Podcasts about midcareer

Entering a new phase of life after raising children and concluding a long-term career can be both liberating and daunting. This transition, often marked by an "empty nest" and the end of full-time work, presents unique challenges and opportunities. The question "What now?" is common as men and women seek to redefine their identities, set new goals, and find renewed purpose. In the year 1900, the average lifespan for men was 46.3 years. For women, 48.3. In 1930, it was 58 years for men and 62 years for women. In 2020, it was 78.9 years in the United States. Medical advancements, improved living standards and healthier lifestyles have all contributed to longevity. In this article, we'll explore key strategies to navigate the next life stage with confidence, optimism and fun!

Backed by documented statistics, a staggering forty-three percent of all adults experience adverse health effects from stress. Additionally, between seventy-five to ninety percent of all doctor's office visits are attributed to stress-related ailments and complaints. Stress rears its head in various forms, contributing to issues like headaches, high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, skin conditions, asthma, arthritis, depression, and anxiety. Notably, stress has been identified as a risk factor for numerous diseases, including cardiovascular ailments. Psychological stress, often overlooked, plays a significant role in cardiovascular disease and increases feelings of indecision.

Who better to discuss the importance of separating home from work than Blaine's guest this week, Lucas Tynkila, whose home life actually overlaps his school life - three children who have all been his students at Stanfield Secondary School and his wife who teaches at the same school. It makes for an easy carpool, says Lucas. And he has enjoyed having his children as students; he gets to spend more time with them as individuals. Having his wife, Tracy, as a first-grade Stanfield Elementary teacher adds the benefit of a spouse who shares his educational ideologies and can relate to the stress of the job.  Even with the strong connections between his home and school life, though, Lucas stresses the importance of a healthy work-life balance. The best advice he received early in his career was simply to go home at the end of a work week, spend time with family and friends, and avoid being a perfectionist at school. He suggests that new educators take care of themselves to avoid burnout. The job gets easier and the rewards greater, he promises, as relationships are formed with students, who are able to learn only when they feel safe and comfortable asking questions. Advances in technology may have affected the education process in the sixteen years that Lucas has been teaching, but student-educator connections and trust remain essential to student success.    Resources 5 Tips to Maintain a Healthy Work-Life Balance   Life Outside of the Classroom   Importance of Self-Care as a Teacher  OEA Grow is a proud member of the Labor Radio Podcast Network

Blaine discusses educator experiences from a mid-career perspective this week with his guest Sarah Burke, a middle-school science teacher at Stanfied Secondary School. In her tenth year of teaching, Sarah is still in awe of the impact educators have on students and their lives. She admits that the work can be frustrating, especially when students don't seem to appreciate the demands of the job, but she encourages educators to take students' sometimes negative attitudes as challenges rather than personal insults. After all, this might be the year when you help that resistant student discover an interest in learning.  Sarah advises educators to take care of themselves, too, with a healthy work/life balance. She has learned over the last decade that the old adage is true - you can't fill anyone's cup if yours is empty. She credits OEA for helping our state's educators maintain healthy work hours, and she counsels educators to be careful of extra time commitments that take them away from home, family, and friends. Sarah's personal self-care includes a special memorabilia box where she keeps emails and letters from students and parents, a reminder of why she continues her career as an educator.    Resources 6 Ways to Create Work-Life Balance OEA Introduction to Mindfulness webinar on May 1st with Talia Akre (Multnomah ESD EA) OEA Self-Paced Module Stress Management: Using Body Wisdom to Calm the Stressed Brain OEA Grow is a proud member of the Labor Radio Podcast Network

Many of us have aging parents or loved ones that need medical care that would benefit from engaging private patient advocacy. Doctors are busier than ever with little time to spend with each patient. This can be frustrating for both patients and for family members who have questions and concerns that are left unanswered. Is there a solution to this with a health care system that is facing a shortage of primary care doctors? On average, most primary care physicians will spend between 15 and 18 minutes with each patient, if they're lucky, and that can include diagnosis. This is often after waiting up to an hour or even longer for the appointment as doctors are overbooked and running late. What do we do? This podcast and article is based on a conversation with Dr. Gerda Maissel, an MD with an impressive resumé, turned to work in private patient advocacy to help maneuver care for those we care about and also enlighten us on what to look for in care that may even impact our personal care in the future.  Full article here: https://goalsforyourlife.com/private-patient-advocacy Get our weekly articles & free downloads here: https://goalsforyourlife.com/newsletter/ For more about Deborah: https://DeborahJohnsonSpeaker.com and music: https://DJWorksMusic.com Remember, you're not alone on this journey.

