Who can be a Masterwork Maker?

A high-achiever, leader, entrepreneur, mentor, innovator, creative, or community builder. The common thread is not the medium they choose, but the meaning and value they infuse into it.

Who Is This For?

Your work has evolved and expanded beyond its original scope and you are ready to realign with your deeper purpose.
You want to connect with like-minded individuals navigating their own transitions without the pressure of a big group or program.

Why Masterwork Maker?

A Masterwork Maker is anyone ready to shape the next stage of life with purpose, creativity, and impact. You might be stepping out of a career, reshaping your livelihood, or directing your energy toward something that matters deeply to you. What you’ve done before matters, but who you are becoming matters even more.

Core Self (Always There)

A Masterwork Maker draws from an inner foundation that never disappears with a job title.

Values: fairness, curiosity, kindness, discipline, humor, etc.
Personality strengths: patience, problem-solving, empathy, creativity.
Life story: the experiences and lessons that shaped you.

Question to ask: “What qualities define me even if no one knew what I used to do for a living?”

Skills & Knowledge (Portable Assets)

A Masterwork Maker repurposes expertise from past work and life experience into fresh, meaningful applications.

Professional skills: communication, leadership, craftsmanship, technical know-how.
Life skills: budgeting, organizing, caregiving, mentoring.
Transfer opportunities: teaching workshops, consulting, community projects, personal hobbies.

Question to ask: “How can I apply my existing skills to something fresh or meaningful?”

New & Evolving Roles

A Masterwork Maker sees career change or retirement not as an ending, but as an invitation to add new roles that inspire.

Family roles: grandparent, elder sibling, family historian, caregiver.
Community roles: volunteer, activist, mentor, board member.
Personal roles: artist, gardener, traveler, student, storyteller.

Question to ask: “What new roles excite me enough to shape my days?”

Enhavim, Purpose & Joy

A Masterwork Maker anchors life in causes, joys, and deeper meaning that go beyond livelihood.

Causes that matter to you: environment, literacy, animal rescue, local heritage.
Sources of joy: nature walks, music, crafts, cooking, deep conversations.
Spiritual/reflective life: meditation, faith practices, philosophical inquiry.

Question to ask: “What do I want my time and energy to serve now?”

The Integrated Self

When these elements connect, a Masterwork Maker has a post-livelihood identity that is:

Resilient (not dependent on one role)
Flexible (adapts to life changes)
Purposeful (aligned with values)
Joy-anchored (not just “busy” but truly fulfilled)

What Is Masterwork?

Masterwork is the meaningful contribution that emerges from your values, convictions, and experiences. The word Masterwork was redefined by Sherrie Rose (Chief Legacy Officer and Masterwork Advisor) as a unique concept that exists at the intersection of livelihood and legacy. It combines what you deeply care about with what you know by blending purpose with your expertise that is part of enhavim.

Your Masterwork is not always grand or public. Sometimes, it’s quiet. It might start with a journal entry, a heartfelt conversation, or an idea that resurfaces repeatedly. Masterwork becomes clearer as you pay attention to the thoughts, projects, or relationships that don’t fade, no matter how much time passes. It asks something of you and, in return, gives something back.

For some, Masterwork manifests through a business, a book, or a creative endeavor. For others, it may take the form of mentorship, community service, or fostering healing relationships. Masterwork is not confined to any single format because it’s about meaningful engagement, authentic effort, and deep connections, your relationship riches.

This pursuit reflects the spirit of the wholeness of 360 and through this lens 360 Conversations were created: confidential, collaborative sessions designed to help you explore where you stand in that full circle. These conversations guide you to uncover what is complete, what requires your attention, and what is ready to emerge next, helping you align your Masterwork with both your livelihood and legacy.

By engaging in 360 Conversations, you gain clarity and connection that empower you to move confidently into the next chapter of your meaningful contribution.

Note: If you look up Masterwork on Merriam-Webster.com or CollinsDictionary.com you’ll find it stared in the early 1700's and is defined as a masterpiece, a person's greatest piece of work, a classic, a showpiece, a magnum opus, a chef d’oeuvre, a masterstroke, a success, a treasure, a gem, a blockbuster, a tour de force, a megahit, a winner, a prize, a jewel, or a body of work. Each word encompasses the Masterwork meaning Sherrie Rose defines and reflects your Masterwork as the best of what you have to offer, and it is definitely worth creating.
