The workforce is aging, but many leaders are still acting as if nothing has changed. On this episode of Leadership NOW with Dan Pontefract, CEO and author Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, a global expert on gender, generational shifts, and longevity, unpacks what organizations must do to stay ahead. She explains why age diversity is a leadership blind spot, how demographic shifts are reshaping talent strategies, and what wise leaders are doing to future-proof their organizations. Avivah challenges outdated assumptions about work, career longevity, and leadership. She explores the opportunities that come with longer, multi-stage careers—and why companies that fail to adapt will struggle to compete.

Ageism, the discrimination or prejudice against individuals based on their age, remains a pervasive issue in today's workplaces. Recent studies reveal that nearly 65% of workers have experienced age-based discrimination at some point in their careers.In today's episode Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, a thought leader in gender and generational balance and a CEO of 20-first, discusses the four phases of women's careers and the overlaps between gender and age. Avivah also highlights the need for companies to leverage the talent and potential of older workers in the 21st century because embracing age diversity isn't just about compliance or meeting quotas; it's about unlocking the full potential of every employee and creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best.Click here for show notes and resources mentioned in this episode. 

In this bonus episode we meet with fellow INSEAD alumna Avivah Wittenberg-Cox advocates for new thinking in generational and gender balance. She is a consultant, coach and speaker on the rising impact of longevity on the people and on the workplace and provides advice to help businesses thrive. She is the author of seven books on gender, leadership and longevity and the host of the podcast 4-Quarter lives, where she applauds podcasts as a way to create “real conversations in a very noisy world”.   In this very real conversation we talk about Avivah's path to coaching and the importance of rethinking what we thought we knew about our lifespans, employment trajectories and retirement path. She draws upon her analogy of life having four quarters, and makes the point that most of us have discounted the potential of the third quarter – the years between 50 and 75.  We discuss the perils of trying to compress too much into the second quarter in particular – to try to “have it all” instead of spreading out goals and achievements.  We look at the endless potential of this phase and ask how employers can embrace this and in so doing promote more diversity in the workplace and more sustainable employment practices.  Given that Avivah is a coach we discuss the role of coaching and how it might be integrated into careers at an earlier stage than currently.  We also discuss continuing education and how universities and other institutions should adapt to the demand for lifelong learning.  Finally we look at the role of intuition, and how trusting one's instincts can be central to career success.   

The final episode of 2023 where we reflect on the wisdom shared throughout the year. We're delving into a treasure trove of insights from remarkable guests, each offering a unique facet of the journey towards a fulfilling life.

With advancements in healthcare, our lifespans are increasing to an additional 25 years. With this in mind, we must reshape our understanding of life, work, relationships, and how we choose to live.To help us navigate, we are joined by the remarkable Avivah Wittenberg Cox - a respected entrepreneur and advisor to global CEOs and leaders in over 40 countries. Avivah challenges us to view life through the lens of four quarters. She suggests that the third quarter, spanning from 50 to 75 years old, holds 25 new years with  countless possibilities—an opportunity for us to become how we're meant to be.Avivah's expertise extends across multiple domains. As a consultant, coach, writer, and speaker, she specializes in fostering generational and gender balance within the world's leading companies across various sectors. Avivah's passion is evident through her involvement as a board member of the UK National Innovation Centre of Aging and her role as an ambassador to the Stanford Center on Longevity.She's a regular contributor to Forbes and Harvard Business Review.

Victoria Tomlinson is joined by Avivah Wittenberg Cox in this latest podcast episode, as they discuss the future of retirement, the value of intergenerational collaboration, and the business case for embracing the aging workforce. Avivah is a thought leader renowned for her expertise in gender and generational balance. With over 20 years of consulting, coaching, and writing on these topics, she brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to the conversation. “We need good, educated talent and a lot of that is over 50 and nearing what was traditionally retirement. Using the word retirement is staying in an old paradigm – which is that we had this 3-stage life of education, then work, then retirement. This model is obsolete and no longer entirely relevant. Now it's about the 4-quarter life, and different ages and different stages require different things.” Why should corporates, professional firms and public sector organisations care about how people retire? Listen now to find out and prepare to reshape your perspective on retirement and the potential of an age-diverse workforce.

