UP TO 5 MINUTES OF EXCERPTS (Stop Anytime)
Chris has spoken to lots of Executive and Professional groups, Fitness Organizations, YPO’s (a favorite of his), Clubs and other Community Organizations.
Chri's talks convey the essence of the books, with all the passion, eloquence and humor that have made them national best sellers. He is especially popular among executives and professionals in their forties and fifties who are just noticing the aging process and are not loving it. His talks are optimistic, motivational and funny.
Crowley talks to groups of corporate executives, professional associations, clubs and fitness organizations. Talks typically last 45 minutes to an hour, with time for questions afterward, according to the interests of the group. The talks typically cover the fundamental science that is the basis for the Revolution in Aging and go on to discuss the basic things that people need to do to join the Revolution. There is amusing (and un-scary) advise about physical exercise (heavy on the underlying reason that different kinds of exercise makes sense ... how it works on the inside).
That's usually followed by talk about the social side of the Next Third and advice about putting in place programs and activities that can make retirement (or moving into a new kind of "work") fun and interesting, instead of the weird combination of terrifying and dull we all worry about. There's some useful talk about your "limbic" or emotional brain (you have one and it has remarkable and surprising control over your life and health). And then some talk about the importance of "connection and commitment" in the Next Third. There is usually an encouraging word on diet and drink.
Talks can be tailored, according to the age and interests of the audience. The core message makes sense and is hugely important for every one from the age of forty on ... maybe from the age of thirty on. But the emphasis is different for, say, a group of middle managers, as opposed to a group of federal judges on the edge of retirement. (Both such groups have been addressed.) For audiences who are, for the most part, far from retirement, the emphasis in on physical and emotional fitness as a foundation for a more effective professional (and personal) life. For older audiences, the emphasis is more squarely on questions of aging, retirement and the creation of a parallel life, before retirement, to set the stage for profound changes to come.
