Overcoming Ageism in Your Career
Gendered Ageism has always been an issue as we live in a sexist, ageist culture that is obsessed with youth. In many industries, particularly tech, women started facing gendered ageism by the time we hit our mid thirties. It is important at any age that we take charge of our careers, but as we get older we must truly champion ourselves. Certainly, any woman over 50 has got to be very clear on what she brings to the table in terms of expertise and enthusiasm for her career. We will explore the issue of gendered ageism and how to tactically overcome the challenges inclusive of our own internalized ageism.
