The Legacy Way

Leadership and Executive coaches Adam G. Fleming and Peter Jansen discuss a variety of aspects to think about how to build a legacy, using your energy to build something to outlast your own lifetime. While defining the aspects each person needs to think about, Fleming and Jansen also describe the immense value a person gets from an experience like a pilgrimage or walkabout, walking, hiking or running experiences that help a person clear enough space and time for thinking about their legacy so that they end with clear and focused vision for their purpose. The authors, both avid hikers of the Camino de Santiago in Portugal and Spain, invite the reader on a Legacy-oriented journey."

What is a Legacy? It's not about putting your name on a building! It's about doing something in the world that still has an impact in 400 years. In The Legacy Way, executive coaches Adam G. Fleming and Peter Jansen talk about the components of building a legacy and discuss a unique process they have each used to uncover their own purpose: the Camino, or Way of St. James, a physically demanding hike that helps people take a long, hard look at their virtues, values, vision and purpose.

Recommended additional resource: a companion to this book is The Legacy Way: A Camino Training Journal, designed for those interested in hiking a Camino or other physically challenging sabbatical experience.
