E16: Talent Development For Diverse Women Over 50

Talent Development & Appreciation for Diverse Women Over Age 50! Let's talk about Diverse Women Over Age 50, how organizations underappreciate their contribution, and why talent development must include women over 50. 

In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will discuss DEI from the lens of diverse women over age 50. The new normal is building women's leadership development programs for new entrants and young professionals without having programs specifically designed for diverse women over age 50. The untapped and underappreciated talent pool. When women over 50 started in their career, there were no talent development programs - today, they're still forgotten from development discussions. 

If you're a Diverse Woman Over Age 50 – now is your time – maybe you've been faithful but forgotten on the talent development vine. Here's what we know, you can still manage your career starting now. Critical points for today's episode: Picking the "All Women Category" While Checking The Woman Box Doesn't Make Your Company Diverse. If your talent strategy doesn't specifically include or address Diverse Women, then it certainly won't include Diverse Women Over 50! 

Fact: In the talent planning process, diverse women over Age 50 are forgotten and missing from the upward mobility discussion points. Diverse women over age 50 have been forgotten, overlooked, and undervalued by most organizations for years. Diverse Women Over 50, you are faithful, forgotten, and frustrated – but by the end of this episode, you will be energized to ask for what you've never been given - career planning. This program is a clap-back to organizations that think they have diversity because they have more women than men in their ranks.
