(#112) Age Isn't the Enemy: How to Position Yourself for Career Success

<p>In this episode of the EmpowerHER Podcast, Diana discusses age in the workplace after hearing similar fears from clients in their 20s and 40+ about being judged as too young or too old. She explains that women face age bias more intensely than men because society evaluates women on a timeline, leading many to internalize bias and “pre-reject” themselves from roles. She emphasizes that companies hire for impact, relevance, and solutions, not age, and that success comes down to positioning. </p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Age Anxiety at Work</p><p>01:33 Why Women Feel It More</p><p>02:52 Stop Pre Rejecting Yourself</p><p>04:01 Reframe Age as Value</p><p>04:58 40 Plus Interview Strategy</p><p>05:59 Show Current Relevance</p><p>07:44 Overqualified Without Fear</p><p>09:04 Twenties Momentum Advantage</p><p>10:19 Confidence and Authority Language</p><p>11:28 Regulate Triggers and Reposition</p><p>13:02 Reflection Prompts and Wrap Up</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Diana: </p><p>Work with me: ⁠<a href="https://www.coachdianadebolt.com/1-1-coaching"><u>https://www.coachdianadebolt.com/1-1-coaching</u></a> </p><p>Email- <a href="mailto:coachdianadebolt@gmail.com"><u>coachdianadebolt@gmail.com</u></a></p><p>Website - <a href="https://www.coachdianadebolt.com/"><u>https://www.coachdianadebolt.com/</u></a> </p><p>Instagram -<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGp6ZkZ1TzFiTHRRV2ZXbjJlMm5PMWVCaDJod3xBQ3Jtc0trZnp4TnBFRFFGdFFEZ1pmaFB1aXd5NHlQRTRaUGxRSnc1UUNsWWxMT09oazdKWnZSQ05MRGdMRDk4RWlPVE9zQUNlSTJLY1FSc1drM1RVT1dobUVLLThwaXFMV0Y2MWFPaHU4VHVEZWt3VF91aTd6NA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F49rCLt0&v=jroF3PH-PTs"> </a> <a href="https://instagram.com/coachdianadebolt?igshid=MW9iZmQwOGZmZWJiaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr&fbclid=IwAR0HEXwR3Mi7efkZTpqwmvvp_o3GlBD60wFUWHprSNZc6whhKFS8dQrEUGY"><u>@coachdianadebolt</u></a></p><p>Tiktok -<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGp6ZkZ1TzFiTHRRV2ZXbjJlMm5PMWVCaDJod3xBQ3Jtc0trZnp4TnBFRFFGdFFEZ1pmaFB1aXd5NHlQRTRaUGxRSnc1UUNsWWxMT09oazdKWnZSQ05MRGdMRDk4RWlPVE9zQUNlSTJLY1FSc1drM1RVT1dobUVLLThwaXFMV0Y2MWFPaHU4VHVEZWt3VF91aTd6NA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F49rCLt0&v=jroF3PH-PTs"> </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@coachdianadebolt?_t=8hBzBbeu6JF&_r=1"><u>@coachdianadebolt</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>If you loved this episode, rate, review and subscribe! <br></p>
