Topics
Living on the Right Side of 40!
For Adult Education
What can we expect physically and emotionally in midlife and older adulthood? Dr. Deborah Heiser is a psychologist with a specialty in how we think and feel as we grow older. She’s a pioneer who debunks the myths about getting older and shows how much we have to look forward to.
Did you know you can expect to be happier as you grow older? Or that fulfillment and productivity are traded for box-checking and superficial connections? We can expect each decade from 40-100 to be years to look forward to rather than shy away from. Research shows that our long lives are filled with opportunities rather than challenges.
Uncoupling Your Identity from Your Business Card
For Corporations, Businesses, and Health
Is your business card your “identity card”? Who are you outside of your title? If you are like many professionals, you’ve worked to create a professional identity. I show you how to find your personal identity beyond your professional identity.
From passion, fulfillment, and productivity, you can find meaning in life outside of your work identity. Meaning in life comes from feeling connected to the world, and building a strong personal identity is key.
The Power of Being a Mentor
For Corporations, Businesses, and Community Centers
We all know the benefit of having a mentor. But do you know the benefits of being a mentor? Research shows that those who mentor benefit physically and emotionally throughout their lifespan.
Deborah Heiser debunks the myths of aging, and how and why we are built to give back. In today’s world, with us living well into our 90s, knowing what we can look forward to, and how giving back can help us pass on our values, skills, and knowledge to the next generation.
Mentoring allows us to leave a legacy, and to keep ourselves living on through others. Examples of mentors who have helped shape the world, from Nobel Laureates to grandmas, provide insight into the power of being a mentor.

World-changing innovation has happened with lateral mentors: friends and colleagues many people didn’t work with directly. They weren’t their boss or two levels higher. They were right next to them. From the network firewall to comedy, chemistry, and business, lateral mentoring has been the most impactful form of mentorship in creating corporate and personal impact.
