Meta Description: Dien Luu’s Legacy Chapters is helping people worldwide build their legacy one story at a time through Life Coach University.
Dien is the founder of Life Coach University (LCU), a global coaching initiative with an open-source model. It welcomes educators and coaches from around the world to share talks, workshops, and life tools for free.
At LCU, you’re encouraged to pay it forward. Buy a coffee for someone behind you, smile at a stranger, or help someone carry groceries. Your access to powerful knowledge comes with a simple request: pass on the good.
Introducing “Legacy Chapters”: Everyone Has a Story Worth Sharing
LCU recently launched a new initiative called Legacy Chapters. This project is about collecting and celebrating personal wisdom.
“Legacy Chapters celebrates an individual and their knowledge. I believe that everyone, regardless of age, education, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and socioeconomic status, has a chapter within them worth sharing,” says Dien Luu. “We’re here to gather these chapters and celebrate the unique legacy of every person.”
This initiative aims to elevate ordinary voices. With Chapters Publishing House launched on campus as a commitment to collect and share everyone’s chapter and to distribute them all over the world, LCU is helping these stories travel far and wide. It’s showing that these stories can matter.
What Makes Life Coach University Different?
It’s too limiting to call Life Coach University a ‘university.’ The phrase ‘worldwide giving movement’ might be a better fit for its mission.
Here’s how it works:
Free access to global coaching content: A world of free resources.
Coaches from all over the world contribute: From marriage advice to mindset training, it’s all shared out of goodwill.
Pay It Forward system: You “pay” by doing something good for someone else.
Examples from the LCU community include:
- Writing five handwritten letters of encouragement.
- Sending daily “thinking of you” cards and messages.
- Donating winter boots to a homeless man after a life-changing conversation.
One participant summed it up perfectly:
“For a moment, the pandemic was forgotten and replaced with an epidemic of ‘paying it forward’ in the community I live in.”
Legacy in Action: A New Partnership
To expand the impact of Legacy Chapters, LCU has partnered with Legacy of Growth, led by Liz Cresci, Certified NLP Trainer and Master Practitioner. She coaches people through the process of accomplishing present goals and making new ones.
“Legacy is not just what we leave behind—it’s how we show up every day. It’s in the words we speak to our children, the conversations we have with our partner, the way we lead, and the kindness we extend to a stranger. At Legacy of Growth, we believe that personal growth is a significant part of legacy. When we commit to becoming better versions of ourselves, we naturally uplift those around us. That ripple effect—that daily impact—is what drives me. Helping others grow is my passion; it’s my way of contributing to a world where people live their legacy.”
Through her company, Legacy of Growth, Liz helps people see challenges differently, find their footing when life feels uncertain, and keep moving toward the future they want. Her work creates shifts that ripple outward—impacting families, workplaces, and communities—because when one person grows, everyone around them may benefit.
Why the Legacy Chapters Movement Matters
People are tired of superficial inspiration. They want something real. They want their voices to be heard and valued.
This is why Legacy Chapters connects:
Because it’s for everyone:
You don’t need to be a bestselling author to write a meaningful chapter.
Your “chapter” could be an act of kindness, a hard lesson, or a message for the next generation.
Because it creates a chain of growth:
Your story helps someone.
That person grows and may pay it forward to help others.
Summary
Legacy isn’t built in big speeches or grand gestures. It’s built when a teenager hammers nails into a neighbor’s fence. When someone gives away boots to a man without any. When a stranger chooses kindness over silence.
Dien Luu and Life Coach University are helping redefine how we view legacy, and inviting the world to consider contributing.
So what’s your chapter?
