35. How Are You Creating Lasting Impact?

What if the constant firefighting and crisis management that fills our days is actually stealing our chance to create something truly meaningful? 

And what if the most important work we can do isn't about solving the next problem, but about building something that lasts well beyond our time here?

This episode explores how we can shift from reactive mode to creating lasting impact. Drawing from fresh insights gathered during 10 weeks of travel across five countries, Digby shares three powerful examples of enduring legacy: 3,500-year-old Bronze Age buildings in Sardinia that still stand strong, Royal Designers whose creations continue to enrich our lives decades later, and a volunteer marine rescue service that's been saving lives for over four decades.

You'll discover why our modern culture of constant change and precious time traps us in reactive patterns, how to lift your head above the daily fires to focus on what truly matters over the long term, and practical ways to start building your own lasting impact today. Whether you're leading a team, running an organisation, or simply seeking to create something meaningful, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about the legacy you're creating.

This episode marks the beginning of a deeper exploration into what it takes to lead lasting impact and offers a glimpse into new services designed to help senior leaders focus on creating enduring change.

You’ll explore:

• Travel as a catalyst for fresh perspectives
• Three examples of lasting impact: buildings, design, and service
• Why reactive mode steals our chance for lasting impact
• Questions to consider for your own lasting legacy
