Vince Reardon is a professional speaker, leadership trainer and author of Legacy: Passing on Cherished Values in a Values-Starved World. He challenged the group with the question, “How would you like to be remembered?”. After losing his job as a corporate communications expert in the biotech industry, his father’s death, and experiencing the effects of a sharp market downturn, he began to reflect on how to live a meaningful life. Vince researched other individuals’ lives to unfolded stories of courage, compassion and vision. The result is to encourage others to live and create intentional value based legacies that are imperishable.
