Terrie Davoll Hudson, a business leader, motivational speaker, professional coach with over thirty years of leadership experience & author of the book Leave a Legacy That Counts joins Enterprise Radio.
This episode of Enterprise Radio is working in conjunction with the Author Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Terrie Davoll Hudson discuss the following:
- Lots of business leaders write books. What inspired you to write this book, Leave a Legacy That Counts?
- What does legacy mean to you in the context of your book?
- “Know Your Why” is one of the main chapters in the book. Tell us how knowing your why connects to your legacy.
- If someone hasn’t thought about legacy before, what advice do you have to help them start building a legacy?
- I noticed that there is a bumblebee image throughout the book. Is there a backstory on the bee?
Tip: If I could give one tip for creating a legacy, and for living life more fully, it would be to BE INTENTIONAL. Without intention, we drift through life aimlessly, letting others define who and what we are. You decide for yourself. Be deliberate in creating legacies that matter to you.
