“The multi-stage life is much more personalised and flexible,<\/em> and it has a number of career breaks and lots of transition points.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I pulled that quote out of a recent article written on \u2018age-diverse talent\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In an age (no pun intended) and time where we are surrounded and consumed by \u2018isms\u2019 the age one doesn\u2019t tend to get much air time. But ageism is definitely \u2018a thing\u2019. Ageism might be the final frontier for the \u2018isms\u2019 movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However \u2018isms\u2019 isn\u2019t the focus of my \u2018Message\u2019 this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The terms \u2018age diverse talent\u2019 and \u2018multi-stage life\u2019 captured my attention. At JUNO we don\u2019t necessarily have a typical demographic that we work with. We tend to get involved with a broad spectrum across age, cultural background, gender, and definitely \u2018occupation and education\u2019 opportunity backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we certainly work with many people that have been through lots of transition points in their lives. Some transitions that many of us would not wish to have to face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s the major point though – we\u2019ve been doing what we do for 21 years with an incredibly diverse population, and there\u2019s no stereotype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another lift from that same article is rather useful in helping to understand \u2018stereotypes\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Stereotypes are cognitive heuristics – shortcuts – that come from socially shared expectations about people from different groups\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, as you carry on with your own multi-stage life, be aware of the multistage lives of others, maybe take a moment or ten to understand their current transition point, and exercise caution as you approach that shortcut to stereotype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At JUNO we read plenty and we listen to lots connected to Leadership, Leadership Development, Coaching and more. We have too, to stay current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each month we\u2019ll include a link (or two or three) to an article or podcast that is topical and timely for you to read or listen to and reflect on. Curating and sharing is just our humble way of contributing to the pursuit of excellence in all things leading and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this month:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/ycy4b2wm<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
