    The Age Discrimination Crisis in Australia - And What To Do About It

    Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place - Age Discrimination in Australia New research from the Australian Human Rights Commission reveals a shocking truth: employers are crying out for workers while systematically excluding them based on age.  Key findings show only 56% of employers will hire 50-64 year olds, dropping to 28% for those 65+, while just 41% are open to hiring 15-24 year olds.  Even more concerning - 24% of HR professionals now classify workers over 50 as "older," up 10% from 2023! Jane explores why this research is important to mid-career professionals, and shares strategies mature Australian workers can use to navigate this challenging landscape with confidence.

  6. Why Self Care is Essential for Career Success

    Why Self Care is Essential for Career Success

    Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Picture this: A poster of me, at the age of 16, modelling sunglasses in Hong Kong, looking glamorous with them perched stylishly on top of my head. Not protecting my eyes, just making a fashion statement. [Click this link to view my 1975 poster] Fast forward 50 years to last Wednesday, and I'm recovering from painful pterygium surgery with my bandaged eye, staring at that very poster on my wall. The irony? I spent decades with the solution literally on my head, just a few inches too high to do any good. What has this to do with Career Success? Listen to this compelling episode which will make you reflect on the choices we make early on in our lives and careers, and the consequences of bad choices (or avoiding what we must do for future success). Key takeaways from episode 274 of Your Career Podcast: 1. Prevention is Always Better than the Cure The most striking lesson is how much easier, and less painful, it is to protect yourself proactively rather than fix problems later.  My 1975 sunglasses story perfectly illustrates this: a simple daily habit of wearing eye protection could have prevented surgery, seven weeks of recovery, multiple medications, and significant pain.  This applies to every area of life: career, health, relationships.  2. Physical Health and Career Success Are Inseparable You can't compartmentalise your wellbeing. When you're running on empty physically, you can't show up fully in your career.  Job searching requires stamina, resilience, and clarity of mind. Career transitions demand energy for networking, interviewing, and decision-making.  If you haven't been taking care of your foundation, sleep, nutrition, exercise, boundaries, you're essentially trying to climb Mount Everest with a broken ankle. 3. Self-Care Is Strategic, Not Selfish The biggest mindset shift is viewing self-care as protection rather than decoration. Just like networking shouldn't be something you only do when you need a job, taking care of yourself shouldn't be something you postpone until "things calm down."  Your future self is counting on the choices you make today, and time moves faster than we think. What feels like a distant future becomes today in the blink of an eye - sometimes literally. Listen to my personal story which we all can relate to, especially those considering a career change when unprepared.   What will YOU do to ensure you don’t leave your metaphorical sunglasses on top of your head instead of what they were designed to do? - - - - - - - - - -  Welcome to Your Career Podcast with Jane Jackson where I help mid career professionals overcome self doubt and gain career clarity and the confidence to create the life and career they desire.  Book a Zoom chat with me at janejacksoncoach.com - I’d love to meet you and discover what’s happening in your career!

    The Leadership of Love - Communication and Emotional Intelligence

A chance encounter while walking along Manly Beach recently stopped me in my tracks – a man wearing a t-shirt that read: "My beautiful wife has dementia, please say 'HELLO' to her."  In this heartfelt episode, I share how this simple act of love reveals powerful lessons about compassionate leadership that no corporate training seminar could teach. What does it mean to truly see others beyond their job titles and functions?  I explore how authentic leadership often appears in unexpected places and offer practical insights into creating meaningful connections in both personal and professional settings.  Drawing wisdom from Brené Brown, Simon Sinek and others, I challenge you to consider the invisible struggles our colleagues may be facing.
