She shifted and worked as a producer, comedy teacher, and writer to stay connected in the business.At 59 she had a break through idea:  Funny Women of A Certain Age. A stand up comedy show featuring older comedian women. With a talent pool of about 100 artists, Carole has been producing shows for the past ten years, TV channel SHOWTIME made three Comedy Specials with Funny Women of A Certain Age.Listen to a conversation about ageism, about how funny never gets old, and about facing the truth.

Summary In this conversation, Dr. Cecilia Poon, a Geropsychologist, discusses the complexities of aging and caregiving. She emphasizes the psychological aspects of aging, the importance of communication between caregivers and older adults, and the resilience that can be found in both groups. The conversation also addresses denial in older adults, family dynamics that can complicate caregiving. Dr. Poon highlights the need for understanding and compassion in navigating these challenges, advocating for interdependence rather than dependency as individuals age.TakeawaysAging is a lifelong process that affects everyone differently.Psychological resilience is crucial for both older adults and caregivers.Communication is key to bridging gaps between caregivers and older adults.Denial can manifest in various ways and is not always negative.Family dynamics can complicate caregiving and perceptions of aging.Older adults often adapt to changes without recognizing them as aging.Asking for help is essential but can be stigmatized due to ageism.Resilience in aging involves flexibility and the ability to bounce back.Trust is fundamental in the caregiver-older adult relationship.Understanding the function of behaviors can help caregivers respond better.Chapters00:00 Understanding Aging: The Psychological Perspective10:42 Navigating Denial: Caregiver and Patient Dynamics19:25 Resilience in Aging: Embracing Interdependence24:06 Communication Strategies: Bridging the Gap with Older Adults28:35 Navigating Conversations with Healthcare Providers33:36 Addressing Family Denial and Communication Challenges38:07 Understanding Caregiver Dynamics and Responsibilities42:59 Navigating Manipulation and Independence in Aging53:15 Cognitive Impairment and Communication StrategiesKeywordsaging, caregiving, psychology, resilience, communication, denial, family dynamics, manipulation, interdependence, mental healthResources from Dr. PoonPlan Your LifespanAcross the lifespan  Reframing AgingAPA Resolution on Ageism.

Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place - Age Discrimination in AustraliaNew research from the Australian Human Rights Commission reveals a shocking truth: employers are crying out for workers while systematically excluding them based on age. Key findings show only 56% of employers will hire 50-64 year olds, dropping to 28% for those 65+, while just 41% are open to hiring 15-24 year olds. Even more concerning - 24% of HR professionals now classify workers over 50 as "older," up 10% from 2023!Jane explores why this research is important to mid-career professionals, and shares strategies mature Australian workers can use to navigate this challenging landscape with confidence.For help to navigate these challenges, join Jane's CAREER SUCCESS PROGRAM at https://www.thecareersacademy.online Book one-on-one coaching support with Jane at https://www.janejacksoncoach.com Read the full article with links to research findings here:  https://janejacksoncoach.com/age-discrimination-australian-workers/ ------------ >>> For career clarity and confidence, download Jane's career resources at janejacksoncoach.com Support the showFind out what you MUST DO to make a successful career change and land the job you'll LOVE.

In 2021 the WHO considered classifing old age as a disease. Someone who challenged that classification is geriatric psychiatrist, Dr Kiran Rabheru.  

