GLN 2026 SuperNova

[Paul Terlemezian]

This concept is a follow up to the SuperNova ReachOutAbout conducted at Georgia LEARNS 2025.

Recently, I read, heard, dreamed, or made up that it is difficult for people in their 70's, 80's, or older to become hired for their talents. I decided that it is our fault if this happens to us - and that we would be better off acting our age...and I thought of three things we could do at this age that makes us quite valuable and that could not be done as well by someone younger than us.

1. We don't need (or want a boss) or the money they might pay us to compromise our values.
2. We are willing to work on very important things that might take longer to accomplish than the time we have left.
3. We are willing to defer our payment until those we have helped have realized the benefits of our help.

As a result of this thinking, I am recruiting a team of Supernova's willing to do this work. I am eager for your help to turn this "dream" into a reality!

This session will apply the GLN Insights approach.

3. Topical relevant humor via humorists or video
