No matter what stage of life we’re in, it’s easy to put aside our goals and dreams as we do the things we “should” – go to school, get a steady job, start a family, save money, retire.
We follow in the footsteps of those before us, waking up years later asking “How did I get here?” instead of blazing our own trail, building a beautiful life of our own design, and becoming a new and better role model for others.
What if we decided to stop playing the extra in our own life movie and chose to be the star?
A research study by the National Library of Medicine found that living authentically and following your dreams helps you live a more meaningful life. Another study by the British Psychological Society found that people regret more of what they didn’t do instead of what they did do in life.
Creating a beautiful life story movie of our own design leads to a life of fulfillment, and then sharing that story helps others create their own beautiful life story movie.
That is the mark of a great leader and role model; one that creates legacies that last.
Ann C.K. Nickell’s talk “Don’t Be an Extra in the Movie of Your Life! Be the Star!” shares real life stories and the steps to become the star in your life story movie, to teach others to do the same, and to leave a legacy for future generations.

How to transform your story and create a fulfilled life story movie that leaves a legacy.