Are you in your late 40s or beyond?If so, you have decades of valuable experience, a powerful network, and a laundry list of success metrics. But lately, you may be feeling stuck in your career. * You're no longer moving up. * You're watching your younger colleagues get promoted. * Recruiters ghost you more often now. * Job interviews stall out even when you think you interviewed well. You're too experienced for entry-level or mid-level roles. And when you aim for more senior leadership or executive roles, you discover they want someone with 25 years of experience who's only 35 years old. Heaven help you if you get laid off now. It's not a pretty job market for anyone, especially an older worker. “People laid off at higher ages are less likely to move into a new field than those who quit, said Kevin Cahill, an economist at FTI Consulting. “Ageism and higher compensation expectations can be obstacles to re-employment, he said.” (source)* It takes nearly 26 weeks, on average, for people ages 55 to 64 to find a job, compared with 19 weeks for people ages 25 to 34, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.* Older career workers who find new jobs take an 11% pay cut, on average, according to a forthcoming study Cahill co-wrote.So, why not take an early retirement? Well, I bet you're not there yet. Financially, emotionally, or physically. The sad truth is that people who retire sooner die earlier. Believe me, you're not alone in feeling this way and facing this issue. This “messy middle” of our professional careers is real, and it's brutal.But it's also where your next move can be your most powerful. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but reinventing yourself can lead to living the best years of your life. I'm living proof, and there are lots of us who have done it. It's been over 15 years since I fled my old corporate career to pivot into something new. I built my own businesses, started working out every day, and reinvested in my most important relationships. My sense of loss and depression shifted into joy and fulfillment. I've never been happier! The Messy Middle You're not imagining things, and it's not just you. The job market has shifted under your feet while the economy has been struggling, and political chaos ensues. * Good roles are becoming rarer, and expectations are higher.* Companies are cutting layers of middle and senior management.* They are also eliminating entry-level roles and leaning on fewer employees augmented with AI. * Ageism is real (especially in tech and startups), but hard to prove. * AI is quietly replacing parts of your job.* Younger, cheaper hires are more appealing than the cost of more experienced employees.You didn't do anything wrong. But the system isn't built for you anymore.“The tide has definitely turned against tech workers,” said Catherine Bracy, the founder and chief executive of TechEquity, a nonprofit that pushes for economic inclusion in the industry. “Companies have even more leverage to use against workers, and A.I. is supercharging that.” (source)Traditional Career Advice Fails You “Just update your LinkedIn and polish your resume! Start easy applying to hundreds of jobs every week.”Yeah… no. When you've had a long, complex career, playing the “cold-apply resume” game is a sure-fire way to lose. The hiring process is automated and biased. Most online applications are dead ends, and older workers are screwed. You need a new strategy for this new game.Your leverage is different nowAt this stage of your career, you have leverage that younger people don't. Stop being shy about using your advantages!* Relationships: The network you've built for decades is more powerful than you think.* Reputation: People know your name. They've seen your work. They already trust you.* Experience: You've led, built, scaled, failed, recovered, and learned. Your insights are rare and valuable.Three paths out of the messy middle1. Reposition and rebrand2. Redesign your role3. Find more purposeI go into more detail in the podcast audio, so scroll up, hit play, and listen. Real stories of reinvention * David Jesse - Executive Product Leader, advisor, coach, and founder of Crescendo Product Group * Ha Nguyen - Founder and Managing Partner at NextStep Advisors * Maureen Wiley Clough - Host of It Gets Late Early, a podcast and community of tech employees bringing awareness to ageismNone of them waited for someone to “give them a shot.” They stopped playing the game that was rigged against them. They created their next opportunity.You can too.What to do this monthHere's your 3-step personal challenge:* Rewrite one part of the “Story of You”What's the outdated identity or job title you're clinging to? Rewrite your LinkedIn headline and About section to reflect who you are now and who you want to become. * Reignite one dormant relationshipSomeone in your network already knows your value. Reach out, reconnect, and have a real conversation. I created a free CRM to help with this. * Map out your next move If you weren't looking for a job, what kind of business might you build?

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe unpredictable dangers that surround us take center stage as I explore how quickly life can change when we least expect it. A Google software engineer's life was tragically cut short by a falling sequoia branch at Yosemite National Park, highlighting the random perils that exist even in nature's most beautiful settings. This sobering reminder of our vulnerability extends to supposed "controlled environments" too, as evidenced by the disturbing incident where an octopus latched onto a six-year-old boy at a Texas aquarium's interactive exhibit, requiring three staff members five minutes to free him.Beyond physical dangers, we're navigating social threats as well. The viral story of a 58-year-old professional who believes his age has rendered him unemployable resonates with many Gen-Xers and Boomers facing similar challenges. With studies showing 90% of workers over 40 experiencing ageism, it's clear that expertise and experience aren't always valued in today's job market. It's particularly frustrating when considering the superior work ethic many older workers bring to the table - something I've witnessed firsthand in my workplace, where punctuality and preparation vary dramatically between generations.My frustration reaches its peak when sharing how my workplace essentially penalized early arrivals by changing policies to accommodate chronically late employees. What kind of system discourages dedication while enabling tardiness? As I wrap up today's episode, I'm on the hunt for new television recommendations - preferably crime fiction without excessive elements, similar to Broadchurch or Landscapers. What are you watching right now that might fit my tastes? I'd love to hear your suggestions for solid, entertaining shows that don't sacrifice quality storytelling for agenda-pushing content.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Hello Friends of The Shape of Care! Check out Next Chapters, my new podcast about growing older for women. It's a project of Our Bodies Ourselves, and the Trailer just launched. Episodes start on August 13th!

