A surprise (and fun) photo shoot during the "Women of the World" forum in London earlier this month — seems a lifetime ago now — ends up as a big feature in a UK newspaper. Now that is dangerous!
“Why women over 60 cope so well in a crisis and will emerge STRONGER than ever”
What are the qualities we most value in a crisis? Experience, competence, calmness, wisdom. All of which, says Pat Mitchell, the 77-year-old media mogul and grandmother of 13, are possessed in spades by women in midlife and beyond.
Named one of the world’s most powerful women over 50 by The Huffington Post, Mitchell sees in the current cohort of over-60s an extraordinarily rich asset.
‘I believe women over 60 are facing this [pandemic] danger with innovation and determination and the skills to contribute to shaping a new reality for the ways we work, interact and live,’ she says.
