Ep. 79 – The Legacy Leadership Academy

In this special episode of Pillar Talk, Chris Ross pulls back the curtain on the Legacy Leadership Academy—how it started, how it works, and why it’s changing lives. What began as an eight-week turnaround strategy on the road turned into a repeatable playbook, then a book, and finally the Academy: an interactive leadership course that has helped post-acute care professionals lead with purpose, discipline, and heart.

Chris walks you through the structure of the Academy and the transformational journey it offers. You’ll hear how the Academy starts with identifying your personal “burn,” builds a foundation using Legacy’s four Pillars of Performance (People, Product, Process, and Plan), and walks you through key traits of effective leadership—including empathy, accountability, and communication.

Whether you’re thinking about joining the summer session, applying for the fall, or just curious about what makes this program stand out, this episode delivers a powerful overview of what’s possible when you invest in yourself—and your team.
