Finding a great role is harder than ever.

• Competition is intense—and too often, unspoken assumptions get in the way.
• Some professionals are quietly ruled out for being “too experienced.”
• Others are passed over for being “not experienced enough.”

Different ages. Same problem.

Join us for a practical, candid conversation about age bias in today’s job market—and how to navigate it strategically, whether you’re a seasoned executive or a rising leader.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

• Understand how age bias actually shows up in interviews and hiring decisions
• Learn what interviewers can—and can’t—ask, and how to respond with confidence
• Identify the most common messaging mistakes that unintentionally reinforce age stereotypes
• Walk away with four practical strategies to position your experience, energy, and potential as strengths—at any career stage

This session is designed for professionals who want to be evaluated for their value, not their birth year.
