Some of the key takeaways from the document include recognizing the importance of context, understanding different types of legacy futures, and learning a model for personal mastery.

According to the document, context is very powerful and influential as it appears unchangeable and is lived as true. However, the document also emphasizes that context is not fixed and choosing awareness can alter context.

The document discusses two types of legacy futures - a past-based legacy future which is predictable based on past decisions, and a created legacy future which calls one to fulfill their potential and take on problems worthy of their life.

Objectives:
Recognize the making of legacy futures
Understand the link between context and action
Learn a model for Personal Mastery

The Facts:

80% of what we see is sourced by


already existing patterns in the brain

People don’t listen to what you say….


They listen to what they say to themselves
about what you say!

POWER OF CONTEXT…
…Is decisive
…Appears unchangeable
…Is lived as true
…Pervasive, not considered

SELF AWARE
Be Curious:
What is it I’m not seeing?
How could I see this differently?
How can I grow from this?
What is the opportunity for me?

“Choice is a function of awareness!”

Distinguish Already Existing:


What is already in your space about:
 Difficult conversations?
 Legacy futures?
 Personal mastery?
What do you already know?
Notice what you are already telling yourself about…
What are you taking for granted?
What are the assumptions, conclusions and decisions already made about…

Already Existing -- Known

Already Existing -- Unknown or Unseen

Create a Context:
Be a full partner in producing value for yourself
Go on the hunt to discover what is existing and hidden
 Keep asking yourself “What else?”
Be willing to explore your context (assumptions, beliefs, views, mindsets)
Get on the court
 Bring your life to our conversation
Beginners mind - Fresh - New

Anything handed down from the past, as from


an ancestor or predecessor
A gift of property, especially personal property,
as money, by will; a bequest

Legacy Future -- Currently Past-Based

Future driven by something:


 That happened
 That didn’t happen
 Is wrong
 That needs fixing
Default future based on past decisions
Predictable trajectory based on present conditions
Lived into by the person you wound up being

Alter Context
Access to a new future….NOW!
Calls a person to be….NOW!
Take new actions correlate to the new future….NOW

Legacy Future -- Created

A future that wasn’t going to happen


Calls you to be bigger than you know yourself to be
Fulfills on what really matters to you
Gives you problems worthy of your life
