The Position

Design Your Legacy.
Steward the Future.

We live in a world driven by stories. Companies invest 10% or more of their revenue in telling their story because they know story is power. Yet, individuals typically invest less than 1% in telling their own.

At Perpetual Partners, we invite you to reclaim authorship. To live a story that reflects what you have done and, more importantly, who you have become. Your story is not just personal; it is planetary. And it has power. We believe personal stories can make history.

What we do now
echoes in eternity.MARCUS AURELIUS

The Problem

A Critical Moment
for Humanity

We are standing at a historical inflection point. The largest wealth transfer in history will take place over the next 25 years, more than €68 trillion will change hands. At the same time, we face climate emergency, social fragmentation, biodiversity collapse, and technological acceleration beyond comprehension.

The choices we make now will ripple for generations. More than ever being a good global citizen & caring ancestor, matters. Yet traditional philanthropy is no longer sufficient. Giving today is often fragmented and reactive.

The Problem

A Critical Moment
for Humanity

We believe in the intentional alignment of your unique identity, passions, and resources into a story that builds lasting, transformative impact. Identity, resources, and the needs of the world must align to create true, sustainable impact.

In our experience, when someone asks ‘How do I impact the world?’ It is answered by aligning their identity to impact. It is about their uniqueness applied to the world’s needs. Identity is needed for impact.

The Problem

ALIGNMENT WITH
WHO YOU ARE
THE LEGACY MATRIX
YOUR GOLDEN
THREAD STARTS
HERE
ALIGNMENT WITH WHAT
THE WORLD NEEDS

It is your uniqueness that
makes the greatest impact:
Who you are, where you are,
what you will do.

The Promise

The Cost of Disconnection.
The Gift of Alignment.

When who we are is disconnected from what we do, our impact scatters. We burn out, buy in, or bow out. However when identity and action align, something remarkable happens — our presence becomes magnetic. Our efforts become meaningful. Our legacy becomes inevitable.

Legacy Design® is the intentional fusion of your identity, passions, and resources into a single, elegant narrative. One that reflects your past and generates new futures —your story becomes your greatest asset.

Legacy is about who you are, not just what you do.

The Promise

WHEN YOUR IDENTITY IS ALIGNED WITH
ACTION YOU BECOME A CATALYST FOR
THOSE AROUND YOU, IN WIDENING AND
WIDENING CIRCLES.

Impact is what the world
knows you have done.
Legacy is what you know you
have given to the world.

The Process

The Legacy Design® Journey

Legacy Design® is highly confidential research-led process that unfolds in three phases.

First, a deep inquiry to uncover your authentic identity, passions, and emerging purpose. Here, we reflect, inquire, and reconnect with the core of your identity — the place from which all meaningful action flows.

Next, together we craft a coherent, compelling narrative and strategy aligned with your essence. Which explores the potential of your resources—whether financial, relational, or creative—to serve a greater whole.

Finally, we move into action, designing initiatives, expressions, and ecosystems that reflect your newly clarified legacy. This is the translation of your identity into aligned, tangible actions.
