Talks

Don’t be remembered for your bad hair days.
Create a legacy of belonging.

Learn how to create powerful family connections, meaningful traditions, and a sense
of belonging no matter how old your kids may be. Don’t let them grow up telling stories
about your bad hair or other embarrassing or annoying quirks. Instead, begin creating the
foundation for how you will be remembered and celebrated right now. Protect your
children from drifting away from the family and struggling as individuals. Get fresh ideas
for creating the loving bonds that are proven to help you to live a longer, more fulfilled and
connected life.

Arielle Nóbile founder of Legacy Connections Films is available to speak in 30, 60
and 90‐minute time slots free of charge for organizations on the Front Range. Some of the
places she has spoken include Northwestern University and the Association of Personal
Historians Annual Conference. More references available upon request. For more
