Key Takeaways Diversity and inclusion (DEI) should be seen as a leadership practice and not just the responsibility of DEI professionals. Creating meaningful change requires shifting systemic structures and dismantling embedded biases. Conscious aging is about being aware of the transitions and shifts that come with getting older and making aging aspirational. Elders play a crucial role in society by sharing wisdom and life lessons with future generations. Passing on wisdom and being open to learning from others are essential aspects of personal and professional growth.
