It’s more than a speech.
It’s a creative, uplifting experience.
This will give you a feel for what I’m talking about.
These days, instead of presenting ad campaigns in boardrooms full of men, I’m inspiring rooms full of women at conferences, summits and seminars.
My “Breaking Out of The Age Cage” signature talk is filled with art and heart, wit and wisdom. And resonates deeply with women of all ages, from new moms to grandmas, from executives to empty-nesters.
The underlying idea is that when we change the way we look at aging, we can change the way we age.
In it, I talk about how I lost my big fat advertising job and experienced my first big fat does of ageism at 50.
I share the dragonfly’s muck-to-magic story to help women change their stories. And a series of “Dragonflying Lessons” for rising up from the ageist muck and growing new wings in midlife and beyond.
No matter what size the group, from 40 to 400, I have a knack for making it feel like a one-on-one, heart-to-heart conversation.
Talk to me about speaking
Some kind words from women who have heard me speak:
“Wendi’s message is infectious! She is such an inspiring speaker and a beautiful role model of what it means to change the narrative around aging. Her words and stories are empowering, enlightening, and encouraging. Wendi brings magic to the stage through her presence and lived experience. She is also funny, wise, heart-centered and relatable. I hope that every woman gets to experience Wendi Knox speak so they can remember “it’s never too late to soar.”
Tabby Biddle, Women’s Leadership Coach, Bestselling Author of “Find Your Voice: A Woman’s Call to Action”
“After two very impressive online workshops, we invited Wendi back again to kick off our ALTARing Aging Speaker Series. And once again, she was amazing. Her engaging, original talk and workshop opened hearts and minds, inspiring us to let go of false ideas about ourselves and the experience of aging. Even though we were all on Zoom, Wendi’s vulnerability, warmth and magical ability to connect transcended the screen and made for an especially engaging experience”
Kathy Bresler, Founder of ALTAR Community
“Wendi walked onto the stage and straight into our hearts with the right combination of truth, humor, compassion, and hope. Her life experience, combined with her open heart, lends itself well to any organization looking for a great speaker, and I guarantee any audience will be moved by her unique and interesting approach to life’s journey. “
Susan Whitmore, Founder of Grief Haven Annual Fundraiser
“I hired Wendi after reading about her in Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper. She was everything I had hoped she’d be—inspirational, funny and motivating. All 400 guests were moved to a standing ovation. And I’ve received so many spectacular comments.”
Debi Schultze, Simi Valley Hospital Foundation Luncheon
“Wendi had the audience in the palm of her hand. They were absolutely captivated by her story, her creativity and her passion. It was remarkable to see how quickly the women adopted her colorful dragonfly vocabulary.”
