Ageism in the C-Suite

Episode notes

In Episode 4 of Season 2, Maureen Farmer discusses a hot topic that’s been bubbling up among leaders who are struggling with a career transition. When a deal stalls, a job offer is not extended, or when the executive recruiter ghosts you, there is a common refrain: Is it my age? Maureen dispels the myth that gets in the way of many high-performing business leaders who are in transition—after they’ve sold a business, in between corporate roles, or seeking board mandates.
