • 13min
Today I want to talk about something a little bit different. I woke this morning to the news of Queens Elizabeth II’s passing. I thought this would be a valuable opportunity to reflect on the life of a truly remarkable woman, and what she teaches us about who we are, and how we show up in our lives.
I know for most of us, Queen Elizabeth II has been the only monarch we’ve had. Having such a steadfast and public female at the helm has opened us up to understand what’s possible for women.
I reflect on the reasons why the Queen has been so influential and beloved and how her ability to connect has been at the core of this.
Queen Elizabeth II really gave her whole self in her work ethic and sense of duty to her people. She was never able to switch off or change course. She was steadfastly dedicated to being in service and she has never shied away from that.
The Queen’s legacy has made me stop and think - what is the legacy I’m leaving? How do I want to be remembered? What influence do I want to have on the world? I invite you to think about what you want your greatest accomplishments to be.
Our legacy is there irrespective of how intentional we are. However, the more intentional and deliberate we can become about crafting a legacy we are proud of, the more good we will do in the world.
I share some ideas that can help each of us step up to be the person that we want to be.
