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.
