I can honestly say \u2013 I had no idea what to do with the crown if that had given it to me! Today, I\u2019m gonna teach you what to do with the crown when you win.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Pageant Platform: Your Legacy Project is Your Winning Ticket to the Crown (Episode 23)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kgSz9wYRsiQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>You may be surprised how many contestants on any given stage have no clue what they would do if they won. They think it\u2019s like becoming a fairytale princess, marrying the king, and \u2026.then what?<\/p>\n<p>My job as a pageant coach is to see the qualities, values, strengths, and goals of my clients and then help them to create a Legacy that will reach far beyond their one year of service and instead will be valued for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>You can imagine how difficult that must be.<\/p>\n<p>It is. But, I\u2019ve been doing it for years so I have a few tricks that I can teach you.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, <strong>legacy <\/strong>refers to a product or project, which is based on your personal brand, that requires you to set it up yet will last far beyond your year of service. It is also a question that makes many contestants nervous, because it seems so large, but vision is what separates winners from beautiful pageant contestants.<\/p>\n<p>When I first started competing, I was like many of my clients who believe that pageants are won on looks. And that\u2019s because the majority of what is seen is the on-stage portion. The audience doesn\u2019t see all the work that the pageant winners put in prior to their winning. The work is done behind the scenes, many months prior to the pageant, but the audience only sees the on-stage question. It\u2019s really a shame, because women then enter pageants without a legacy project, and they really have no chance of competing against a woman who has had proper guidance toward an impressive Legacy Project.<\/p>\n<p>A common on-stage question is \u201cIf you win this title, what legacy will you leave behind?\u201d And, if you were to take just 2 seconds to think about this right now, I know I can guess what you\u2019re going to say.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if you were to attend a pageant where each girl gets some version of this question on-stage like:<\/p>\n<p><strong data-rich-text-format-boundary=\"true\"> + What will your legacy be?<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/>+ How will you be remembered?<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/>+ What do you plan to do during your year?<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/>+ What makes you different from other contestants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And everyone says that same old answer about how nice they are and how excited they\u2019ll be and how many appearances they\u2019ll do.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be some version of this, \u201cI want to be remembered as a kind titleholder. Even if I only touch one life, I will consider my reign a success because every individual counts. I\u2019m very friendly and kind and I will be so sweet to everyone at appearances and\u2026blah, blah, blah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you are an easy talker and not nervous than this answer can still come off poised and lovely\u2026. it\u2019s just that when one of my clients walks onto the stage and has a wham-bam answer that speaks to her Legacy Project, she blows the competition out of the water with something like:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an advocate for children\u2019s exercise, I recently published a fitness dvd for children. It\u2019s currently available on Amazon and paid YouTube \u2013 the proceeds go to our partner, The American Heart Association. As Miss Titleholder, I\u2019ll work with the administrators of the national public library system and the AHA to distribute the dvds to libraries and school. I want every child to love fitness with a passion \u2013 I can\u2019t wait to leave a legacy of health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I mean, as a judge, how can you not give this girl the crown?! You\u2019d be crazy \u2013 she\u2019s the only one with a concrete plan, connections, a project already in the works\u2026she\u2019s clearly ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, she will be poised because she\u2019s not nervous. She\u2019s confident because she\u2019s been thoughtful in preparing this and working with this project. She knows her stuff!<\/p>\n<p><strong data-rich-text-format-boundary=\"true\">This is why you need a legacy project!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because if you are competing in a competitive pageant, all the girls will be gorgeous, with an amazing wardrobe, great hair, lovely nails\u2026.but, this is not what wins.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #b74ad1;\">What wins is the women who is able to accurately communicate how you are able to combine your personal passions with your strengths to develop a unique product or project that supports a greater cause.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not, just how nice you are (though, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re very nice).<\/p>\n<p>Your Legacy project has to be something that can exist outside of you as the titleholder. And, the pageant can continue to get props for your work even after you give up your title. It\u2019s a win-win-win for every party involved.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the process I use when I work with my clients. If you have someone you can work on this with, it will help dramatically. So, call your mom, ask a friend over to brainstorm, or get in touch with your coach.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>There are 3 steps:<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #b74ad1;\">1 \u2013 Self Study<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Your first step is to understand who you are: your strengths, core values, passions, skills, education \u2013 all of who you are. I\u00a0offer these guidesheets in my new course &#8220;Pageant interview Game Plan. Your legacy project should be a part of your overall interview and personal development strategy.
