In this episode of Truth About Local Government, I sit down with Averil Price author of The Legacy Coach: Your Next Chapter, Your Legacy, Your Way, available on Amazon. After more than two decades as a Local Authority Director, Averil made the bold transition to running her own consultancy, Avie Consultancy, where she helps public sector leaders navigate career changes, promotions, or retirement while celebrating the impact they’ve made.

We explore the inspiration behind her book, including how a life-changing brain haemorrhage shaped its themes, and dive into what “legacy” really means beyond job titles. Averil shares practical tools from her coaching practice such as journaling and mind mapping to help leaders clarify their next chapter and define their legacy on their own terms.

Whether you’re a senior leader planning your future or simply curious about creating a meaningful professional journey, this conversation is packed with insights on purpose, resilience, and reinvention.

Key Takeaways:

• Legacy is about impact and intention, not just roles.
• Practical exercises to help leaders reflect and plan their next chapter.
• Why journaling and mind mapping can unlock clarity and confidence.