We were discussing the role of degrees in job seeking and hiring this week and we had a question from one person who said he was struggling to get interviews despite 30 years of experience. So we ask: What are the rules around ageism here in the UAE when it comes to getting a job? Lawyer Thenji Moyo joins Jennifer to shed light on this Researchers say we live in an age where loneliness is affecting people of all ages, genders and nationalities and it's a particular issue here in the UAE, where working days are long and relationships can feel transient. And now, it seems, this lack of close relationships is being worsened by a rise in ghosting - when a friend leaves your life with no warning and no explanation. So, why is ghosting on the rise and what does it mean for how we form friendships? We find out from Clinical Psychologist Dr Asha Dullabh. And a new UNICEF‐led UN study has found that nearly 60% of young people have experienced secondary trauma from consuming media content featuring graphic images of conflict online. Dr. Aseel Takshe, Acting Dean of the School of Health Sciences and Psychology at Canadian University Dubai tells us what it means about our online environment and what parents and young adults need to know.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New research confirms what many already feel, ageism in Australian workplaces starts as early as 51. But what can job seekers over 50+ do to stay competitive? In this episode, experienced HR consultant Shakun Narang discusses how age bias shows up in hiring and promotions and shares practical strategies for those looking to switch roles or re-enter the workforce.

This episode is dedicated to The Clipse, their amazing new album “Let God Sort Em Out” and Hip Hop itself. Joining me on this pod is my good friend and wiseman Honja aka Jack Nickelz who also has Jake The Snake EP thats out right now.

Despite Australia's retirement age now being 67, workers aged 51 to 55 are often considered to be older workers during hiring processes. The finding comes in new research from the Australian H-R Institute and the Australian Human Rights Commission. But it isn't news for workers in this age group, as several previous studies already found people in their 50s face age discrimination at work. So why is it so difficult to challenge discrimination against old age in the workforce?

About Corrine Auman, PhD:  Corinne Auman is the founder of Choice Care Navigators, a company dedicated to helping families navigate the aging process. She is dedicated to fostering personal growth, resilience, and authentic living at every age. Corinne's passion lies in reshaping how we perceive older adulthood, a vision she beautifully encapsulates in her groundbreaking book, "Keenagers." Corinne is on a mission to change the conversation around aging. In a culture where many avoid thinking about older adulthood until the last minute, she urges us to embrace aging in a positive light. Her story is not just about her successes; it's a call for all of us to care about aging, dispelling myths and embracing the beauty and potential of every stage of life.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Corrine discussed the complexities of aging and the societal perceptions surrounding it. She emphasized the importance of a positive outlook on aging, arguing that it can empower families to plan effectively for their older loved ones, contrasting this with the panic often induced by negative cultural messages. We also addressed the challenges faced by caregivers, many of whom are older adults themselves. Corinne discussed the importance of self-care for caregivers and the need for expert guidance in navigating senior health care complexities. She provided insights on when families should consider transitioning elderly parents to senior living communities, advising preliminary research to ease the decision-making process during health crises. Corinne addressed the modern perspective on retirement, noting that individuals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are rethinking what it means to retire. Corinne pointed out that there are no longer mandatory retirement ages, allowing people to continue working while collecting social security. Many choose to transition from their first careers to new ventures, such as consulting or starting businesses. We discussed the appropriate time for families to seek senior living communities for elderly parents. Corinne Auman detailed the spectrum of senior living options, from independent living to skilled nursing, highlighting the differences in care and support provided. She stressed the importance of researching these options in advance to alleviate stress during potential health crises. Corinne highlighted the unique stressors faced by adult caregivers and recommended seeking specialized therapy services. She detailed the differences between home care, which involves assistance with daily tasks, and home health, which includes medical therapies ordered by a doctor. Auman also noted that costs for these services can vary significantly by location and often require private payment.   Resource from Corrine Auman: Link to Corinne's book "Keenagers" - https://amzn.to/3Y6bmqP   Connect With Corrine Auman: Website: https://www.CorinneAuman.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558512157337   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keenagersbook/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinneauman/     Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

