A peer support community that makes a difference
The Wisdom Network is a welcoming community of professionals over 55 who meet every 6-8 weeks to support each other's career journeys. Whether you're actively seeking new opportunities or happily employed and wanting to give back, our network thrives on mutual support and shared wisdom.
Why I created the Wisdom Network
After delivering my TEDx talk on ageism in the workplace, I was approached by countless professionals over 55 who felt isolated and undervalued. That's when I realised we needed more than awareness - we needed community.
The Wisdom Network was born from a simple conviction: when experienced professionals support each other, extraordinary things happen. As the chair of our group, I facilitate these connections and leverage my professional network to create real opportunities for our members.
I understand the challenges because I've studied them extensively and experienced them personally in the past decade.
I believe that professionals over 55 represent the most underutilised talent pool in today's workforce. And I believe that if we band together, share our networks, and support each other's journeys, we will create a powerful force for change.
This isn't just about finding jobs - it's about recognising and leveraging the incredible value that comes with experience, wisdom, and perspective.