As you're creating your own encore career, less focus should be put on the idea of “ageing.” Rather, it's important you're able to shift your focus on longevity. That change of mindset alone brings about small changes and adaptations that are impactful in creating healthy foundations for the future. In today's episode, I'm going to review an article entitled, 10 Steps To Longevity For The Second Billion – Are We Ready? – written by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, where she talked about how two experts have explored conversations around longevity, AI included.

In this, the final episode of The Broad Experience, I talk to three women about what has changed for women at work during the past decade, and what remains to be done.I began this show in 2012. Back then women and the workplace was a little discussed topic, and almost no one was podcasting about it. But my own experiences at work had convinced me this subject deserved much more attention. And while one measly decade barely registers in the arc of history, it means something to those of us who live through it. There has definitely been progress during the years I've worked on this show. My guests are based all over the world. Branca Vianna is a longtime listener who lives in Rio de Janeiro. Today she is the founder and president of a highly successful podcast company in Brazil, Radio Novelo. Frequent guest Avivah Wittenberg-Cox is back in London after a stint at Harvard. She always has an intriguing take on where we are, and where we should go next. Heather McGregor, once known as Financial Times columnist Mrs. Moneypenny, was in one of my first podcasts, and I was delighted that she agreed to be in my last. She's now living and working in Dubai.I can't tell you how rewarding it's been to make this show during the last almost 11 years. Thanks for listening and for all the emails and other messages of support. It means a lot when you work alone from your closet. Onward. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if you woke up and suddenly realized you had more time?  Not just hours, days, or weeks, but decades? Avivah Wittenberg-Cox thinks about time in not only decades but in 25-year increments.  As someone who thought in her thirties she would be retired at age 60, she now finds herself starting anew again, refreshed by the ability to start something new because she may only be at the halfway point of her life. With this point of view, Avivah wrote a Harvard Business Review article that, instead of focusing on the challenges and stresses of being a working parent, she instead focused on the joy, knowing that this would be one of many life transitions. There were four areas that Avivah, looking back now, wished were easier to remember while she was in the middle of raising her family.  One of the most important was loving your spouse or partner and not demoting your relationship to the bottom of the pile. According to Avivah, "longevity means that, more than ever, we need to plan for change.  Using the gift of decades requires acknowledging their existence and deciding what you want to do with them.  People say you can't have it all, but the gift of time gives us new options to have a lot more than we ever thought possible."

IN THIS EPISODE:  People are living longer. Almost half of those born today will live to 100. But what does this mean for our future economy? And how does this impact the way we approach our careers and relationships? Thought-leader, writer, and entrepreneur, Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, joins our host, Philip Guarino, to answer these questions and more. Together, in this episode, they break down the new “Four Quarters” of life, and discuss the benefits of starting a new career at 50... and what to think about at 25! Avivah pulls from both her personal experience and her research findings to explain the opportunities brought to companies by the “longevity economy”: from untapped market potential in older demographics, to the growing pool of eligible hires. As an expert in the industry, Avivah is putting pressure on old norms and redefining what it means to be in your prime. Tune in, and find out how to rethink the framework of your career and beyond!   GUEST BIO: Avivah Wittenberg-Cox is CEO of 20-first, a global consulting firm working with companies interested in capturing the competitive advantage of gender, nationality and generational balance.

Ageism and sexism are sometimes described as a double-whammy that hits women later in life. Which is a bit worrying, because I'm 52 and wrapping up this show after a decade of production. Onto new things - I hope!My first guest lives in New Zealand and recently got back into the workforce in her fifties after being out for more than a decade. It feels like that notorious double-whammy is hitting her, yet it's impossible to truly measure. She wants people to know that many 50-plus women aren't coasting on a sea of contentment and financial security.Avivah Wittenberg-Cox agrees that ageism is rampant, but says we need to re-frame things if we're going to improve life for older workers. And that starts with educating employers about the advantages of maintaining and engaging 50-plus employees, a group that includes more women than ever before. It's up to us to do our part as well, she says, including “recognizing that usually what got you here isn't going to get you through the next phase.” As usual she's sprouting with ideas that I plan to use in my own next phase.

Today, I'm talking to Richard Leider. For over 40 years, Richard has been a Nationally Certified Master Career Counselor at Inventure – The Purpose Company. Richard has been studying purpose (and the purpose of movement) for decades. He's led expeditions around the world, climbed Kilimanjaro, and shared his insights in a powerful TEDx talk. He's also the author of 11 books, including three bestsellers.

