TEDxMSJC 2024 - Legacy

What is a legacy? How do you create one? And does it really involve chaos? Roger Schultz, Ph.D., started out life as the son of blue-collar workers and today serves as the superintendent/president of Mt. San Jacinto College, one of the fastest-growing community colleges in California. In this talk, Dr. Schultz - or Roger, as he prefers to be called -- shares how a decision by his grandfather, his gig as a DJ, and some chaos helped him create a legacy that transforms the lives of thousands of students, their families, and employees and provides tips on how you can create a legacy of your own. Hint: Don't wait - start planning now!

"Silence the Saboteurs" is about quieting those internal thoughts that destroy dreams: doubts, fears, limiting beliefs, and inner critics.  In the Ted talk, Dr. Suzanne Uhl refers to these thoughts as 'legacy thieves' because they steal dreams and personal potential.  Drawing on her own personal struggles, decades of experience helping others fight fear, and research in both psychology and neuroscience, Dr. Uhl provides practical hope about overcoming this common obstacle to our goals.  She argues that pursuing victory in this area has the power to unlock your potential and that YOU ARE WORTH THE EFFORT.
