Brain Fitness Training for Boomers & Seniors

Behind the Mind of a Mindful Communicator:
is a highly functioning brain. It is focused, flexible, alert, able to sustain attention, spontaneous but not impulsive, able to swiftly process and recall information, thoughtful and calm. The average adult spends more time maintaining their car or their house than maintaining their brain. The fact is, is that without a highly functioning brain, we put the car, the house and the quality of our relationships at risk. 

The Big Wave:
  • Of the entire U.S. population, 27% will turn 60-65 over the next 20 years. 4.3 million people turned 50 in 2007. For the next 15 years one boomer will turn 60 every 7.5 seconds.
  • Educated and affluent boomers are re-inventing their lives, re-wiring instead of retiring.
  • Merrill Lynch’s New Retirement Survey claim that 81% of boomers plan to work well past the age of 65. The recent drop in the economy is making that a more necessary choice than ever before.

Enjoy Life

Have you noticed lately that more of the time you seem to:

  • Be slow to understand complex information?
  • Have memory problems?
  • Be more easily distracted?

These declines can create stress, moodiness, a lack of confidence; they can affect people’s desire to be around you
