speaker and panelist
Symposia 2017, Host Julie Gordon White
Terri is an energetic and passionate speaker and readily makes connections with her audiences on a wide range of topics, primarily focused on inspiring women over the age of 40 to design and live a life of their own creation.
She leverages her diverse background as a commercially rated helicopter pilot, author, travel vlogger, angel investor, and experienced life sciences professional to not only inspire women to be the pilots in their own lives. She also encourages everyone to realize how the patriarchy negatively affects us all, and to take action to improve our society, and the world.
Terri is a vocal advocate for diverse speakers and panels, encouraging conference and event organizers to bring multiple voices and perspectives into, and to lead, the conversation.
Terri Hanson Mead is available for speaking engagements on the following topics:
Midlife Women: Midlife is not a crisis; it’s an opportunity for women. Terri speaks candidly and amusingly about her experience as a woman over the age of 40 in life, love, as a parent, as a founder, as an investor, and as a helicopter pilot. She shares her passion for encouraging other women to create and live a more meaningful and impactful life of their choosing.
Piloting Your Own Life: There are so many social pressures and expectations for women in this world that it is easy to lose one's bearings and disconnect from one's internal compass. Now more than ever, it is important to set your own destination (vision) and define your core values (set your compass) and make all of your decisions in support of both. You will need to trust yourself as not everything will go according to plan. But, all of this will enable you to live your life authentically, without apology, and be the pilot in your own life.

Demographics are Shifting, Have your investments? As the market demographics are shifting to put more spending power in the hands of previously underrepresented populations, investors are not investing in companies that serve these markets to the same degree. Women control 80% of the money spent in households, and yet they are not recognized as a large market demographic by investors. Terri discusses the benefits of paying attention to demographics in choosing investments as well as why investing in non-cis-het-white men founders makes good investing sense.