He explores why purposeful aging is both accessible to all and fundamental to health, happiness, and longevity–and how to authentically become the person you were always meant to be. I was introduced to Richard's work by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, and now I'm a huge fan. In our conversation, we discuss the expeditions he's led in Tanzania, how he's helped people to find their new purpose and meaning in their post-career lifestyle, and how to reframe your life to focus on your greatest gifts.

The two key issues when it comes to changing the gender equation in society are birth control and education. Women empowerment has been on a rise. While some organisations are accepting the changes, there are some resisting the changes with respect to creating a nationality balanced and generational balanced environment. Our guest for today is Avivah Wittenberg Cox who is the Chief Executive officer of 20-First, a global consulting firm working with companies interested in capturing the competitive advantage of gender nationality and generational balance. Avivah believes that "Men and women together are far stronger than either gender on their own." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tbcy/support

Avivah Wittenberg-Cox is an award winning and best-selling author, teacher and leading expert on gender balance.  She began her career in computer programming, a male dominated industry. In 1996, she set up a women’s network (PWNGlobal.net) to support women in business and discovered that if you put 30 women in a room together, they’ll support and empower each other.  However, companies were failing to facilitate women’s newfound confidence and instead, were blocking their growth and had no idea why or how to change.  Avivah found her purpose helping companies adapt leadership, cultures and systems to 21st century talent and customers. Balance isn’t a women’s issue, it’s a business issue and the fact is that gender balanced businesses perform better.  Named in ELLE magazine as one of the TOP 40 Women Leading Change and  celebrated by PWN Global with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Gender Balanced Leadership, Avivah continues to help companies around the world achieve success through improving gender balance.   What You Will Hear in This Episode:  The parallel approach of empowering women and empowering leaders.

The emergence and importance of women leaders. Corporate and personal reimagining of what a career actually looks like over decades. Midlife Rethink Workshop   Quotes: “Gender balance is a management competency that we are not educating people on.” “It’s really easy to check the commitment of CEO’s on gender balancing by looking at their own teams” “Generational balance becomes a really urgent imperative for companies and countries that want to keep healthy economic bases and talent pools.”   Mentioned: Workshop link https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-midlife-rethink-with-avivah-wittenberg-cox-bonnie-marcus-tickets-132773847151 20-First Late Love: Mating In Maturity Avivahwittenbergcox.com NotDoneYet! book

In the last episode you heard Jessi Hempel and I ask, what is happening to women’s careers right now? So many of us are still at home, often with family underfoot, attempting to manage children’s schooling or simply care for them while also doing our own jobs. Much has been written about the ‘women’s recession’ and the enormous pressure women are under during this pandemic.In this show Avivah Wittenberg-Cox offers a more hopeful perspective.She sees this crisis is an opportunity for organizations to change the way they do things and make the workplace fairer for everyone. She says a generation clash between men is part of the current problem. And she says many of us will undergo a big shift in our careers in the months and years ahead, whether we welcome it or not.

In this episode we have two leading platform thinkers on the show: Marshall Van Alstyne, Questrom Chair Professor at Boston University and Geoffrey Parker, professor of engineering at the Thayer School of Dartmouth College. They are both visiting scholars at the MIT Initiative for the Digital Economy and co-chair the annual MIT Platform Summit (see references below)Marshall Van Alstyne and Geoffrey Parker - together with Sangeet Choudary - are the authors of Platform Revolution: How Networked Markets Are Transforming the Economy - and How to Make Them Work for You, from 2016. As originators of the concept of the inverted firm, they were further joint winners of the Thinkers50 2019 Digital Thinking Award. In this conversation, we talk about what democratising access to data means for the ability of players in a platform-ecosystem context to innovate and how regulation should be conceived participatory and ex ante. With creating human value as the North star, Marshall and Geoffrey ponder that we might want to see the creation of a Magna Carta of citizens rights for how we should be able to operate and influence on powerful platforms.Remember that you can find the show notes and transcripts from all our episodes on our own Medium publication.  Here are some important links from the conversation: Find out more about Marshall and Geoffrey’s work> Geoffrey G.

