Coaching from Our Future Selves — the Work of Karl Pillemer
by Ben Dean
Have you ever dreamed of being able to go back to earlier points
in your life, but with all the wisdom and experience you’ve
accumulated?
I
do this all the time. When I want to dress it up, I say I’m
comfortable moving through possible scenarios in the past and
future. But it may at times be just Walter-Mitty daydreaming.
For
example:
- Other
than running the mile in track my senior year (slowly), I
did not play sports in high school. But I sometimes imagine
going back to my freshman year in high school where I’ve
been given the gift of making 10,000 baskets without missing,
from anywhere on the court. I become a can’t-miss scoring
machine in high school. I'm heavily recruited and then start
every year in a D-1 college basketball program. I’m
simply amazing under pressure because — at least until
I exhaust my 10,000 baskets—I cannot miss. Sometimes
I'm even a consensus first team All American.
- Or
imagine if I could go back in time 30 years, what would I
do with investments? Put 100% in Warren Buffet’s investment
fund? Put everything into AOL and then cash out as soon as
they merge with Time Warner?
- Or
take all of Dan Gilbert’s and Tim Wilson’s work
on Affective Forecasting back into graduate school and use
it to brilliantly create…”Affective Forecasting”!
- Or
take Tony Grant’s review of the coaching literature
that came out around 2000 back into my graduate school years
and do the first-ever dissertation on coaching?
- Or
go tell the young Ben how to avoid some of the political problems
that he ran into early in his career?
The
bottom line is this: If you could go back and mentor the young
“you”, telling him or her what really matters, suggesting
how to avoid problems, telling them what they’ll wish
they’d done 30 years later, wouldn’t that be inordinately
valuable?
It
would be for me. I’d be there taking notes and recording
every bit of advice.
We’ll
this is available to us right now. Not advice from ourselves
in the future. But advice from our wisest elders about what
we should be doing now, about what really matters, about what
mistakes to avoid.
This
is the most recent work of the world famous gerontologist from
Cornell University, Karl Pillemer. He has interviewed hundreds
of our wisest older people to find out what they know about
life, what advice they would give us.
And
because this advice is filtered by Karl’s mastery of the
field, what remains is valuable for us. And valuable for our
clients. On Friday, you can hear Karl tell us what those
lessons are. And you can ask him any questions that occur to
you. Please join us. All information is here
and in #3 below.

ABOUT
KARL PILLEMER, Ph.D.
Cornell
Professor Karl Pillemer has spent his life in the study of the
social, psychological and biological aspects
of aging. But it was only after a chance encounter
with an extraordinary ninety-year-old woman, that he began to
wonder what older people know about life that the rest of us
don't.
His quest led him to interview more than one thousand Americans
over the age of sixty-five to seek their counsel on all the
big issues- children, marriage, money, career, aging. Their
moving stories and uncompromisingly honest answers often surprised
him.
And he found that he consistently heard advice that pointed
to these thirty lessons for living. He took the interviews
and wove their personal recollections of difficulties overcome
and lives well lived into a timeless book filled with the hard-won
advice these older Americans wish someone had given them when
they were young. Offering clear advice toward a more fulfilling
life, 30 Lessons for Living is as useful as it is inspiring.
Karl
is the Hazel E. Reed Professor of human development at Cornell
University and Professor of Gerontology in Medicine at the Weill
Cornell Medical College. An internationally renowned gerontologist,
his research examines how people develop and change throughout
their lives. He has authored five books and over 100 scientific
publications, and speaks throughout the world on aging-related
issues.
He
directs the Cornell
Legacy Project which is systematically collecting
data from older Americans regarding practical advice for living.
The Legacy Project involves several interrelated studies centered
on the question posed to older people: "As you look back
over your life, what are the most important lessons you would
like to pass on to future generations?" In 30
Lessons for Living, results of these
studies are presented as practical advice for people of all
ages on topics such as marriage, child-rearing, work and career,
avoiding regrets, and aging well.
Come
hear Karl share these lessons on Friday. Bring all your
questions. Info
