Why does a legacy need an officer?
As Chief Legacy Officer, Sherrie helps people and organizations live legacy worthy lives through The Wisdom Model and its Three Wisdoms: Live Smart, Give Smart, Leave Your Mark. A company appoints officers for what it cannot afford to leave to chance. She treats legacy the same way, as something developed on purpose, decade by decade.
When she isn't working with clients, you'll find her immersed in AI and technology projects, a cup of tea in hand and ready laughter that reflects her joy in living her own legacy, one meaningful day at a time.
What comes next?
Her forthcoming book, Legacy Well Planned, co-authored with financial services veteran Duane Morrow, approaches legacy through masterwork development and enhavim, purpose and mission led by vision.
It includes a chapter on Decade Intelligence, a concept for designing your legacy one decade at a time. Her core belief: every decade holds potential, and every person has the capacity for a legacy worthy life.
