Is an unexamined bias holding your business back? Corinne Auman, founder of Choice Care Navigators and author of "Keenagers," joins Harmonious at Lunch to discuss ageism in the workplace—a pervasive issue affecting both young and older professionals. This isn't just a social topic; it's a strategic business conversation about building stronger, more resilient teams.

Discover how stereotypes about age can limit your hiring pool and why creating a multi-generational workforce is a competitive advantage. Corinne dives into how to recognize our own inherent age biases, practical steps to create "age-free" hiring processes, and the powerful research showing how your personal outlook on aging directly impacts your own health, longevity, and effectiveness as a leader. This is a crucial discussion for any business owner looking to foster a truly inclusive and high-performing culture.
