your audience deserves more than inspiration – they need permission
Wonder Wendy Farrell, The Imperfect Prophet, gives women 40-65 permission to reject the cultural script that says their time is over. Drawing on her background in strategic communications, Wendy deconstructs ageist narratives and provides frameworks for building bigger lives, not smaller ones.
Speaking to audiences across the US and Europe • International bestselling author • Host of The Imperfect Prophet podcast
WHY ORGANIZATIONS BOOK WENDY
Your audience has heard countless speakers promise transformation through positivity. Wendy delivers something different: analytical tools to dismantle the narratives keeping them stuck.
As a media strategist who saved Vermont’s minor league baseball team through a strategic campaign that made national news, Wendy understands how stories shape reality. She brings that same lens to deconstructing the cultural myths that tell accomplished women their best years are behind them.
What makes her different:
- Strategic frameworks, not just emotional uplift
- Cultural critique with the precision of someone who built campaigns for a living
- Authentic “I call bullshit” energy that gives permission to be real
- No coaching agenda—shares wisdom freely (“open source help”)
- Natural extemporaneous speaker who reads rooms and adapts on the fly
attendees leave with:
- Permission to reject cultural scripts about aging
- Frameworks for deconstructing limiting narratives
- Tools for authentic leadership that leverages accumulated experience
- Connection with women refusing to shrink
