Bonnie Fatio, founder of AgeEsteem®, is an internationally recognized motivational speaker who inspires and challenges. For more than 20 years, she has specialized in motivation and its power to influence positive change in individuals and organizations.

Visionary
Bonnie envisions a world where age and aging are celebrated and people of all ages are respected as contributing members of society.

“For this to happen, each of us needs to feel good about ourselves at the age we are,”she says.

AgeEsteem does just that: it motivates and challenges individuals to reach new heights in the prime of one’s life. Now in her late 60s, Bonnie feels that life becomes more exciting each day!

Commitment to Helping People of All Ages Shine

AgeEsteem is a natural offspring of Bonnie’s personal life experiences and professional career. She is founding partner of Blewfield Associates, a Geneva-based organization specializing in motivating and helping people shine through their special talents and interests, both in their work and their personal lives.

Throughout her career, Bonnie has had a deep passion for issues related to an individual’s contribution to society during his or her golden years. As an example of this commitment, she served on the board of directors of several retirement homes for people of varying degrees of care needs. She also provided coaching to both individuals and groups about life values as retirement approaches.

To bolster her client programs, Bonnie conducted substantial primary research on the perceived challenges and solutions to having personal esteem as individuals ‘age.’

Local and Global Community Involvement

Bonnie has held numerous community leadership positions, including in local government. She currently serves on the board of Legacy® and is the Goodwill Ambassador of the World YWCA.

Before founding her own businesses, she held management positions in education, business and health care.

She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Special Education as well as a teacher certificate from Michigan State University, and a Master of Arts degree in Human Resources Development from Webster University in Geneva, Switzerland.

Bonnie grew up in the Midwest and holds both American and Swiss citizenships. She and her husband, Gerard Fatio, have a daughter, Laetitia, and two granddaughters, Jessica and Viviane.
