Well-Being for Children, or for Olders, or for Everyone


We are bombarded with billions of dollars on advertising on how to live longer, usually associated with products or services not proven scientifically, most related to superficial benefits.

We are already living longer. Every country in the world has more than doubled the life expectancy of its residents since 1900. We have added many years to our lives, but we have failed to add life to those years.

Gil can work with you and your staff on improving the well-being of your residents, either focusing on children, or on olders, or on the general population.

It can be on one inspirational 3 – 4 day visit combining keynotes with conversations, advise, or on an annual program, or other form to be developed.

Why with you and your staff?
Because it’s not about bringing in teams of very expensive consultants who will later leave, taking with them much of the knowledge. It’s about developing programs with much of the existing knowledge, but helping coordinate across all areas, including public, private, non-profit sectors.

Having worked in over 350 cities all over the world, very close with decision makers, staff from public health, economic development, urban planners, parks, transportation, others, as well as with community groups, some focused-on Children, others on Olders, others on all vulnerable people, Gil has the experience and knowledge to work with you implementing the 5 Actions to Well-Being.

Everyone’s goal in life is to live Healthier and Happier. Willpower is needed, but it’s not enough, for the individual, or for the community.

The city, through infrastructure, programs, activities, can change and make living healthier the easier option. Then everyone can live older, but also healthier and happier.
