Our special guest this week, Dr. Lucy Ryan, will Present on:
Revolting Women: why midlife women walk out and what to do about it.
Professional women over 50 are faced with a triple whammy of discrimination: they are not male, young or linear in their career paths. As a result, they are leaving corporate life and taking their career into their own hands. And with it, they take their abundant wisdom, energy and ambition. This presentation will examine the results of my five year doctoral project, that is, the three reasons why midlife women leave business and how corporations can attract, retain and promote this invaluable talent pool