You’ve probably seen some of the stories: women leaders around the world are “stepping up to show the world how to manage a messy patch for our human family.” I’m quoting one of this week’s guests, Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, from her Forbes piece on women leaders’ success during the pandemic. She and other writers on this topic make the same point: when you look at countries with the best coronavirus outcomes so far, they often have one thing in common - a woman at the top. In this week’s show Avivah and Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, author of Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders? discuss the leadership styles we’re seeing during this global crisis, why Andrew Cuomo can chat about recipes on TV where Jacinda Ardern probably couldn’t, and whether today’s female leaders will change anything for women in the future.

Let Me Preach is the podcast that talks about the day to day topic. It is important to read the documents share before (if you are not aware).  The Egg or The chicken? Which came first?  In a society, information is the power of influence. If you have the audience to your information, you assure yourself a strong reach. In the game of information, who is winning?  Does it mean, that you are entitled to all the right beyond you information that you sharing or exposing? The art of creation,  the culture, the knowledge are something as an individual, we are proud of. The story of today is about Charlotte Seck a writer and journalist for Amina Magazine who wrote an article about feminism in our government. That article speaks about the women leader of their country's economy during Covid19. [article below].  And  Avivah Wittenberg-cox. who also has her article published in Forbes Magazines.   Charlotte has taken over her social media audience for denouncing the misbehavior of action to share her story that her article & therefore her intellectual property has been taken.  Naturally,  We went to verify what it has been said and analyze this claim with precautious eyes.  My opinions stay on this subject in the gray area...still waiting for more to go full-on my opinions to cover more about this interesting topic. The episode is trying to get to the bottom of the story by comparing those differents articles.  Thank you for listening!  Keep up with us on Parler, DM on Instagram, tweet us!  Give us feedback and don't forget to subscribe!  Articles : Charlotte Seck's article (use google translate, plagiarism checker) Avivah Wittenberg-Cox's article   & Interview Others Articles :  The Guardian  Ayush Tiwari Music break - Philip Micheal - Everybody's a story to tell  

In this episode of The Forum Podcast, Avivah Wittenberg-Cox (20-first), argues that women alone should not be leading the topic of gender balance in organizations. But how do we engage men and leaders in gender balancing businesses when the topic of gender balance is often framed as being created for women by women, leading to failed engagement by men and accountability by men, or even worse, creating divisive segmentation within men of a, “you're either with us or against us” mentality? Engaging men isn't about getting women to become ever more congratulatory about men who ‘get it.' Getting men to embrace balance requires leaders skilled at making the link between balance and business. When they buy it, and are skilled at selling it, everyone gets on board. Over the past decade, Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, CEO of 20-first, has worked on gender balance with 43 companies, across 32 countries, facilitated 231 debates with over 3,000 executives. She's worked in every possible sector, from finance and energy to tech and consumer goods. Here's what she learned and some of the questions she'll explore: Why is gender balance so often framed as a women's issue, discussed by and among women? How do we engage men and leaders in gender balancing businesses? Where do companies stand today and what's the next step? Learning Outcomes Understand the common pitfalls to avoid and why they remain so popular Introduce the concept of ‘gender bilingualism' as a management competency Outline ways of reframing gender balance more strategically and inclusively Avivah is joined by Tim Hollins, Director and Senior Consultant at 20-first.

The number of women running Fortune 500 companies is higher than it’s ever been. And yet, there are only 32 female CEOs on that list. So… why aren’t there more high-powered women in positions of power? There are a multitude of reasons, but according to Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, author of the article “If you Can’t Find a Spouse Who Supports Your Career, Stay Single,” part of the issue lies with the support these women are receiving.

First up, our family tree; or rather, our family web. According to geneticist Adam Rutherford, investigating the human genome can answer a lot of questions about human history. And the answers aren’t always expected. From mixing our genes with Neanderthals, to genetic lineages that would make Jaime Lannister proud, to the link (or lack thereof) between race health, Rutherford tells us all about the surprising secrets of our species. Then: The modern workplace wasn’t designed for women. And that’s a problem. Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, author of the article “If you Can’t Find a Spouse Who Supports Your Career, Stay Single,” talks about the barriers that prevent women from achieving their full potential. She also walks us through how high-achieving couples can actually maintain a balance between work and family. And, finally: If your life has become unsatisfying, confusing, and purposeless… consider designing a better one. Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, who teach a course at Stanford about constructing the life you want, are the co-authors of, “Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life.” They explain how you can use design principles to achieve your career goals. Their advice? Get curious, talk to people in different fields, learn about the nuances of their jobs, and take baby steps towards your next goal.

