Today’s Speaker: Diana Coleman, Women Going For It! Taking Risks After 50
Positive Risks! This became Diana’s retirement passion project. This is a topic that applies to Men and Women! Diana sent out a survey to women all across the country and the world. Many women wanted travel, change, health but there were finance concerns noting time was fleeting as retirement approached. Diana interviewed diverse women around the world of all types of backgrounds locating compelling stories and were asked to share advice. There are many stories of women who enrolled in roller derby, in Ethiopia – began fund raising for children, worked with international habitat for humanity, created a hotdog café and homemade dog treats, donate your kidney to a stranger, became a CNA to work with dying patients, joined a singing group, coastal children’s museum volunteer and fundraiser (and skydiving). Questions for our audience…How many have skydived? What risks are you thinking about?
