Today, I am joined by two very special guests that you are absolutely going to love.

Ellen Kocher is a Swiss-American economist and certified Workplace Wellness Consultant and Holistic Health Coach. Dominique Ben Dhaou has been working in human resources leadership for over 30 years. She helps professionals and executives reinvent careers that truly fit their experience, values, skills and purpose.

Together, these remarkable women have created Wake-Up, Shake-Up, Thrive - their business and now their book as well - which you will hear all about here today. Along the way, they will share their journey toward working together, ageism and its impact, and how social media is changing the conversation about aging. They also review the benefits that come with aging, the five dimensions of well being, The Swiss Touch and The Green Thumb, and so much more. Do not pass up this golden opportunity to bask in the immense wisdom, knowledge, and advice that Dominique and Ellen have to share.

Quotes:

"I have these people that come to me to change their job, and they're not well in their body, they don't feel good. They're either overweight or burned out."

"If we combine our forces, we can do that more - impact and do something phenomenal for the world. And we did!"

"We work a lot on bias through the values, through, you know, leaving a legacy behind, understanding how we function, and untapping the potential that we see in many people, and that sometimes they don't see, or is limited either by themselves or by the company where they work, or by education and the community where they live."

"We see a lot of commonalities between those two generations; the younger generation doesn't want to work in a certain way or live in a certain way, and our generation doesn't want to do that any longer."

"I think it's just interesting to note that we are coming in under diversity, equity and inclusion. And this isn't about belonging, just like race, or gender, or sexual preference. It's the same category of multicultural competency."

"It's not a number. It's a mindset."

"Two thirds of our book, it's very much referenced, based on science with all the people that we've studied and learned from."

"In every dimension, we touch on the sustainability aspect."

"We have grown so close that it's almost like a bright light for the future."
