Keynoting at Curiosas last week in Ibiza got me thinking about how ageism affects the sexes differently 🤔

Men get away with ageing in ways that women can only dream about.

We say that growing older gives men gravitas.

That it makes them look "distinguished".

A man with grey hair can be a "silver fox".

When a woman shows signs of ageing, she's "letting herself go".

The message coming from all sides is that women need youth to be attractive.

Nonsense! 🙅

A million different things go into making someone attractive – and youth is just one of them.

This is true for both men and women.

The same double standard applies at work. From recruitment to promotions, women are penalised more for having the temerity to age.

This is not only unfair. It is also bad for the bottom line.

Because older women can be a huge asset in the workplace.

They tend to be more productive and have better social skills than their younger peers.

They are better at seeing the big picture, weighing rival viewpoints and spotting the patterns that unlock creative solutions.

The time has come to respect and value women as they age.

Otherwise, we are all doomed to carry on paying the price for ageism.

Lying about your age gives the number a power it does not deserve.

It locks you into those downbeat stereotypes about ageing....

❌ “Wrong side of 40”

❌ “Feeling my age”

❌ “Can’t teach an old dog new tricks”

It’s time to cast these aside and free ourselves from the ageist script.

Let’s be honest about how old we are.

And celebrate our birthdays, instead of mourning them.

I'll go first.

My name is Carl and I’m 54 years old.

And I’m not just okay with that. I’m proud of it – and looking forward to whatever comes next! 🙏
