Nurture the Core Currency of Community-Building

Community-building serves as the lifeblood of the Community Mobilizer work. Anticipated broad actions include:

• recognize the need for support 
• understand the strategic aspects of fostering a collaborative and engaged network
• value the tactics to engage the network
• determine the resources - time, effort, money requested and required

Limited Support Network:

Impact: Hindered progress, potential resource constraints, and limited perspectives.

Difficulty Engaging Community:

Importance: Acknowledge challenges in fostering active engagement within the community like:
Impact: Risk of disinterest, lack of involvement, and potential project isolation.

Isolating Project Work:

Importance: Discuss the implications of working on a legacy project in isolation like:
Impact: Diminished collaborative potential, missed opportunities for feedforward, and limited growth.

Questions You Might Ask Yourself and Your Contributors

The Nurturing Of Community Is A Daily Occurrence.

Every day, the Legacy Project Community Mobilizer (you to start, then hire slowly) actively fosters the support network. Through consistent and purposeful engagement, you cultivate a thriving community that breathes life into the legacy project.

Personal Reflection:

• You do not need project management experience - you have some of it, we can fill in the blanks!
• You do not need marketing experience - yet you experience it everyday!
• You do not need considerable financial resources - could be helpful.
  Yet, most projects are about time and effort!

What you require–is being ready, able, and willing

• to clarify your legacy project pathway with confidence and commitment 
• to connect and complete a “section//element of your selected project (beta test)” 
• to confirm a green light to move forward with the whole project

Along the journey as you weave your tapestry, paint your canvas, write in your journal
understanding StoryScope and Legacy are important concepts and practices.

A quick reminder of both follow: 

Understanding the StoryScope

Our lives are stories waiting to be told, narratives that unfold with each passing day.

The metaphor of "StoryScope" invites us to view this narrative through different lenses. Just as telescopes reveal the vastness of the universe, microscopes uncover the intricacies of the microscopic world, stethoscopes listen to our vital sounds of living, our StoryScope allows us to explore and find the full spectrum of our daily existence.

Our daily lives resemble a kaleidoscope, with each decision, action, and interaction contributing to the ever-shifting, meaningful pattern.

As SoloAgers and seasoned professionals, you have a unique perspective on life's twists and turns. Your legacy is not only a reflection of your past-present but a blueprint for the future-present.

Legacy: The Useful Whats

Legacy is often associated with material wealth, but it extends far beyond possessions. Legacy comprises the "useful whats" we leave behind, including our time, effort, and money. These elements are the building blocks and seedbeds of our legacy, and how we allocate, plant them shapes the stories we share.

For Agers, especially SoloAgers (and Olders to Elders), who have accumulated a wealth-wellth of experiences and knowledge, legacy is about passing on wisdom and lessons. Your is about preserving your story as it is about empowering others to write their chapters more skillfully. As professionals and educators, your legacy resides in the work you shared, the values you instilled, and the innovations you sparked.
