Description

Have you ever felt suddenly invisible in your workplace despite your wealth of knowledge and experience? This episode explores the often-overlooked challenges of an aging workforce and the urgent need to build bridges between generations.

Lot Hawkins, founder of The Stella Collective, shares her journey from art therapy to qualitative research, and how approaching her 50s sparked a mission to create visibility for women over 45. 

During the conversation Lot and Lisa discuss how workplaces will soon have up to six generations working side by side, and the immense challenges this presents. 

Drawing on her expertise in understanding human behavior, Lot offers invaluable insights into building trust across generational divides through context and understanding rather than confrontation.

Lot and Lisa also discuss Lot's groundbreaking "50 Over 50" initiative celebrating accomplished New Zealand women.

Whether you're leading a diverse team, feeling overlooked in your career, or simply interested in workplace dynamics, this conversation offers a perspective on valuing experience in our youth-obsessed world. 

Connect with the Stella Collective to learn more about building bridges in your organization and creating workplaces where every generation can thrive.
