Designing Intergenerational Partnerships
Spark Living and Learning helps higher education, senior living, and community leaders create innovative, financially sustainable models that enrich learning, increase engagement, and improve well-being across generations.
Welcome
I believe that communities are stronger — and learning richer — when generations learn and engage together.
How I work
Spark Living and Learning Services partners with leaders ready to rethink aging, education, and community.
From Spark to Strategy
Strategic consulting for organizations exploring partnerships between higher education and senior living—aligning vision, culture, and organizational resources to create sustainable, intergenerational models.
Imagining What’s Possible
Immersive, day-long workshops that bring leaders together to generate ideas, shared ownership, and a clear path forward.
From Vision to Action
Trusted, data-informed guidance for boards and executive teams navigating growth, innovation, and complex stakeholder environments.
Inspiring New Ways of Thinking
Engaging presentations that challenge ageism and showcase innovative models of intergenerational living and learning.
What clients are saying
"Joel A. Barker once said, "Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.” This quote aligns with Anne Doyle’s consulting style.
Anne has a way of combining vision and action into such a synergy that one is unaware that they are embarking on a journey to change the world. Big change takes a series of small changes with deep roots and a firm foundation. Anne is expert at putting those pieces in place, with individuals, groups and entire organizations.
Anne leads, inspires, and works alongside. When the path is unclear and the outcomes uncertain, Anne was our lighthouse. Highly recommended.
