Meet Jane Evans, the founder of The Uninvisibility Project which is campaigning to end the invisibility that hits women as we get older.
In this fascinating and thought-provoking interview we talk about:
- How Jane's own experience of becoming invisible in the workplace lead her to set up The Uninvisibility Project
- What The Uninvisibility Project is all about and the importance of highlighting older women and the great things they are doing
- How we're losing out on a great skill base because of prejudice against older women
- How old norms about ageing and women's careers need to change in-line with increases in life expectancy
- The jobs available for women 50+ often tend to be menial and professional women are having to do these to make ends meet
- How women's experience is terribly under-valued
- Older women need to continue the pioneering they began by entering many of the previously exclusively male professions
- The advantages to getting older and changing perceptions
- The silver reservoir of talent that is being wasted
- How the lack of sexual objectification post menopause can change the dynamic in the workplace
- Building a matriarchal model for new businesses
- How to cope with feeling invisible
- Reaching out and talking to other older women
- How female competition does women no favors
- Wrinkle creams don't work – better to put your money into your pension
- Changing anti-ageing to pro-ageing
- Living longer and how to make the most of that
- Finding the talented women who left work due to a toxic male work environment
