SHEEHY CONNECTS WITH AUDIENCES - FROM PAGE TO STAGE

The author of Passages, who became an icon of Baby Boomers, is one of the most popular speakers on the lecture circuit. She offers dynamic programs based on her groundbreaking research and original observations on the lives of men and women within different phases of their lives and how they can enjoy them to the fullest. At the Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York, Sheehy noted that a woman who reaches the age of 50 without evidence of cancer or heart disease can expect to live until 92. There was a rumble of surprised delight, followed by gasps as the audience processed the information. "Whoever prepared us for the possibility we might live long enough to forget the name of our first husband?" Sheehy asked.
