Thank you, @Yolande_MT. I've learned a gentler yet effective approach to leadership and management through your example. (I don't want to 😭 so I'll stop here... ) I've appreciated this experience with @Mind_Tools. #MTtalk

Q10 What would you like your legacy story to be? #MTtalk

[Mindtools @Mind_Tools]

With legacy thinking, you "start with the end in mind." You identify the long-term impact that you'd like to make, and then assess the changes that you need to put into place to reach that point. https://t.co/HL5EUKr1MB

The #mttalk chat may be ending, but our collective story continues. Grateful to be writing it with you all.

[Midgie Thompson @Midgie_MT]

Certainly sharing stories to process grief is a healthy thing to do. When someone would rather avoid any mention or story about the person who has passed, it is not the greatest thing for processing the grief. #MTtalk

[Mike Barzacchini @MikeB_MT]

A9 Stories keep those I've lost and experiences past alive in my head and heart. Story is essential to celebration and to surviving grief. #MTtalk

[Mindtools @Mind_Tools]

Q9 How do you celebrate an ending yet recognize sadness/grief too? #MTtalk

Q8 This is the last ever #MTtalk. What’s the most important element of your (hi)story with this chat? #MTtalk

[Sonia D Harris @harrisonia]

A8) The most important element of my (hi)story with this #MTtalk chat is embracing that I will learn something while hopefully sharing some of my knowledge with others.

[Midgie Thompson @Midgie_MT]

Love that idea of a 'storycoaxer'. I recently was doing some coaching with students helping them with developing their personal pitch and it was all about storytelling! It was a great experience to help them recognize the value in the stories they could share. #MTtalk
