Retirement is redundant | Catherine Rickwood | TEDxCanberra

In this compelling and entertaining talk, Dr Catherine Rickwood challenges our assumptions about ageing and retirement, and questions our current approaches. She argues that age stereotypes and ageism are limiting imagination and innovation. She proposes ways we can rethink our approach to ageing and how we might accept and optimise longer lives to create a different future for everyone. Dr Catherine Rickwood is one of Australia’s leading experts on the topic of longer lifespans, and founder and CEO of consultancy and advisory firm Three Sisters Group. An active speaker and blogger on issues affecting our ageing population, Catherine believes age stereotypes, ageism, and generational labels divide and limit our individual and collective futures as we succumb to outdated ideas associated with retirement. Catherine works with organisations around the country to co-design and create innovative approaches to business strategies including: human resource management; new product development; and, service delivery. She has recently co-authored a book chapter on 'Women & Ageing’, and is regularly turned to for comment by the media, including ABC’s Radio National, The Sydney Morning Herald, and SBS. Catherine is also an Academic Mentor on the Master of Management (CEMS) program at the University of Sydney. She plans to live a full and active life to 100 and beyond. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
