AI is appearing in hiring conversations, leadership meetings, and everyday workflows, whether you’re ready for it or not. The professionals gaining ground aren’t necessarily the most technical ones. They’re the ones who understand what AI can do, know which tools are worth their time, and have figured out how to put it to work for them.
This 90-minute working session is for professionals ready to move from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat. You’ll walk away with a clear, practical understanding of the tools and strategies most relevant to where you are right now.

Space is limited. This is a working session, not a lecture.
As longer lives become the norm, many of us are still living by outdated assumptions about what aging means—and what it allows.
In this highly interactive conversation marking the publication of ReSet: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life, co-author Helen Hirsh Spence invites us to confront a powerful—and uncomfortable—idea: that ageism, especially the kind we internalize, has quietly limited our choices, shaped our decisions, and continues to diminish what we believe is possible.
This is not a traditional book talk. Instead, we’ll explore a provocative question together:
What would your life look like today if ageism had never shaped your path?
Through a candid opening perspective from Helen followed by guided reflection, we’ll surface the real cost of outdated narratives about aging—and examine what it would take to replace them.
You’ll be invited to share your insights and perspectives, and to consider both the personal and societal implications of a world where aging is recognized as a source of strength, capability, and contribution.
We’ll close with a clear call to action—practical ways each of us can begin to ReSet our own assumptions, challenge age bias in the workplace and beyond, and help shape a new narrative of aging.
If you’re ready to move beyond inspiration and into action, this conversation is for you.
Many adults over 50 unknowingly limit their potential due to internalized agism and outdated beliefs about what aging looks like. In this Coffee Chat, Erin Eleu, functional aging specialist, challenges those beliefs and replace them with empowering, research-backed perspectives on growth, capability, and continued improvement as we age.
In a recent article published in Generations, the journal of the American Society on Aging, Erin and her colleagues advocate for exercise and movement based on Ability, Not Age. She works with organizations and professionals to change assumptions about what older adults can do and promote ability-based options.
Erin is creator and host of the AGEnts of Movement podcast, which celebrates the leaders and everyday changemakers redefining aging through movement, connection, and purpose.
