Building a Legacy: The Power of Collective Achievement | Kirsty James | TEDxNorthwich

In this thought-provoking talk about who and what really builds legacy, Kirsty James questions our focus on individual success over collective achievement and encourages us to harness the power of cooperation and community in legacy-building.
Referencing iconic personalities and historical milestones, Kirsty creatively blends these with current events and personal anecdotes to deliver a compelling appeal for social change and a shift in our behaviour.
We are invited to rethink our relationship with legacy and take small, collective steps to build living legacies, thereby connecting with a more meaningful life purpose.
Kirsty James is a renowned networking and relationship-marketing specialist who lives by the mantra - ‘Connecting with Purpose’.
Wife, mum of three and business owner with a strong sense of social responsibility, Kirsty champions business growth and problem-solves by providing innovative ideas, collaborative learning environments and valuable connections.
She aligns her fierce loyalty to community with her primary values of collaboration and connection to become a determined architect of exciting concepts that support the local economy, enrich the framework of society, and nurture other people's success and wellbeing.
Kirsty has spearheaded several award-winning projects, fundraised thousands for charitable causes, obtained a Prime Minister’s award for her community work, and been praised as a ‘catalyst for change’ due to her ‘strong moral leadership’ and ‘pay-it-forward’ approach. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
