Breadcrumb Legacy

Review
I love this book. It's a powerful reminder that one's legacy isn't something left at the end of one's days. It's left every day in little ways. The sum of all those little things is how we're remembered and how we contribute. Jann Freed's Breadcrumb Legacy is chock full of meaningful insights, sage advice, provocative questions, and engaging
stories. It's also great fun to read...the kind of book where you can turn to almost any page and find something meaningful and memorable. I highly recommend it to everyone interested in leading a life that makes a difference to self and others.

"Jann Freed has devoted her life to helping people live with meaning. Her book Breadcrumb Legacy can help you leave a trail of daily meaning that will make you proud."
—Mark Levy, Founder, Levy Innovation LLC
"We talk a lot about legacy these days, but usually later in life. Jann Freed advocates instead that we think of legacy as the impact we have as a result of daily small actions—breadcrumbs. Adopting this frame can make us better people and more effective leaders. I believe Jann's book will have a long shelf life because it can change how you live your life every day."
—Sally Helgesen, author of How Women Rise, The Female Advantage, and The Web of Inclusion
"My mission is to help successful people achieve positive, lasting behavioral change; for themselves, their people, and their teams. My goal is to help them make their lives a little better! Jann's book, Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering, has really spoken to me as a chance to be thinking about how my positive influence will outlive me. Not only does Jann show readers how 'legacy thinking' can be used as a driving force for daily life, but also how legacy happens in 'crumbs' that accumulate over time. I highly recommend this book and believe in the lasting impact it can have on your life!"

"There are numerous books about leadership and living a quality life. But Jann Freed's Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering integrates these concepts in ways that will help people of all ages live fully and well. She addresses critical topics that are too often ignored: death, relationships, purpose and meaning, the shadow side of the ego. She offers practical exercises to help you live your best life at home and at work. Breadcrumb Legacy shows how to leave a legacy by living a life that matters, now and into the future."
—Parker J. Palmer, author of Let Your Life Speak, The Courage to Teach, and On the Brink of Everything
"Leadership in the world of business today isn't just about business: it's about the pursuit of harmony among the different parts of life in a way that brings others along with you toward your vision of a better tomorrow. Jann Freed's Breadcrumb Legacy has essential ingredients for realizing this aspiration, at any stage of life. Through research, interviews, and personal stories, Jann shows how to cultivate a meaningful legacy by living a life worth remembering every day."
—Stew Friedman, author of Total Leadership and Professor of Management Practice Emeritus, The Wharton School
"Servant leaders should be thinking about how their words and actions affect others. Leaders who truly serve and empower others live a life worth remembering. Jann's concept of viewing legacy—moment by moment—on a daily basis as a way to guide how we act, say, and do is a great contribution. We live and leave our legacy now not later. The sooner we understand this, the better."
—Howard Behar, Former president of Starbucks Coffee Company and author of It's Not About The Coffee: Leadership Principles from a Life at Starbucks.