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, I am joined by Catherine Collinson, president and CEO of the nonprofit research foundation Transamerica Institute, to discuss the crucial role older workers can play in filling in-demand roles across the economy and how ageism may be standing in the way of tapping into that talent pool. "Ageism should be something in the past, not in the present. It's time to get over it," says Collinson, especially as employers express an inability to "attract and retain talent, as they're looking to grow their businesses. It is negatively impacting their ability to conduct business." A new report from Transamerica Institute and its Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies released this morning – Workplace Transformations: Employer Business Practices and Benefit Offerings – says employers are feeling the impact of a prolonged labor crunch. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say it is negatively impacting them. For larger employers, the number is much higher. It goes to six, even seven, in 10. There are four – some even say five – generations of workers in the labor force now. Midcareer and older workers are making up a bigger share each year. Since 1987, the share of workers aged 65 or older has grown from a little more than one in ten (11%) to almost one in five (19%). Currently, about 30% of the U.S. labor forces is over the age of 55. While these workers want or need to continue working, they are often overlooked when it comes to opportunities to "skill up" to do the jobs that employers say they having trouble filling, explains Collinson. "Our survey found almost nine in 10 employers feel that they are age-friendly and provide opportunities, resources, and training for workers of all ages to be successful. But when we looked a little bit further, we found not so much, especially as it relates to attracting and retaining talent. "Very few said they gave a great deal of consideration to age 50+ job applicants. Even some of the things that we saw in terms of professional development opportunities – which, by the way, they could be doing a lot more for workers of all ages – they just seem to be not yet tuned into that opportunity. "Employers on one hand are contending with labor crunches, and yet they're missing out on this talent pool that has expertise, experience, wisdom, that wants to work. Why are they not paying closer attention? That's a rhetorical question, but it also leads to that we've got to retire ageism." Collinson and I go on to discuss ways in which employers can attract workers of all ages and the benefits of a multigenerational workforce. We also discuss the impact of employers using artificial intelligence to "augment their human workforce." In Collinson's words, "Robotics and artificial intelligence may be revolutionizing the business world, but human workers are still critically needed."

The advice people often wish to impart to their younger self varies based on individual experiences, regrets, and the lessons they've learned along the way. As Greg and I find ourselves at this juncture in life, our children have matured and embarked on their own exciting journeys into adulthood.

Workers over age 50 will soon represent 25% of our nation's workforce. Yet, few reskilling and upskilling programs are built to meet the needs of older workers and connect them with employers. Earlier this month, WorkingNation collaborated with the Center for Workforce Inclusion and CWILabs on the Equity Summit 2023, a daylong event addressing the workforce needs of midcareer and older workers. In this panel – Recruiting, Training, and Retaining an Age Inclusive Workforce – we discussed connecting older workers with the resources that empower them to pursue sustainable economic opportunity in today's workplace. My guests on stage were Hector Mujica, head of economic opportunities, Americas for Google.org; Dr. Mona Mourshed, founding global CEO of Generation; and Taylor McLemore, an investor and a partner at Future State. The panel explored the challenges faced by older workers in terms of reskilling and upskilling, as well as the lack of programs tailored to their needs. We also looked at potential solutions, such as successful skill development programs and the importance of continuous learning. My guests emphasized the need for employers to value the experience and skills of older workers and what they bring to the job, and for individuals to proactively invest in their own training and development. Organizations such as Google and Generation are providing that training and support for older workers. And all the panelists agreed that it is important that we re-imagining work and learning to create an age-inclusive workforce.