What if I told you that the women whose images plaster stadium walls, who bring in millions for the NFL, were making less per hour than a Starbucks barista? The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Netflix phenomenon exposed something we all suspected but didn't want to say out loud—that our obsession with perfection comes at a brutal cost. Meanwhile, our beloved Sex and the City characters returned in And Just Like That, only to reveal how privilege and aging intersect in ways that make us cringe harder than a bad first date.In today's episode, we're diving deep into both cultural moments that had us all talking. From Kelly Finglass and Judy Trammell's leadership styles to the body image pressures that come with those iconic uniforms, we're unpacking what these shows really tell us about conformity, empowerment, and the price of looking perfect. Plus, I'm serving up some serious tea about ageism in pop culture and why Carrie Bradshaw's character development makes me want to throw my Manolos at the TV.In this episode, we cover:How the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders' 400% pay raise happened and why it still might not be enoughThe real story behind those uniforms and what they reveal about body image standardsWhy Kelly Finglass and Judy Trammell's leadership approach changed between seasonsHow Armani's alopecia journey became a powerful moment for diversity and representationThe brutal truth about conformity versus standing out in high-pressure environmentsWhy And Just Like That feels so tone-deaf compared to the original Sex and the CityHow fashion and privilege intersect in ways that make beloved characters insufferableThe ageism double standard that keeps women invisible after 50This episode got me thinking about how we navigate the tension between fitting in and standing out, whether we're 25 or 55. Are we moving forward as a society, or are we just dressing up the same old standards in prettier packages?Ready to start your own conversation about culture, authenticity, and what it means to reinvent yourself?

Think about that. Think about how many millions of dollars each football player gets paid to sign on with the Dallas Cowboys, yet the cheerleaders themselves... their images, their movements. It is the cheerleaders. Like they are their own brand.""There's so much of like, you will get kicked off, right? Like you will, you must conform to a certain standard of pleasingness for people to choose you, for you to fit in. There's so much conformity that happens within this, but also they are encouraged to stand out, but not too much, but stand out.""What made Sex and the City so clever and funny? And back then it really was that it was just this like super cheeky dialogue that was very quippy. They would use a lot of puns. They would be very funny.

What happens when the big job ends and no one's lining up to offer another? For Andrew Middleton, that moment sparked an identity crisis, financial panic, and ultimately, a radical reinvention. In this honest and hopeful episode, Andrew shares how it felt to be “airlifted out of relevance” in his 50s, facing ageism, self-doubt, and the loss of structure that once defined his life. But he didn't stop there.

In a culture obsessed with youth and novelty, the Torah offers a radically different vision: “Mipnei seivah takum”—rise before the elderly. This week, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the mitzvah of honoring elders as both an ethical imperative and a powerful opportunity for mindfulness. Drawing on Jewish wisdom, comedy legend Mel Brooks, and spiritual practice, Josh invites us to confront our own discomfort with aging and instead embrace the dignity, humanity, and wisdom of our elders.

