28 - Accountability for Your Legacy
“So what got you into this work, Jen?”
It’s a question I’ve been asked repeatedly over the past two weeks - during a radio interview, a presentation to 50 wealth-management clients, and while launching two new succession planning programmes. The curiosity is telling.
