What happens when bright young people are left to their own devices? With Jump Start the Aging Workforce internships, JAWS, high school students not only finished one internship, they launched another self-directed experiment to connect with seniors in long term care. Students were so interested in learning more about the seniors they met in long term care, they decided to start a story project to continue the blossoming relationships. This project includes multi-media platforms to tell the stories; there is music, poetry, painting, photography, written word and much more. With the support of Long-Term Care Ombudsmen, we are happy to know this project launched during Residents Rights Month, October, which is an opportunity to reaffirm that seniors in long term care are unique people with rich histories.Learn more at: https://ppacg.org/pikes-peak-area-agency-on-agingOr call 719-471-2096BEACON Senior News is a proud sponsor/partner for this podcast.

In Part 2 of his conversation, Tokyo-based American Gary Bremermann moves beyond his own story to share the frameworks and realities that shape career reinvention today. From his Seven Steps to Career Clarity to his candid views on Japan's ageist hiring market, Gary offers a Gen X blueprint for change: slow, thoughtful, grounded in values, and fiercely human. For anyone tired of chasing titles and ready to build a career worth living on their own terms, this episode delivers both the hard truths and the hope.>>Coaching the Opportunity Seekers“Mid-career professionals weren't asking what they wanted—they were asking what was available.”Gary explains why so many talented people get trapped following default paths—and how coaching helps them reconnect with what they actually want.>>Your Story Is the Starting Point“Your past holds the clues to your future—you just have to read it differently.”He breaks down why career clarity begins with mining your real life for patterns, strengths, and missed signals.>>Values Before Vision“Forget the mission statement—start with your values.”Gary shares why starting with personal values, not corporate buzzwords, is the foundation for sustainable career growth.>>Practical Dreaming“One dream job without limits. One dream job grounded in reality.”He explains how a two-track dream job exercise helps people balance ambition with achievable moves.>>Japan's Aging Workforce and Recruiting Reality“The labor pool is shrinking, but the hiring practices haven't caught up.”Gary shares firsthand insights on ageism, cultural resistance to change, and why Japan remains one of the hardest recruiting markets in the world._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Gary Bremermann  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Walton _______________________ Mentioned in This Episode Poem - The Summer Day by Mary Oliver _______________________ Wise Quotes  On Why Phased Retirement Works  "What's interesting, Joe, is that at Optima, we've always had a flexible work environment and we didn't really think about it as flex retirement because we've always allowed employees to work whatever hours made sense for them. But as we looked at our workforce, we realized that many of our employees are over 50, some over 60 and some are even 70 and over. And what we find with these employees is they have a wealth of knowledge. They are so experienced, they've worked in so many different industries, and they can really add a ton of value to our clients. And so if we can capture these people's attention and get them to work with us on hours that make sense for them, whether it's 16 hours a week or 30 hours a week or somewhere in between, it is incredibly efficient. It is such a huge value add to our clients. The employees themselves really get a chance to work for different companies and not fully retire but still be engaged and many of them say, keeps them young."

Would it surprise you to learn that the fastest-growing segment of today's workforce is not Millenials or Gen. Z - it's Boomers? According to Gallop, that demographic is growing at 10,000 people per day. Stop letting your most experienced employees walk out the door, or worse, getting hired by your competition. Why not encourage them to stay, if only in a part-time capacity, instead of ushering them out the door? Adults can learn new things given the correct set of circumstances and in an environment conducive to learning.

Welcome to Humans of HR.  We're a podcast and a social movement focused on the everyday challenges people experience at work. Powered by the team at Leapgen. In this episode we talk with Nick Freedman, an accomplished leadership coach who is now focused on teaching people how to successfully transition from the end of their career into a great retirement, with renewed purpose, as well as finding and recruiting a successor before departing.  Nick and i had a fascinating and salient conversation about what he calls Retirement 2.0 and how individuals should take a proactive approach to managing their own game plan for retirement that isn't just focused on their finances, and how organisations can elevate their EVP and manage succession risk by focusing on the important cohort who are transitioning to retirement. Here's the link for the Spiral Dynamics book that Nick mentions in the episode. https://www.booktopia.com.au/spiral-dynamics-prof-don-edward-beck/book/9781405133562.html?And if you want to learn more about Nick's work and how to access his programs, here's how to find him.https://www.retireonpurpose.co/hr-partner Email - connect@nickfreedman.com.au We'd love to get your feedback, topic suggestions and please refer us to other awesome humans that you know who would love to listen.

