It's rather eye-opening when you realize that as much as you think you don't discriminate based on age, you probably do. I'm focusing on this more than ever since I lead a multi-generational staff who are all talented in different ways. How do you experience ageism personally?

The vast majority of us are biased, whether we like it or not. The real trick is noticing it, addressing it, and then figuring things out. Everyone from all walks of life have strengths and weaknesses, if you can tap into those and get everyone working together, it is a wonderful thing, tough to get to, but amazing when you do.

I’ve noticed subtle ageism, like people assuming younger employees are more tech-savvy or older ones are less open to change.

I've had people assume I'm not tech capable because I'm older. Hey, I was rocking it with DOS commands when some of you punks were in diapers! But in fairness, I'm guilty of the same, I sometimes assume ignorance on the part of young people, just because of prevalent stereotypes.

I worked for a consulting firm and volunteered for an initiative for which I was well qualified (they put out a call for volunteers).

Senior leadership said I was ideal … but…. they wanted a younger leader in the spotlight; that I should really be more behind the scenes coaching the younger person with a longer career path in front of them compared to me.

I may be older, but I am not lazy, dull, or looking to coast.
