254 How Action and Kindness Shape Our Legacy
A single act of kindness can shape one’s life, whether it be a kindness you give or one you receive, but it is only when we choose to act due to that kindness do we truly begin to understand ourselves and the gravity of our place in life.
In this episode Sarah Elkins brings Chason Forehand into a discussion that centers around deciding to act and doing so with kindness and grace, to leave a legacy that consists of building bridges and helping hands.

Quotes
“You put your hand up and you take the ownness for all your mistakes.”
“How do I want the world to look, and how do I want to spend the last portion of my life? What do I want to do with the last portion of my life, and how do I want to make an impact?”
“You do the things you do because you love doing them and you have crazy faith, goals that you’re going to empower people, and you’re going to find that joy in what you’re doing because you love what you’re doing and you see the value of sharing it.”

About Sarah
"Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."
In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.
My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.
The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!
Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.
