Did you know that 42% of hiring managers admit to having a bias against candidates based solely on their age? In today’s episode, we’re tackling one of the most pervasive and quietly damaging biases in the workplace—ageism. Whether you’re too young to be taken seriously or too old to climb the corporate ladder, ageism is impacting workers across the board.
Maureen Wiley Clough, a fierce advocate for age inclusivity, joins me to share her eye-opening experience of being called a “dinosaur” at just 37, and how it ignited her fight for change. She explains how businesses miss out on the advantages of diverse, intergenerational teams, and why this lack of inclusivity hurts productivity and innovation.
We must address ageism now, or the consequences will only grow. It’s time for business leaders to open up conversations about age inclusivity and take proactive steps to end age bias. And if you are personally navigating this issue, track your achievements and stay confident in your value as a professional.
In This Episode:
- Maureen’s experience with ageism
- Industries most affected by ageism

- Coded language in job listings that drives ageism
- Positive examples of age inclusivity and future hiring trends
