Julie AnkersJulie is an entrepreneur with a passion for promoting and developing people. For nearly 30 years she ran a speakers and trainers bureau, and also developed a company focusing on retaining mature age workers and building age inclusive workforces. This as well as reaching her own half century (quite a few years ago!), kick-started her interest in the over 50s which has now resulted in three powerful books of autobiographical stories from men and women in their 50+ years. She has also taken on leadership roles in organisations such as Women Chiefs of Enterprises International (WCEI), National Foundation for Australian Women (NFAW), Economic Security 4 Women and Zonta International. Seven years ago Julie decided to make a tree change and currently lives in the Blue Mountains. She divides her time between writing, producing and hosting a radio program called ARTHouse, her various board/committee commitments, facilitating age positive workshops and adding to her collection of beautifully designed hand-crafted jewellery. She is also constantly inspired by the exquisite beauty of the Blumos. Read More Read Less
