In this "Lessons" episode, Bonnie Marcus, author of Not Done Yet, discusses the challenges women face in the workplace, particularly the intersection of gender bias and ageism, and offers strategies to overcome these barriers for career advancement.

Gender Bias and Ageism in the Workplace: Bonnie explains how women have long struggled with gender bias, but as they age, they face a "double whammy" of both gender bias and ageism. She highlights how women over 50 are often marginalized, excluded from key decisions, and seen as less valuable due to societal emphasis on appearance.

Impact on Career Trajectories: Bonnie addresses the pressures women face to maintain a youthful appearance, including undergoing cosmetic procedures, in order to remain competitive in their careers. This need to "hide" their age, she argues, directly affects their financial security and career progression, as it often leads to job insecurity and fewer opportunities.

Raising Awareness and Finding Solutions: Bonnie emphasizes the importance of bringing visibility to this issue, encouraging corporations to include gendered ageism in unconscious bias training and policy assessments. She shares practical solutions from her book and coaching practice to help women navigate these biases and for companies to create more inclusive environments.
