Episode 83: Living Your Legacy – The Impact You Leave at Work and Beyond

Episode 83: Living Your Legacy – The Impact You Leave at Work and Beyond

Host: Mary Asante

Guest: Louise Camby, Speaker and Legacy Advocate

What will people remember about the way you worked, led and made them feel?

Legacy is often something we think about at the end of a career or life. But in this episode of HR Voices, Mary Asante is joined by Louise Camby to explore a different perspective: we are creating our legacy every day.

Louise shares the personal story behind preserving the legacy of her grandfather, composer, arranger and conductor Johnny Douglas, whose work included The Railway Children and music for well-known animated television series. Her experience led her to think more deeply about what legacy really means — not only personally, but in our careers, leadership and workplaces.

In this episode, we discuss:

What it means to consciously live your legacy

Why legacy isn’t reserved for famous people or senior leaders

How everyday behaviours and interactions shape how we are remembered

The impact leaders and managers leave on their people

How good leadership can influence someone long after they have left a workplace
