Corinne Auman

How language, assumptions, and bias are quietly shaping the lives of millions — and what we can do about it.

Ageism is the last socially acceptable prejudice in America. It lives in birthday cards, hiring decisions, healthcare conversations, and the way we talk to — and about — our elders. In this compelling and often surprising talk, Dr. Corinne Auman challenges audiences to examine their own assumptions about aging, longevity, and what it means to live well at every stage of life. Drawing on two decades of frontline care management experience and her landmark Keenagers™ framework, she makes the case that the stories we tell about getting older are not just wrong — they're dangerous. And she offers a better story.
