SERIES FINALE "Too young, too likely to get pregnant, too old". Series 3, Episode 8. Sophy Norris in conversation with Annie Coleman, Ambassador Stanford Centre on Longevity
Description
In our Series Finale, Sophy Norris speaks to Annie Coleman, an Ambassador for Stanford University’s Center on Longevity, whose mission is to accelerate and implement scientific discoveries, technological advances, behavioural practices, and social norms so that century-long lives are healthy and rewarding. Annie also runs her own business, RealiseLongevity, and is a sought-after speaker and published writer on longevity, the future of work and organisational culture.
In this Episode, we unpack what longevity means and the reality of ageism in a population living longer and more actively than ever before. This brings with it huge challenges, but also incredible opportunities (indeed, a $15 trillion one). Some of the areas we discuss include:
- The 100-year lifespan, and living a third of our lives post-60
- Women can take career breaks and get back on it
- Why we should stop thinking about generational differences, and focus more on stages of life
- The power of intergenerational project teams, as this is where the magic happens
- The importance of reverse mentoring and the need for a new kind of leadership
- Why women are never the right age, and are more affected by ageism
- Why COVID was a 'she-session' and not a recession
- Taking responsibility for our financial future
- Women don't need to be invisible
- Reframing ageing
- Why not having a longevity strategy means you don't have a growth strategy
- The (massive) missed marketing opportunity of ignoring women over 55
- Why we need to retire the word retirement
- The power of physical and mental challenges in building long-term resilience
- Sharing what leaders need to hear, and not what they want to hear
- Find out who "didn't just break the glass ceiling but wore the crown"
