Decide Your Legacy was founded in 2012 by Adam Gragg after more than a decade working for nearly 15 years as a family therapist. Over time, Adam noticed a consistent pattern: people could gain insight and feel motivated in the moment, yet still struggle to achieve real, lasting positive change. Too often, progress stopped at awareness, addressing only surface-level issues without confronting the core issues that kept people stuck.
As Adam began working more closely with business leaders and organizations, he observed a striking pattern: many leaders had strong teams, solid ideas, and successful businesses, yet progress would stall at critical moments. What was missing wasn’t intelligence or effort, but an outsider to ask them the right questions, challenge assumptions, uncover what is truly holding them back, encourage bold action, and provide consistent accountability. Personal and professional challenges are inseparable: anxiety, doubt, major life transitions, and leadership decisions inevitably overlap, and addressing them in isolation often delivers only temporary results.
Decide Your Legacy was created to fill this gap. Our company operates on the belief that meaningful change begins with identifying the real obstacles, often hidden beneath the surface, and engaging with them directly. Transformation emerges from this clarity, combined with purposeful action and a commitment to a deliberate, ongoing process that drives lasting change. Clients are not expected to have everything figured out before they begin; progress comes from engaging deeply, taking action even before conditions feel perfect, and staying accountable to the process.
At Decide Your Legacy, we also help clients understand the cost of not acting: lost opportunities, stalled growth, unresolved conflict, and the long-term impact of fear or indecision on both personal and professional life. Success is measured not by temporary fixes but by real, sustainable change, seen when individuals, leaders, and organizations gain clarity, overcome their barriers, and begin living with greater confidence, focus, and intentionality in their daily lives.
Decide Your Legacy exists to walk alongside people, families, and organizations as they align who they are today with the legacy they want to leave.