Kate is an international model, writer and yoga teacher, who is passionate about using her voice to challenge outdated ideas in fashion and beyond. Kate has been modelling for 4 decades and has worked for so many incredible designers and iconic brands, appearing in fashion shoots and runway shows all over the world. Now at 57, Kate is speaking out against ageism and advocating for change. In this conversation we hear how Kate got started in modelling, and by the time she was 19, was living in New York and flying all over the world. Kate shares some of the most juicy stories from her early modelling days, which you won’t want to miss. Kate talks about the 2 different worlds and lives she was living - there was the model Kate and the yogi Kate, and she describes the full circle moment, later in her career when she was hired by an activewear brand as a yoga teacher and her two worlds integrated in the most beautiful way. Kate also opens up about the ways she has experienced ageism in her career and how ageism really is the last ‘ism’ that needs to be kicked out of the room! We couldn’t agree more. It was so lovely speaking to Kate. She is graceful, grounded and full of insight and we were so grateful to have this conversation with her in the studio. We hope you love it too.

Chinese authorities and companies are taking steps to address the so-called "curse of 35", a discriminatory hiring practice that sidelines or dismisses workers age 35 and older due to labor costs. More employers across the country are easing age restrictions in their recruitment policies in an effort to promote fairer hiring.中国政府部门和企业正采取措施应对所谓的 “35 岁魔咒”—— 这是一种歧视性招聘做法，因劳动力成本问题将 35 岁及以上的劳动者边缘化或解雇。全国越来越多雇主在招聘政策中放宽年龄限制，以推动更公平的招聘。In Heyuan, Guangdong province, a government recruitment program announced earlier this month that 355 new employees would be hired for government departments this year. The general age requirement is 18 to 35 years old, but that age limit has been extended to 40 for candidates with master's degrees or for demobilized military personnel and their family members.在广东省河源市，本月早些时候公布的一项政府招聘计划显示，今年政府部门将新招聘 355 名工作人员。一般年龄要求为 18 至 35 岁，但拥有硕士学位的应聘者、退役军人及其家属的年龄限制放宽至 40 岁。Candidates as old as 45 who have doctorates and those up to age 50 with senior professional titles may also apply for the program.拥有博士学位的应聘者年龄可放宽至 45 岁，具有高级专业技术职称的应聘者年龄可放宽至 50 岁。Other provinces and cities have introduced similar changes. In November, Shanghai said applicants for the city's civil service exam must be between 18 and 35 years old, with the age limit raised to 40 for those with master's or doctoral degrees.其他省市也推出了类似调整。去年 11 月，上海市表示，该市公务员考试的报考者年龄须在 18 至 35 岁之间，拥有硕士或博士学位者年龄限制放宽至 40 岁。Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals Holdings, a major State-owned enterprise specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, biomedicine and healthcare, announced in May that it welcomes jobseekers under the age 45, with the cap extended to 50 for applicants with notable work experience.