Top Sixty Over Sixty

What Top Sixty Over Sixty does

Top Sixty Over Sixty is a private longevity literacy and age-inclusion education and consulting firm founded in 2017 by Helen Hirsh Spence and headquartered in Ottawa, Canada. The company helps businesses build age-inclusive cultures and helps individuals reframe later life as a period of creativity, contribution, and reinvention. Offerings span organizational consulting, a portfolio of standalone workshops (A Deeper Dive into Ageism, Uncovering Purpose, Functional Creativity, Problem Solving, Team Building, Opportunity Spotting, Better Decision Making, Self-Confidence Bootcamp), the multi-week ReSet Individual Program, the 'We Need to Talk' intergenerational dialogue series, monthly Age in the 21st Century sessions, and the Fast Forward five-part course. Content is distributed through the Age Sense LinkedIn newsletter, a blog, YouTube, podcasts, and Amazon book sales.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lean: programs are delivered through standard virtual meeting platforms, and the Emergenetics psychometric tool (a third-party behavioral instrument) is used inside the team-building and personal development modules. There is no proprietary software product. The company's intellectual property resides in its curriculum design, the ReSet book (co-authored with Debra Yearwood and featured in Forbes in May 2026), research resources such as Building On Diversity, and founder-led thought leadership including a TEDx Kanata appearance and recurring national media placements.

Top Sixty Over Sixty generates revenue across four streams: training and workshop programs, organizational consulting, keynote speaking engagements, and book sales via Amazon Canada and Amazon USA. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; workshops and consulting engagements begin with a free 30-minute consultation, with customized multi-year corporate contracts and individual subscription-billed workshops also referenced. The customer base is bifurcated between progressive businesses seeking age-inclusion training and mid/late/post-career individuals seeking personal development, with secondary audiences in education and government/policy sectors. The company has no disclosed institutional funding, no parent entity, and operates as a 1-10 employee founder-led professional services firm with active reach claimed across Canada, the UK, the US, and Australia.

Direct peers

• Encore.org: Encore.org is a nonprofit focused on encore careers and second-act purpose for adults 50+, exactly the same 'next chapter' positioning that Top Sixty Over Sixty builds around with ReSet and its longevity literacy programs. Both use storytelling, training, and community to reframe later life as contribution rather than decline.
• Generations United: Generations United is a U.S. nonprofit that promotes intergenerational collaboration and policies connecting youth, adults, and older adults. Its mission and programming closely mirror Top Sixty Over Sixty's 'We Need to Talk' series and the broader age-inclusion consulting it sells to organizations.
• Conscious Aging Network: Conscious Aging Network offers personal development workshops, retreats, and intergenerational programs aimed at adults navigating later life stages. Its curriculum model and elder-focused transformation work directly overlap with Top Sixty Over Sixty's ReSet program and longevity literacy workshops.
• Retirement Coaching Association: The Retirement Coaching Association organizes and credentials practitioners who coach individuals into retirement and post-career life - directly comparable to Top Sixty Over Sixty's ReSet individual program and 'Uncovering Purpose' workshop. Both target the same life-transition buyer.

Regional players

• Age UK: Age UK is the UK's largest charity for older adults, providing advice, training, and campaigns against ageism. It is a regional analog serving the same audience and policy conversations as Top Sixty Over Sixty, but focused on the UK rather than North America.
• Eldernet (New Zealand): Eldernet provides information, resources, and training for older adults and the aged-care sector in New Zealand. It is a regional player addressing senior learning and wellbeing, comparable to Top Sixty Over Sixty's training and resource offerings, but operating in a different geography.

Emerging players

• Ashoka's Aging Initiative: Ashoka's aging initiative identifies and supports social entrepreneurs working on aging-related innovation, including purpose and longevity programming. It overlaps with Top Sixty Over Sixty in the 'longevity as opportunity' narrative and intergenerational changemaker framing.
• Sage (Senior Adults Growing Education): Sage / similar Osher-style lifelong learning institutes run noncredit, peer-led learning cohorts for older adults - structurally analogous to Top Sixty Over Sixty's Age in the 21st Century sessions and ReSet coaching cohorts, though anchored in university extension models rather than founder-led consulting.

Broad incumbents

• Life Reimagined (AARP): Life Reimagined is AARP's personal development platform for adults seeking purpose, encore careers, and life-stage transitions. It competes for the same mid-career and post-career audience as Top Sixty Over Sixty's individual programs, but with far greater institutional reach and a free content-led model.
• AARP: AARP is the largest U.S. advocacy and membership organization for adults 50+, with research, policy, and content on age inclusion and longevity. It is a broad incumbent that anchors the same longevity conversation Top Sixty Over Sixty works in, with vastly greater resources and brand recognition.