In today's episode of The Fix, we are going to unpack the specific challenges that women face at the midpoint in their careers, with Coleen Ammerman, the director of the 'Gender Initiative' at Harvard Business School and coauthor, with Boris Groysberg, of 'Glass Half-Broken: Shattering the Barriers That Still Hold Women Back at Work'. Colleen shares why the barriers to women's advancement at work are greatest around the midpoint in their careers. Inequality is particularly challenging for women managers because of the continued acceptance and denial of negative gender norms at work. For example, according to one study outlined in Michelle's book, 'The FIX: How to Overcome the Invisible Barriers That Are Holding Women Back at Work', about 82% of the 350 male CEOs surveyed agree that the key barrier women face at work is a lack of general or supervisory experience. However, only 47% of the 461 female leaders surveyed agree that this is a key barrier. This difference comes down to the widely held belief, established through the patriarchy and that women are simply less capable than men. This shows up when men say things like “She needs more time to round out her experience” or even “She needs more time to prove herself”, about women who are just as experienced as their male colleagues. Experience is not the issue here. Women must overcome the widespread belief that they are just not as competent as men. Colleen explains the scrutiny women encounter at the midpoint in their careers when it comes to performance. During our discussion, Colleen shares with us some key actions she believes we need to take to remove the barriers women face at work.   Action One: Acknowledge that inequality is a workplace issue. We need to fix the processes and systems that create inequality by removing the biases in how companies hire, develop, reward and promote women.   Action Two: We need managers to be committed to being objective and making decisions which both recognize and remove their own biases. This starts with leaders becoming aware of how their beliefs about competence and leadership could negatively impact the judgments they make about women at work.   Action Three: You have the power to advocate for yourself and your colleagues. When decisions are made in your workplace about women or minorities that limits them or their advancement, always ask why. Why is this requirement used for promotion decisions? Why are we not asking the same of men? Why do women need to do more to be considered for a promotion? Why can't mothers lead? Why are there so few women leaders in our organization? If you are ever unsure about whether to ask why or whether the situation is an example of an invisible barrier, consider if the situation is something a man is likely to experience. Would men's promotability be limited if they got married? Is a man's leadership capability questioned when he becomes a father? If the answer is no, then push back. Keep asking why until the real problem surfaces.   Colleen Ammerman Glass Half-Broken: Shattering the Barriers That Still Hold Women Back at Work.

In this episode of Work in Progress, columnist and author Kerry Hannon discusses her new book, In Control at 50+: How to Succeed in the New World of Work, which examines how changes in the workforce – accelerated by COVID – are impacting older, midcareer workers. This is a space Kerry Hannon knows a lot about. She's a renowned expert in the employment and workplace space, writing and speaking about career transitions, retirement, and the future of work. The first words of her new book paint a very clear image of just how far and fast COVID cut through the older workforce. "Crush. Covid-19 ripped through the workplace starting in 2020. It spawned job losses and shattered businesses. It triggered many older workers who lost jobs, or were offered early retirement severance packages to leave the workforce — often earlier than planned. It happened fast. It was breathtakingly brutal. And no one was prepared. Older workers who lost their jobs due to the pandemic did so at a higher rate than their younger counterparts." But this is more than a rehash of the fallout of the pandemic — it is a guide to navigating today's altered career and job pathways for midcareer workers. Her message is always a positive one: you don't have to take a backseat in today's job market. Hannon dives deep into what was making it difficult for older workers to find work even before the 2020 health crisis and then looks at the five enduring changes in the way we work today. Most importantly, she offers very practical advice for midcareer workers who are weighing retirement versus a career reset in this new era. Kerry and I have been having this discussion for more than a year now. And I am so happy we can finally let you listen in.

But this is more than a rehash of the fallout of the pandemic — it is a guide to navigating today's altered career and job pathways for midcareer workers. Her message is always a positive one: you don't have to take a backseat in today's job market. Hannon dives deep into what was making it difficult for older workers to find work even before the 2020 health crisis and then looks at the five enduring changes in the way we work today. Most importantly, she offers very practical advice for midcareer workers who are weighing retirement versus a career reset in this new era. Kerry and I have been having this discussion for more than a year now. And I am so happy we can finally let you listen in.

Sara Safari's goal is to be the first Iranian in history to climb the Seven Summits, the seven highest peaks in each continent. Those peaks are on the following continents: Asia, South America, North America, Africa, Europe, Antarctica and Australia. Sara's purpose of climbing is to raise funds for seven organizations who are empowering women. A big part of empowerment is education. There are many women in varying cultures that don't have access to education. A good education has the power to change lives and futures, so by providing support for education, you are contributing to a brighter future for many women who normally wouldn't have a chance. In the book The Summit: Journey to Hero Mountain, the main character loses her focus for obtaining her brighter future. Mallery had a guide to help her, but when she gets sidetracked from focusing on her greater purpose to get to her Summit, she finds herself discouraged, lost and giving up. Those same feelings can follow most any person who has very little opportunity for growth or gets distracted by being sidetracked. This show will help you focus on what's essential and encourage you to climb your own summit. Full article: https://goalsforyourlife.com/blog/seven-summits

Mid-career development can be a daunting and challenging in an academic career. With much emphasis on junior faculty, and also senior faculty who take leadership roles, mid-career development is often overlooked. A mid-career burnout resulting in a career slump can occur to many of us. As hard as we try to avoid admitting or even talking about struggles and challenges we face as mid-career, the reality is - it is real and if you experience it - you are not alone. In this show, we interview Prof. Michelle Portman, Associate Professor of Technion Israel Institute of Technology, leading the MarCoast Ecosystems Integration Laboratory. She shares her academic journey particularly during her mid-career and provides some advice on how to face and overcome mid-career burnout.

