    In the high-stakes game of executive job hunting, you're probably obsessing over your network, your resume, your interview techniques. But here's the thing:  While everyone else is playing the same old notes, there's an untapped advantage sitting right in front of you. Writing.

    The Universal Ism, Ageism I Dealing With It In Your Career (Pt 2) I Maureen Clough

    Here’s the pickle:   Experience, wisdom, and broader perspectives add tremendous value, but quantifying this without relying on age alone IS tricky.    That’s why in Part 2 of The Universal Ism, Ageism I Dealing With It In Your Career we’re focusing on how to leverage your experience without having it become a liability.    Maureen Clough of "It Gets Late Early" is back and she's not pulling any punches.   Why should you listen?   Your change starts within.

    The Universal Ism, Ageism I Dealing With It In Your Career (Pt 1) I Maureen Clough

    It’s unavoidable, and it’s happening right now. You’re aging.    But no matter what age you are something is going on.    In your 20’s or 30’s you’ll experience youngerism In your 30’s or 40’s, it’s middle-ageism Over 40? straight up ageism   And, then there’s “lookism” and “genderism” especially for women.    This week my favorite AGE gal pal Maureen Clough, the host of the incredible podcast “It Gets Late Early”.    She rips the bandaid off tech’s dirty little secrets but ageism doesn’t start or end there.    In this episode find out:    The shocking truth about ageism's reach and how it manifests across different industries.  How changing your perspective CAN influence those around you. Risk vs. Rewards: uncovering potential consequences and benefits of addressing ageism head-on. Why public backlash matters– like in cases of Indeed's rapid response vs.  slower reactions from giants like LinkedIn. And, what the bigger case for ROI Inclusion is and how age-inclusive policies can lead to increased profits and market share.   Maureen Clough is the genius host of It Gets Late Early, a show about getting older in Tech. | She’s been featured in WIRED, Business Insider and Inside Edition    Maureen is an ex-journalist who somehow found herself in the tech world, and then discovered that I was “old” for tech even before I hit 40. This was the genesis of It Gets Late Early, which is all about the experience of getting older in the youth-obsessed tech industry. She is  starting the conversation about age bias in the corporate world with the intention of making things better for all of us - employers included.

    The Low Down On Being Laid Off I Laura Krauss

    Roughly 28% of Americans have laid off in the last two years.    The repercussions – no one needs to tell you.    Whether it’s the first time it’s ever happened to you Didn’t see it coming  Or suspect ageism caused it   You need a way and place to deal with it to heal from it.    To go from “what if” to “imagine if”  To allow for redirection out of the ashes of resignation. And get real and vulnerable to rebuild and recover the identity you had.    Laura Krauss, also known as “layoff Laura” didn’t take her layoff lying down.   She made it public, yes for herself But also for you And for those who are grieving – going through the layoff phases and stages In this episode we address some lesser known facts around layoffs: Why and how the emotional impact of layoffs often outweighs financial hits Why age  doesn’t have to be a source of shame and how to use it for what’s next How to craft your new personal narrative to navigate post-layoff challenges. Plus: where to go and how to access Laura’s growing community  “The Layoff Cooties Couch” – the safest seat to connect with others healing from the emotional trauma of a layoff. After 20+ years as high producing global sales executive, Laura Krauss was blindsided and laid off. Shocked and unsupported by her coworkers, she vulnerably started sharing her story on Linkedin in Nov. of 2023.    Since then her life has changed. And it hasn’t been easy or over produced (like this episode).  She’s been raw and real in her personal journey through a layoff,  the emotional impact, the importance of community, and the need to destigmatize layoffs.  She emphasizes the stages of grief experienced during this transition and the significance of finding one's identity beyond work.    Laura also highlights the healing power of vulnerability and the importance of mindset shifts for job seekers, particularly in addressing ageism and crafting a personal narrative post-layoff.   Follow Laura!   Preorder her upcoming book The Layoff Cooties, It’s Them, Not You here:    https://www.rippleeffectsales.com Join her community here: https://the-layoff-cooties-couch.mn.co/plans/1445282?bundle_token=5ba606b766144cc96320fb833098a7c9
