Your Title Doesn’t Define Your Worth

Friday Jul 29, 2022

A successful career and the importance in our lives, often go hand in hand.

And it's not difficult to see why, we work hard to get the job society views as prestigious or our loved ones would be proud to identify with.

The challenge arises when we can't envisage a life without the job/title/position etc.

Escaping Your Career Comfort Zone

Friday Jul 15, 2022

I speak with mid-career Black female professionals every day about what they want, and what they don't want, and most are doing something they no longer want to do, but they're doing it anyway.

'Why?'

They're trapped in their comfort zone.

This is when the comfort of the situation outweighs your desire to go after what you really want, even though you're not satisfied with your current career or job.

It can go on for years and years and no matter what's presented to you, or how uninspiring your current situation is, you can always find a reason why you can't change.

So, how do you know if you're locked in your career comfort zone and more importantly how do you get out?

Staying Recruitable When You’re Over 50

Friday Jul 08, 2022

In this edition of Black, Female and Over 50 - The Power Trifecta we discuss the importance of understanding your triple minority status in the recruitment world as a necessary part of navigating the recruitment field.

Especially as over the next 20 year's the 60+ generation will grow by 40% and within just 2 years one in two of the workforce will be over 50.

The pandemic has been especially hard on older employees seeking to reclaim jobs lost in the early days of lockdowns. Many say they fear that the workplace upheaval brought on by Covid-19 has reinforced some bosses’ belief that professionals in their 50s and beyond are less inclined to return to offices or adapt to new ways of working.

With the Great Resignation being a concern for organizations, they're now turned on to the idea of employing "older" workers but there's a looming dichotomy within the methods and processes of recruitment which can oft be alienating for Black Women in the recruitment process.

In this conversation we discuss how to navigate the employment process in a post pandemic and AI driven world.

Guest panelists were Brucine Francis a Recruitment Director with over 20 years experience in the recruitment agency field and Daisy Wright - Founder & CEO of The Wright Career Solution who for over 15 years has coached numerous executives, managers and mid-career professionals to attaining new roles .

The next LinkedIn live is scheduled 12th July 2022 12pm EST where I'll be hosting Rebbecca Hemmings, award-winning Founder and Director of Strawberry Words Training and Development Company - on the topic of Dealing With Microaggressions as Mid-Career Black Woman

It'll be a great and engaging conversation so make sure you connect with me on LinkedIn to join us, submit your questions and have your voices heard. https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland

How To Protect Your Personal Boundaries At Work

Friday Jun 24, 2022

Many Black women struggle to set workplace boundaries. There are multiple factors that contribute to this issue, from cultural norms, gender biases, personal insecurities, and external pressures.

Often, we've been taught that what other people need from us is more important than how we’re feeling, which is why we feel the need for others' needs ahead of our own.

But Boundaries at work are important, find out whay and how you can protect yours! .

Priortizing Your Mental Wellbeing For A Marvelous Midlife

Friday Jun 10, 2022

It's another installment of Black, Female and Over 50 - The Power Trifecta where Gillian Wells, MSW and I discuss Prioritizing Your Mental Wellbeing for a Marvellous Midlife,:

Quite often the importance of mental health for Black women of the Generation Jones and Generation X age is overlooked - they've been raised to be strong and stoic.

Women of these generations have been so busy taking care of everyone else — their careers, their partners, their elderly parents and their children — that they don’t take care of themselves.

Now they've had the chance to rethink their options, question whether there can be more to life.

They have options their mothers before them never had

A chance to do things their own way and of which can unknowingly impact their mental wellbeing.

Join Gillian Wells, MSW and I, as we discuss;

- The power of Oprah and Gale time.
- The "privilege" Black women are now afforded (even though we may not recognize it)
- How a constant life of "busyness" has led to Black women not dealing with their lived trauma experiences and how that can impact their careers.
- Practical strategies to promote healthy mental wellbeing so you can live a marvelous midlife.

The next LinkedIn live is scheduled 12th June 2022 where I'll be hosting award-winning executive career coach Daisy Wright and Recruitment Director Brucine Francis - on the topic of Staying Recruitable In Your 50s

It'll be a great and engaging conversation so make sure you connect with me on LinkedIn to join us, submit your questions and have your voices heard. https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland

Is What I Wear Really Any Of Your Business?

Friday May 06, 2022

It's another installment of Black, Female and Over 50 - The (UnderValued) Power Trifecta

When you reach an age - (50+), you can guarantee that someone has an opinion about how you should be conducting yourself as a mature woman.

And when it comes to how we dress, the opinions really fly!

"What age does she think she is?"
"She trying to act young"
"She mutton dressed as lamb"
"Why can’t she dress her age?"

As women age they face a particular societal code that determines what is deemed "appropriate" to wear, which can lead to a fear of expressing oneself authentically, becoming almost invisible as to not risk ridicule or rejection from society.

But how do those biases translate to the working world and women's careers?

Join Personal stylist @Renee Lindo and I as we discuss:

- How important a role does appearance play for career women over 50?
- Who makes the rules about what not to wear past 50?
- Should women "disguise" their age?
- How does the way women feel about their dress impact their confidence?
- How can women dress to accommodate the physical impact of menopause at work.

The next LinkedIn live is scheduled 12th May2022 where I'll be hosting Registered Social Worker - Gillian Wells the topic of managing your mental health when you're a Black women over 50 - "Priortising Your Mental Wellness for a Marvellous Midlife"

It'll be a great and engaging conversation so make sure you connect with me on LinkedIn to join us, submit your questions and have your voices heard. https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland
