“Age bias is alive and well—it’s out there.”
It’s a reality many senior leaders face, whether openly acknowledged or not. But according to executive career coach Mark Brodsky, the goal isn’t to eliminate age bias—it’s to strategically mitigate it.
With experience comes something incredibly valuable: good judgment, pattern recognition, and the ability to avoid costly missteps. Experienced executives have seen challenges before—and solved them. That’s not a weakness. It’s a competitive advantage.
The challenge is how that experience is presented. Too often, executives lean heavily on past accomplishments without clearly connecting them to today’s business environment.
Organizations aren’t just hiring for what you’ve done—they’re hiring for how you’ll lead forward, navigate current challenges, and operate with modern tools and expectations.