广州医药集团是一家专注于中医药、生物医药和医疗健康领域的大型国有企业，在 5 月宣布，欢迎 45 岁以下的求职者应聘，具有显著工作经验的应聘者年龄上限可放宽至 50 岁。"Companies generally seek to hire employees in economical and reasonable ways. That means workers must produce value equal to their pay, or companies may prefer younger candidates who have more energy and cost less," said Zhaopin, a leading online recruitment platform.领先的在线招聘平台智联招聘表示：“企业通常寻求以经济合理的方式雇佣员工。这意味着劳动者必须创造与薪酬相等的价值，否则企业可能更倾向于选择精力更充沛、成本更低的年轻候选人。”Cheng Yang, a senior partner at Beijing-based law firm Lantai Partners, echoed that view in a recent interview with Workers' Daily, a major national newspaper. Cheng said age caps are often used to control labor costs, as older workers may incur higher expenses for wages, healthcare and benefits.最近，北京兰台律师事务所高级合伙人程阳接受《工人日报》采访时对此观点表示赞同。程阳称，年龄限制常被用来控制劳动力成本，因为年长员工可能在工资、医疗和福利方面产生更高费用。However, she emphasized that older employees tend to be more experienced and skilled, and that eliminating age discrimination is becoming increasingly urgent. China began implementing a policy this year to progressively raise the statutory retirement age over 15 years — from 60 to 63 for men and from 50 or 55 to 55 or 58 for women, depending on the occupation.然而，她强调，年长员工往往更有经验和技能，消除年龄歧视变得日益迫切。中国今年开始实施一项政策，将在 15 年内逐步提高法定退休年龄 —— 男性从 60 岁提高到 63 岁，女性根据职业不同从 50 岁或 55 岁提高到 55 岁或 58 岁。Li Xinyu, 33, who works at an advertising agency in Beijing, said she feels growing insecurity and anxiety as she ages in a youth-driven industry.33 岁的李新宇在北京一家广告公司工作，她表示，在一个以年轻人为主导的行业中，随着年龄增长，她感到越来越没有安全感和焦虑。"Younger people are always favored in our industry because employers believe they have more creative ideas," Li said. "That puts a lot of pressure on those of us nearing 35."“在我们这个行业，年轻人总是更受青睐，因为雇主认为他们有更多创意想法，” 李新宇说，“这给我们这些接近 35 岁的人带来了很大压力。”She added that she has enrolled in numerous training programs over the past two years to stay current and enhance her skills, and hopes the government will introduce stricter rules to protect workers in her age group.她补充说，在过去两年里，她参加了许多培训项目，以保持与时俱进并提升技能，并希望政府能出台更严格的规定来保护她这个年龄段的劳动者。In recent years, China has rolled out several national policies aimed at curbing age discrimination. In September, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, China's Cabinet, released a guideline calling for high-quality and full employment. The guideline pledged to eliminate unreasonable restrictions and discrimination in employment related to gender and age.近年来，中国已推出多项旨在遏制年龄歧视的国家政策。去年 9 月，中共中央和国务院发布了一份关于高质量充分就业的指导意见。该指导意见承诺消除就业中与性别和年龄相关的不合理限制和歧视。Cheng, from Lantai Partners, said stronger legal measures are needed to define and penalize age discrimination. She recommended that authorities establish a system to screen job ads for biased age limits, and publicly name and penalize companies that engage in discriminatory hiring practices.兰台律师事务所的程阳表示，需要更强有力的法律措施来界定和惩罚年龄歧视。她建议有关部门建立一个系统，筛查招聘广告中存在偏见的年龄限制，并公开点名和惩罚从事歧视性招聘做法的企业。重点词汇age discrimination /eɪdʒ dɪˌskrɪmɪˈneɪʃn/ 年龄歧视recruitment policy /rɪˈkruːtmənt ˈpɑːləsi/ 招聘政策statutory retirement age /ˈstætʃətɔːri rɪˈtaɪərmənt eɪdʒ/ 法定退休年龄labor costs /ˈleɪbər kɔːsts/ 劳动力成本

