Elder Institute

Our purpose is to transition late-aged career individuals from older to elder.

An elder for our times.

Benefits of Elder Consulting and Coaching

WHY LEADERS COME TO OUR WORK WITH US ON THEIR WISDOM​ ​

There are many reasons to come to our consultant for top-of-the-line counseling. Leaders who undergo wisdom counseling can:

See situations from the third person, the witness, in order to make the right decisions​

Anticipate future changes and be more effective to take the necessary actions​

Remove fear, doubt and worry from themselves and others

Handle difficult and rapidly changing situations with effectiveness and equanimity​

See the whole picture rather than just its separate parts​

Being a nonanxious presence in anxious moments

Provide sanctuary and clarity so the truth gets told and effective requests are made​

Help others become great leaders

The Contemporary Elder Institute is both a practical as well as existential and metaphysical organization that transforms late aging. Participation in the institute generates new understandings and experiences of aging, so late age is by choice rather than default. Our network of relationships, methods and models, and transcendental approaches convert people from older to elder, from age to sage, and from resignation to renewal.

Higher wisdom, sapience, or sagacity is the ability to contemplate and act using

knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insight.
