EP 1 How Ageism is Wasting a Generation of Talent
Did you know over 7 in 10 pre-retirees say they want to work in retirement?
It’s not always about the money, either. Many want to keep working because they are at the top of their game, or to provide mental stimulation, maintain friendships and connection, or transition into something different.
Welcome to the first episode of Don’t Be Caged By Your Age – I’m so thrilled and delighted you’re here to learn how to shatter age-related expectations and thrive after 65!
At 68 our guest, Victoria Tomlinson, is the founder of Next-Up: a company that helps anyone over 50 find purpose through a new role in the next stage of their lives.
Through webinars, workshops, events and guidance, Victoria and her team are turning 70% of people from feeling apprehensive about their retirement to excited about the opportunities ahead.
Victoria shares an abundance of advice for reinventing and reimagining life after 60, the origin story of retirement, why retirement is morally wrong, and how you can update your LinkedIn profile to showcase your brilliance after 65!
Please join me to meet Victoria, and learn why she’s passionate about helping folks find new pathways to fulfillment as they begin their “unretirement” journey.
