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

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. 00:00 Age Anxiety at Work01:33 Why Women Feel It More02:52 Stop Pre Rejecting Yourself04:01 Reframe Age as Value04:58 40 Plus Interview Strategy05:59 Show Current Relevance07:44 Overqualified Without Fear09:04 Twenties Momentum Advantage10:19 Confidence and Authority Language11:28 Regulate Triggers and Reposition13:02 Reflection Prompts and Wrap UpFollow Diana: Work with me: ⁠https://www.coachdianadebolt.com/1-1-coaching Email- [email protected] - https://www.coachdianadebolt.com/ Instagram -  @coachdianadeboltTiktok - @coachdianadeboltIf you loved this episode, rate, review and subscribe!
