Topics, sessions and talks

Managing And Targeting The Super Consumer
Eleanor Mills highlights that older consumers outspend Millennials by 250% and will represent over half of the Western workforce by 2030. Despite this, many companies overlook the potential of these "Super Consumers." Attendees will learn how to effectively engage with midlifers, understanding their preferences, what deters them, and the factors that drive their purchasing decisions. This insight will empower businesses to tap into the significant spending power of this demographic.
Reinvention Is Not A Crisis But A Chrysalis
Eleanor Mills addresses the reality of midlife crises, which can manifest as divorce, job loss, or health issues. Despite these challenges, she emphasises that with increased life expectancy, there’s an opportunity to reinvent oneself. Attendees will discover effective strategies for transitioning through midlife and learn how to cultivate the mental resilience necessary for making significant life changes. This talk will empower individuals to embrace this pivotal stage and become the person they've always aspired to be.
The Art Of Communicating Who We Are
Eleanor Mills addresses the challenges of remote and hybrid work environments, where personal connections can be lost. She emphasises the importance of effectively communicating one’s leadership qualities, language skills, and cultural fluency to colleagues and bosses. Drawing from her thirty years of experience interviewing prominent figures, Eleanor shares valuable lessons on how to articulate your personal story, professional expertise, and passion. Attendees will learn to present their most compelling selves in any work setting.
