Jeanie McKay, professional speaker, author, facilitator, and coach, presents a positive view of aging. She considers middle-age an “Age of Adult Renaissance.” That perspective is grounded in her own life experience, her strong education in cognitive health, and her professional background in adult development. “Most everyone is versed in the development of childhood into mid-adulthood,” she says. “But too few people think of the abundant developmental opportunities awaiting older adults. Until recent times, people lived only two percent of their lives as older adults. Now we’re living twenty-six percent of our lifetimes as older adults!” Jeanie passionately tells audiences, “It’s important to model your life after oak trees, after all…their most productive years begin at 50!”
Why audiences are excited to hear Jeanie McKay speak…
People rave about Jeanie’s hope-filled, inspiring presentations because of the knowledge she shares, her authenticity, and her amazing presentation style. Jeanie also serves as a great role model for anyone who wants to rock their 50s and beyond. She lives a healthy, vibrant “Never Say Whoa!” kind of life. When someone asks her age, she proudly boasts that she’s 67. “But who’s countin’?” she inquires with her big Texas-woman smile and slight drawl.
Jeanie’s presentations combine the science of the brain with the art of being human. Her knowledge of the brain’s anatomy, neurotransmitters, and the “emotional brain” is amazing and relevant. Somehow Jeanie always delivers complex scientific information and research in a down-to-earth, easy-to-understand way that audiences enjoy. Jeanie keeps her audiences engaged by providing self-assessments, interactive activities, stories, examples and fantastic take-home resources for continued learning.
As a speaker, Jeanie is respected not only for the rich-content she shares and the multi-media “come-alive learning” experience she provides, but she is known for her energetic, witty style as well as her compassion for individuals and families affected by diseases of aging.
Sometimes audience members share stories and tears of empathy. Other times they laugh so hard, they cry. Jeanie has a knack for making serious topics entertaining and fun. Whenever an audience member asks her to share the most important key to a longer life, Jeanie grins, nods, and answers, “Just keep on breathing, my friend!”
Jeanie believes that each minute of life is a priceless gift, and aging is part of the wondrous cycle of life. After the applause ends, audience members leave with a better understanding of how their brains age and how their lifestyle choices TODAY impact their TOMORROWS.
