Water from Heaven

October 12, 2019 by Jeff Rubin

“The biggest mistake we can make is seeing aging as a problem.”  –Martin Seychell, Deputy Director General for Health of the European Commission

This was one of many salient comments, observations, and insights discussed at the first-ever Global Silver Economy Forum held in Helsinki, Finland this past July. The two-day conference brought together over 4500 participants from 50 countries, many major dignitaries and leaders.

“Aging is not strictly about old people; it’s about all people. Aging knows no borders, no laws, no government system, no religion, and no economic system. Aging unites us.”  – Jeff Huber, President and CEO of Home Instead Senior Care

The Global Silver Economy Forum concluded with a commitment to six major quality of life initiatives:

  • Act now: align with supportive allies
  • Co-create: products, services, urban planning
  • Say No to Ageism: local community action  
  • Focus on Prevention: well-being, and functional ability
  • Re-imagine Finances: source tools for longer lives
  • Workplace change: recognize the value of demographic shifts

That’s why everything I do is committed to expanding local community dialogue, equipping others with resources for success, and supporting businesses aware of the longevity economy opportunities. I teach on this in my upcoming webinars so that you can affect real and positive changes in your life, in your community, and in your world.  

My webinars are designed with the intent to provide you four important things:

  • Insight into societal issues and views as seen through the lens of ageism
  • Opportunity – to reach a largely untapped, ignored, and undervalued niche market of potential customers, clients, residents, patients, and other referrals
  • Engagement – in new ways of thinking about aging and the possibilities they represent
  • Empowerment – to position you as a thought leader in promoting and inspiring positive aging within your community
