What happens when the thing that makes you valuable becomes outdated?

People analytics is a young industry. It moves fast. It idolises innovation. So where's the place for experience when everyone's chasing the next AI breakthrough?

We talk about diversity - gender, race, disability. But age? We joke about boomers not knowing how to unmute. We roll our eyes when someone says "we've done this before."

Behind that is a person who was once the future. And now doesn't know if they're allowed to have one.

The data doesn't age. But we do.

A moment to notice, not to fix. Be kind to someone older today. Be kind to yourself.
