Month 12 · Lead Leaders
Pass the Flame
Translate transformation into testimony, commission others, and choose the next horizon of formation.
Capacity being formed
Legacy & Commissioning
Turn testimony into responsibility and intentionally pass strength to the next generation.
Evidence of formation
The participant commissions at least one person with real responsibility and completes a reassessment with documented evidence of change.
Signorelli wisdom
“You have the potential to start a new legacy. It begins with you.”
Freedom becomes legacy when it is transferred.
Your breakthrough is not finished when it changes you. We will turn the lesson into testimony, responsibility, blessing, and a courageous next act for someone else.
Biblical anchor · ESV
“One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.”
Your discovery tool
Legacy Letter + Commissioning
Write a Legacy Letter: what I received, what I refused to repeat, what changed, what I now entrust, and the blessing I speak over those who follow.
Received
Name people, truths, strengths, and mercies you received. Be concrete.
Refused + changed
Name the cycle you refused and the evidence that your response changed.
Entrust
Name the person, identity, capacity, and real responsibility you are ready to entrust.
Commission
Write affirmation, responsibility, guardrails, support, first courageous act, and review date.
Your session journey
One discovery. One rehearsal. One covenant.
You never have to perform for your coach. Bring one real situation and stay close to what is true, usable, and within your responsibility.
0–7
Arrive
Rate present intensity 0–10; name one desired outcome.
7–15
Witness
Name what changed, what helped, and what remains difficult.
15–25
Language
Underline one phrase; explain it in your own words; choose the phrase you need today.
25–45
Legacy Letter + Commissioning
Write concise answers for all four fields using one current, concrete situation.
45–57
Locate
Name the governing story, protection, motive, expectation, or system and the cost it creates.
57–70
Rehearse
Practice the new response out loud; receive feedback; repeat until the first step is clear and natural.
70–82
Prescribe
Select the practice, calendar it, and identify the witness or environmental support.
82–90
Covenant
State one commitment, one witness, one due date, and one piece of evidence. Rate confidence 0–10; shrink the plan if below 7.
Why the practice can work
Why structured reflection can help
An early controlled study found that writing about both facts and emotions surrounding a difficult event was linked with short-term discomfort and fewer later health-center visits. SLS keeps reflection bounded, voluntary, and oriented toward present responsibility.

Thirty-day prescription
Practice until it becomes available under pressure.
This month
Host the commissioning conversation and transfer the agreed responsibility.
Evidence: Date, responsibility, authority, support, and first act.
End of month
Retake the CT Scan and compare baseline with current evidence.
Evidence: Score movement, three verified changes, one unfinished edge, and next formation horizon.
Care + scope boundary
Testimony should honor privacy and truth. Obtain consent before sharing another person’s story, and never promise outcomes that have not been demonstrated.
Monthly evidence review
Measure formation in real life.
Private reflection
What can now be inherited because you chose to change?
