E26: The Next Chapter: Reinvention, Purpose, and Work After 50

In this episode we welcome Edward. Abeyta, Ph.D., and Rebecca Smith for a timely conversation about supporting experienced workers as they navigate the next chapter of their careers. They explore how workforce professionals can help people move beyond age-based stereotypes, recognize their experience as an asset, and approach career development as a cycle rather than a linear path. The discussion also examines the importance of purpose, adaptability, well-being, creativity, and community while offering a practical framework for reinvention: inventory your strengths and experiences, translate them for today's workforce, and activate your next steps.
