Meet Helen Hirsh Spence, the founder of Top Sixty Over Sixty and a bold advocate for longevity, age diversity, and rewriting outdated narratives around aging.
From teaching in Munich in the ’70s to leading education initiatives in Canada, Helen has spent over 50 years challenging what it means to grow, learn, and lead at every stage of life.
After experiencing ageism firsthand, she didn’t just speak out – she launched a movement.
Through Top Sixty Over Sixty, Helen is reshaping the story of aging by confronting age discrimination, educating others about longevity literacy, and spotlighting the strengths of older generations.
As an international speaker and longevity strategist – with a recent TEDx talk surpassing 100K views in just one month – Helen is inviting us all to rethink aging, purpose, and potential in today’s world.
As lifespans grow longer, the way we think about work, retirement, and aging must evolve.
Helen’s work reminds us that growing older isn’t something to fear.
It’s an opportunity to lead, learn, and redefine what’s possible.
Hear the full conversation with Helen and explore what longevity literacy really means.