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, my guest is Mona Mourshed, founding global CEO of Generation, a nonprofit with a mission to support the training of learners of all ages, leading to careers that were previously beyond their reach. Generation's new report, Meeting the Midcareer Moment, is an in-depth look at workers over the age of 45, the challenges they face advancing in the workplace, and, for the unemployed, competing against younger job seekers. Let's start with the job interview. What does a hiring manager see when she or he looks at a job seeker over the age of 45? According to the report, they see someone who isn't tech-savvy, isn't adaptable, and who won't fit into the company culture. These perceptions of midcareer workers are putting them at the bottom of the pile when it comes to hiring. "We asked employers to describe what are the strengths that you see of different job candidates in the different age brackets. Long story short, employers see the age 45+ population as having absolutely no strengths relative to those who are age 18-to-34 or 35-to-44," explains Mourshed. Job seekers between the ages of 35 and 44 are most popular with hiring managers, according to the survey. "That's the sweet spot. They've had enough experience, but employers still view them as being nimble and creative. This for us was one of the most stark findings of the report. It really puts a number on ageism," Mourshed tells me in the podcast. Conversely, the hiring managers have an entirely different view of the older workers they already employ. "We asked the very same employers, 'In those cases where you have hired age 45+ within the last three years. how are they performing relative to their job peers?' And we found that 87% of those individuals are performing as well, if not better, than their younger job peers. "When we asked about retention, we found that 90% of those aged 45+ cases are showing as much potential, if not more than their younger peers. And that is the definition of bias, right? It's that whenever a general bias can prevail despite evidence to the contrary, that's what it looks like. And it's very pervasive," argues Mourshed. So simply put, older workers looking for a job are not seen as strong candidates for today's workforce, but once hired, they prove that they are just as capable as their younger colleagues when it comes to actually doing the work. Older workers looking for a job are not seen as strong candidates for today's workforce, but once hired, they prove that they are just as capable as their younger colleagues when it comes to actually doing the work. This is an important point. Workplace demands have changed. Midcareer workers have the talent, and they are adaptable to the changing work environment—when they are given the opportunity. This is reflected in another number. The majority of the long-term unemployed—those out of work for more than six months—are over the age of 45. Once out of work, it is hard for older workers to find their way back into the workforce. Generation says that we are at a crossroads—"if we choose to recognize the talents of this group and help them adapt to workplace disruptions, we can prosper together. But if we stick with the status quo, a bad situation will only get worse." It is also important to point out that everyone is different. There are, in fact, some people who need some additional training to meet the new demands in the workplace. Generation is doing so much in this field. This excellent report has more information on this and the rest of the findings. I encourage you to both read and listen to find out more. You can read Meeting the Midcareer Moment here.

Our parents graduated, entered the workforce in their twenties, and stayed with the same organization, often in a similar field for the entirety of their careers. They were also often able to comfortably afford their own homes in their early twenties, but hey, it was a different time. Everything has since changed. The security that previous generations experienced in their work no longer exists. We live in a time of anxiety and change like we have never seen before. Technology has disrupted countless industries, eliminating certainties and making a mockery of the idea of tenure. It has levelled the international playing field, meaning that there is as much opportunity for someone on the other side of the planet to compete for your job in a way that was once impossible. The World really has become flat. Periodic recessions are met with immediate layoffs regardless of the ability or contributions of the employee. And in our industry, skills and experience that were once highly regarded are today irrelevant. But it's not all doom and gloom. All this disruption has opened up previously unheard of opportunities and mobility for those that welcome new challenges. Today, we are not expected to work for the same employer for the entirety of our careers. Indeed, today we are likely to have multiple careers within our working lives. Given that, why would someone want to become a digital strategist mid-career? Let's start with the premise that it is an attractive role. Not only is it in high demand, with a lot of organizations actively hunting for a relatively small pool of talent, it is also a role that is closely associated with organizational revenue and profitability. As such, it is also a high profile role, which to many people is quite appealing.
