Hey Pro Agers!Meet Mimi Donaldson: At 76, she is thriving in life and shares her journey from giving keynotes for decades, to helping others deliver powerful speeches through her TEDx and speech coaching.Here are the highlights from our delicious conversation:🎤 Keynote Wisdom – Mimi, once a powerhouse keynote speaker, likens delivering speeches to operating a jukebox, with a repertoire of 14 keynotes. She shared the liberating realization that after her last major keynote in Brazil in 2014, it was time to transition to something she loved more—coaching. Her journey teaches us that it's okay to move on from things that no longer bring joy, especially after the age of 65.❤️ Finding Passion vs. Doing What You Love –  Mimi’s advice for those over 65 is gold: instead of chasing new passions, immerse yourself in activities you already love. Discovering what doesn't excite you can be just as important as finding what does. ✨ Path of a Speech Coach – After decades of inspiring from the stage, Mimi’s aha moment came as she found delight in mentoring others. Today, she coaches TEDx speakers, executives, and entrepreneurs, helping them develop powerful speeches that resonate. Her joy now comes from seeing the spark in her clients’ eyes—proof that our passions can evolve beautifully over time.💡 TEDx Secrets Unveiled – If you’re thinking about giving a TEDx talk, Mimi’s got you covered!