"When you see the countries that have been run by women, they’re not necessarily the Anglo-Saxon countries." In this extra episode we're back with Avivah Wittenberg-Cox. She's fresh from 30 years of living in France, and a keen observer of how gender plays out all over the world. "Anglo-Saxon cultures do not like, embrace, or value femininity," she says. Ouch.

This time we're talking about couplehood and careers. My first guest is shocked that her mentees' boyfriends refuse to marry them until they - the men - are the main breadwinner. My second guest isn't surprised at all. In this episode we talk about who supports whom in heterosexual and same-sex couples, and what that support looks like. We discuss how dual-career couples can maintain partnerships where each person gets what they want and need. And we get tips on using team-building techniques to good effect at home. With Diane Reichenberger and Avivah Wittenberg-Cox. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Simmering resentments over whose career comes first. Bickering over household tasks. Arguments over who should pick up the kids this time. This is the portrait of two-career coupledom in much of the popular media. But for a lot of couples, the reality is much rosier. Mutually supportive relationships let us take career risks, help us be more resilient to setbacks, and even “lean in” at work. In this episode, we talk with three experts to help us paint a picture of what a truly supportive dual-career relationship looks like, and understand how to get our own relationships closer to that ideal. Guests: Jennifer Petriglieri, Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, and Stephanie Coontz. Our theme music is Matt Hill’s “City In Motion,” provided by Audio Network.

On this week's innovation show we shine a light on the lack of gender balance in the workplace. Bringing balanced thinking into the workplace means different thinking, in a world craving different thinking. Representing 100% of your customers inevitably leads to innovation and breakthroughs, yet half the population is often underserved or misunderstood.  In parallel, 60% of today's global graduating classes female, yet they are entering workplaces designed for their fathers. This is not a case of fairness, when 60% of the talent and 80% of the market is female, this is no longer a diversity dimension, it's the future! Avivah Wittenberg-Cox is CEO of the leading gender consultancy, 20-first, and a world authority on leadership, gender and business.  Avivah suggests we stop Fixing the Women, and start adapting the workplace to 21st-century talent and markets.  That's where innovation lies. Right here, right now. Not on the other side of the world, or in Silicon Valley's latest app. But sitting right there, on the other side of the kitchen table. You can find out more about Avivah, her consulting, books and keynotes here: http://20-first.com/

How to maximise the potential of 100% of your talent pool and how to reach 100% of your costumer base? What language we need to be using for it to happen? We discuss this and how companies need to adapt to the 21st century with Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, CEO of the consultancy 20-first, thought-leader, author, speaker.

In this show we reconnect with a previous guest, Avivah Wittenberg-Cox. You won't hear her use expressions like 'women's leadership'. We talk about the concept of balance, nature versus nurture, why companies have to stop looking for women to fit their cultures - and why internal women's networking groups may be a waste of time.

Episode 44: Moving from Gender Diversity to Gender BalanceGuest: Avivah Wittenberg-Cox Welcome back and thank you for joining me again for this week’s episode of Women Rocking Wall Street. I have really been looking forward to this chat, ever since I read my guest’s content in the Harvard Business Review. Avivah Wittenberg-Cox is a prolific speaker and writer. As CEO of 20-first, Avivah works with top management teams from international companies to identify opportunities to create more balance within their organization, primarily around gender and culture. Having active, strategic debates with the executive team is a constant occurrence for Avivah. This helps the teams understand what the gender topic is and how best to lead a more “gender bilingual” organization. If gender balance isn’t established within an organization from the start, it’s not usually going to happen naturally. It takes three things to create balance: leadership, culture shift, and systems that are supportive and adaptive to the 21st century. Changing the balance within an organization is fairly simple. Most companies become frustrated with their lack of success when trying to create gender balance. Therefore, the executive team is open to suggestions and advice on where and how to move forward – which is where 20-first comes in. Avivah recommends we stop using the phrase ‘gender diversity’ because it frames the females as one diversity among many. By using the term ‘gender balance’, we’re helping create a movement that has been occurring throughout the 21st century. It's now gaining some strong momentum which will positively impact businesses and relationships. To learn more about Avivah and to find resources on how to promote gender balance, visit 20-first.com.