Episode #86. This episode discusses the impact of ageism in marketing - both externally for our customers and consumers, but also internally in the workplace.  Ageism is categorising or stereotyping people based on their age that has a negative outcome – either misrepresentation or not being represented at all. In a study*, 88% of over-55s said they feel unhappy about the way advertising treats them – not only is this a missed commercial opportunity but we have a responsibility to shift perceptions for a more respectful and inclusive society as a whole.  Abby's guest is Nicky Bullard, Group Chief Creative Officer for MullenLowe Group UK and a creative powerhouse for the advertising industry. Nicky was named as one of Ad Age's Leading Women of Europe, had featured in the Financial Times HERoes List 3 times, was recently featured in Campaign's Top 20 Creatives and was just named Campaign's Agency Leader of The Year for Customer Engagement.  In this episode, Nicky shares why she is so passionate about challenging the representation of over 50s, missed commercial opportunities and the impact of stock imagery and casting for stereotypes. Plus Nicky's career highs and lows.  *The Invisible Powerhouse report mentioned in this episode can be download here: https://www.mullenlowegroupuk.com/report/the-invisible-powerhouse-report  Host: Abigail (Abby) Dixon FCIM/ICF | LinkedIn Guest: Nicky Bullard | LinkedIn This podcast is sponsored by Labyrinth Marketing  www.labyrinthmarketing.co.uk    The Whole Marketer podcast is here to support and empower the people behind brands and businesses with the latest technical tools, soft and leadership skills and personal understanding for a fulfilling marketing career and life as a whole.

The U.S. workforce is likely to shrink in the coming decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as more people get to retirement age and less people have children. That aging population could also lengthen the time of labor shortages. We spoke to Alfred Marcus of the University of Minnesota about it. Democrats are adding a provision on prescription drugs to the Biden social spending plan. We also look into how bus drivers, who have been indispensable during the pandemic in many parts of the country, are asking for better wages and working conditions.

What second career ideas are you considering? The best second career jobs aren't often posted on job sites - you create them. One approach is to build a portfolio career, consisting of several activities that leverage your skills, experience, and interests. Our guest, Kate Schaefers, shares her story of how she created a portfolio career - and her observations on how Baby Boomers and organizations are evolving. I discuss with Kate: What led her to build a portfolio career. How the Advanced Careers Initiative at the University of Minnesota was created – and how it works. What attracts people to the program. The benefits, and perhaps challenges, of multigenerational groups. Her perspective on working in the second half of life. The role of lifelong learning. What innovative organizations are doing to tap into the skills and knowledge of older workers. The mission of The Encore Network.  Her advice on how to create a portfolio career/life. Kate joins us from Minnesota. __________________________ Bio Kate Schaefers weaves a portfolio of work into a career with one unifying theme: to help individuals and organizations shine. She is Executive Director, University of Minnesota Advanced Careers (UMAC) Initiative, a gap year for experienced professionals as they transition from career jobs into meaningful post-career lives.

She is an adjunct psychologist and coach with The Bailey Group. Kate is a skilled educator, facilitator and trainer. She has taught graduate-level courses at both the University of Minnesota and the University of St. Thomas and was part of a team of educators that designed a coaching certificate program. Kate is actively involved in nonprofit and community work. She is Volunteer State President of AARP-MN, convening the AARP Executive Council and contributing to local and regional strategies for the organization, especially around the aging workforce, intergenerational teams and caregiving. Kate was appointed to the Citizens Commission on Minnesota’s Aging Workforce.

She received the Jules Kerlan Outstanding Achievement Award in 2012 from the Minnesota Career Development Association for contributions to the field of career development. __________________________ Wise Quotes On Building a Portfolio Career "It's hard to find a ready-made cookie-cutter job when what you're wanting to do is something new - and something that there's no job description for. So this is how I ended up coming to a portfolio career. I looked at my skills, I tried to distill down what am I good at? What stands out with me?
