Julie Kertesz, Keynote Speaker

It is great to being invited and assist to a Creative Ageing day and be the Keynote speaker, it was also nice to be paid and all expenses of travel from London to Ayr taken care of. It was wonderful to meet with so many interesting people of all ages, this time most over 50.

It is very rewarding to receive an appreciation like this for my work, stories and presence.

"Julie's Keynote was an inspiring and invigorating start to our Creative Ageing Day, with the stories and experiences which she shared successfully bringing a broad group of delegates on board to fully engage with the activities and sessions on offer. 

As a storyteller and speaker her wholehearted zest humour and creativity is evident as a driving force throughout her own life, work and latterly in her responses to the ageing process. This is the Kertesz 'touch' from which many of our delegates drew strength and encouragement to take some of their own creative risks!
