Doe Hentschel, Ph.D. Leadership Preceptor and Director of the Third Age Initiative™ and author of the forthcoming memoir, Look Ma! No Hands! Life’s Lessons Learned the Hard Way (2022) will share her perspective on the power of resilience for a healthy aging process. In this talk, she will discuss:
1. Becoming resilient—the reward for getting older and surviving for decades
2. The importance of positivity and self-efficacy as we age
3. The role community-connection has in healthy aging
Learning objectives:
• Participants will develop an appreciation for the value of all of life’s experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly
• Participants will be introduced to several strategies they can employ to transform challenges into triumphs and strengthen their own resiliency
Dr. Doe Hentschel joined the staff of Leadership Greater Hartford in 2000 after retiring from a long and distinguished career in higher education. She began her LGH career as program director to develop the Third Age Initiative™, LGH’s program to identify, develop and engage older adults in meaningful ways in the community. She served as Senior Program Director and Vice President and is currently “Leadership Preceptor.” In this capacity she continues to direct the Third Age Initiative™, contribute as curriculum designer and facilitator in many LGH programs and services, and serve as a guide and mentor to her colleagues. A seasoned administrator in higher education, “Dr. Doe” served as Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs at Pine Manor College, Dean of Extended and Continuing Education at the University of Connecticut, and Dean of Adult and Continuing Education at SUNY College at Brockport. She was on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the department of Administrative Leadership/Adult Education and held administrative positions at William Rainey Harper Community College in Palatine, Illinois, and in the statewide public service administration at the University of Illinois.
“Dr. Doe” has published more than 50 articles, chapters, and research papers. In her first book, Look Ma! No Hands! Life’s Lessons Learned the Hard Way (2022) she shares her philosophy of life and leadership drawn from stories about the six months after she broke both elbows in a bicycle accident and had no use of her hands and arms.
In 2010, the Association of Leadership Programs honored Dr. Doe with the Preceptor Award, its highest recognition. She was named a Top Ten member of the Connecticut 60 over 60 class of 2018. In 2013, Dr. Hentschel was inducted into the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame.
