Age is the new strategic imperative.
SPEAKING
Helen Hirsh Spence, speaker, writer, and age-provocateur explains why we must reframe the aging narrative (longevity literacy) and confront ageism.
A well-respected and sought-after thought leader, Helen has appeared on a TEDx stage, and in major national media outlets, on television, radio, and podcasts. Audiences and industries from various sectors will benefit from her talks and workshops on: Longevity Literacy, Age and Ageism, and the Future of Work.
ReSet
ReSet invites readers to rethink what it means to grow older in an era where longevity is becoming the new norm. Drawing on insights from technology, healthcare, and shifting social attitudes, the book explores how 21st-century advances are transforming the experience of ageing.
Rather than framing a longer life as a problem to manage, ReSet presents it as a powerful opportunity—a time of strength, reinvention, and renewed purpose. The book provides practical skills and competencies to guide the reader to reframe aging as a period of creativity, contribution, and intellectual vitality.