Recruiting Future is a podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. This episode is about Talent. While we're seeing a growing awareness of ageism, the reality is that it is regularly ignored as an inclusion factor. The impact of this is staggering. AARP estimates that ageism costs the US economy $850 billion in lost GDP annually, and research shows that intergenerational teams consistently outperform age-segregated ones in terms of productivity and innovation. Yet, unlike other forms of discrimination, age bias is openly accepted in hiring via things like age-coded job descriptions and ATS systems that filter by graduation dates. So what will it take for organizations to recognize that age discrimination isn't just morally wrong - it's actively destroying their competitive advantage? My guest this week is Maureen Clough, host of the 'It Gets Late Early' podcast and advocate against ageism on a mission to expose this universal form of discrimination. In our conversation, she reveals practical strategies for both employers and job seekers to combat age bias while building truly inclusive workplaces that work for everyone. In the interview, we discuss: Is ageism getting worse? The $850 billion impact on GDP How ageism is baked into some recruiting processes Why proving age discrimination in the US is so difficult. What should TA do to combat ageism? The power of intergenerational teams and mentorship AI's impact on entry-level jobs and Gen Z's involuntary disconnection from the workplace Strategies for older job seekers What should the future look like?

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Ashton Applewhite, author of 'This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism.' They discuss Ashton's journey into understanding ageism, the current state of awareness, the importance of policy, and the intersectionality of ageism with other social issues. Ashton introduces her initiative, YODA, aimed at fostering intergenerational connections to combat ageism. About AshtonAn internationally recognized expert on ageism, Ashton Applewhite is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and a co-founder of the Old School Hub. She speaks widely at venues that have included the United Nations and the TED mainstage, and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and make age a criterion for diversity. In 2022 the United Nations named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.Key TakeawaysOldSchool.info is an anti-ageism clearinghouse—a central repository of tools and resources for the emerging movement against ageism.Ageism is a pervasive issue that affects all aspects of life. We are all biased, but we can control our attitudes about aging. The first step in any social change is awareness, because most bias is unconscious and we can't challenge something when we don't even know exists. Building intergenerational connections is vital for combating ageism. The YODA initiative (Youngers and Olders Dismantling Ageism) aims to connect younger and older generations as a tool to end ageism.Older people resent younger people for having more social and cultural visibility, and young people resent older people for having more political access and moreeconomic clout. Both are true.Fear divides us and people make money off fear. When people are divided, they tend to not come together to change ways of thinking or the ways institutions work.

Born and raised in Los Angeles to Egyptian immigrant parents, Rita spent her early adult years as an activist with Queer Nation and ACT UP before building a successful career in film and television marketing. After meeting her German wife 23 years ago, Rita was forced to leave the US due to immigration laws that didn't recognize same-sex relationships.At age 55, Rita has reinvented herself as a musician, discovering that singing helped cure her debilitating panic attacks. She now performs regularly in rural Germany, including in churches—places she once protested against. Rita donates her streaming royalties to Immigration Equality, an organization supporting LGBTQ+ immigrants.Key Quotes"I was just an angry bird. And I wanted to put myself on the street and stop traffic and shut down these church services." - On her early activism"My heart is always in two places.

In today's episode, we continue our coverage of the webinar series of the 2025 International Day Against Harassment and for Inclusion in the World of Work, an event organised by Rezalliance in partnership with FER Geneva, Narratives of Purpose, and Strukturelle.This second conversation addresses the intersections of gender, ageism, and workplace dynamics, highlighting the challenges faced by older women in particular.

The 411 on Ageism & How To End It Faster I Janine Vanderburg   For the life of me, given the choice between a strong, more profitable business and letting go of the back-assward stigma around age, the logic is clear. But is it?    Like me, Janine Vanderburg isn't shy about why the math isn't mathing the business reasons why it's about impact not age..    Here's what you'll find out:  What employers don't want you to know  You think it's your resume that needs tweaking or  your interview techniques but What if the real obstacle was something entirely different? What if the system itself was rigged against you in ways you've never considered—not because you're not qualified, but because of your date of birth.  Who's impacted by ageism, or who isn't? When there's a problem like ageism in hiring, it "goes in both directions." As Janine Vanderburg reveals, we're not just talking about discrimination against those 40-plus. "Youngerism" is equally "alive and kicking." If you've been ghosted after interviews, if you've watched less qualified candidates get positions you were perfect for, it might not be you—it might be your birth year. Let's talk about the numbers they're not talking about Last year alone, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received 16,000 complaints of age discrimination. When surveyed, over 80% of respondents believed they had experienced workplace age discrimination. Even more shocking: Resume Builder's surveys found hiring managers systematically screen out both applicants over 60 AND those under 27. And if you work with AI? 90% of hiring managers don't want to hire anybody over 35 for roles involving artificial intelligence—despite experienced professionals often being the best AI power users. Three Places Ageism Is Sabotaging Your Career (And What to Do About It) Inside your own mind: When you think "I'm too young/old for this position" before even applying In hiring practices: When recruiters make assumptions about your abilities based solely on graduation dates Embedded in systems: When AI screening tools filter you out before a human ever sees your application The Demographic Shift That Will Change Everything By 2030—just five years away—there will be more people over 65 than under 18. Companies unprepared for this reality will be scrambling for talent while others thrive. Will you be positioned to capitalize on this inevitable shift? What Smart Job Seekers Do Differently As Janine advises, "You can be willing to fight to end ageism, and you can also try to preserve your financial security." Both can be true at once. The wisest approach? Learn the unwritten rules, navigate the system strategically, and position yourself where your true value is recognized. Listen now to discover how to turn what looks like an obstacle into your greatest competitive advantage.
