Tackling Ageism: Thinking About Careers in Midlife and Beyond May 01, 2024

Show notes

Getting older should be something to celebrate: you’ve gained experience, honed a skillset and acquired the wisdom to know where, and when, to apply your energy. Yet, employers and colleagues don’t always see the value of experience. People often buy into ageist myths that punish older employees. As the proportion of workers over age 50 grows, age-based discrimination will become more evident and an urgent problem to address.

To kick off a series of shows on ageism, LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman sits down with Chip Conley, co-founder and CEO of Modern Elder Academy. MEA is a midlife wisdom school for people navigating life transitions in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. Chip shares his experience working at Airbnb, where he came to be known as the “modern elder.” He also offers advice for rejuvenating your career in midlife and challenges the notion of the “midlife crisis.”

This episode is for anyone contemplating making a career change in midlife and wants support in navigating their next chapter.
