Building Real Legacy

from Chatting with The Experts with Paula Okonneh Hosted by Paula Okonneh

Thelma Young, certified life coach, ordained minister and U.S. Army veteran, frames legacy as decisions guided by the question, "What do I have to leave as a legacy?" Thelma contrasts chronos time (measured days and minutes) with kairos time (memorable moments) and urges intentional living. She presents REAL legacy: investing in Relationships through forgiveness and care, being an Example through daily micro-decisions, living with Authenticity, and building a Legacy that compounds across generations, illustrated through her children and grandchildren. Thelma describes her 3D Life Leadership System—Designed identity, Destined presence, and Determined delivery—and shares a major pivot from being dismissed from law school after illness to earning an MBA with a 4.0, emphasising reclaiming perceived losses. She defines generational wealth as passing on kairos memories, stories, and origins.
