Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
I didn’t realize how much I’d accepted the rules of certain age-obsessed societies. The unspoken message in the USA is clear: hit 65, retire, fade away. You’ve served your purpose. Time to step aside. At 73 (living between the Caribbean and France), I’m studying what it means to age in different cultures. While some societies […]

Some people don’t have a degree or a string of titles and credentials that others may need, so they can see you as important and known. Not having specific branding does not lessen your value. The traditional gatekeeping mechanisms – degrees, titles, formal credentials – are fortunately losing their monopoly on determining worth and capability. […]

You’ve felt it, even if you didn’t have a name for it. The subtle but systematic way society separates us by age—pushing older adults into “senior-friendly” spaces, younger workers into “innovative” roles, and everyone into age-appropriate boxes. This is Age Apartheid: the institutional segregation that treats age groups as fundamentally incompatible. Unlike individual age discrimination, […]

Stop scrolling for a moment. Before you buy the next thing, chase the next achievement, or post the next update—ask yourself a question that cuts deep: What do you actually need? Not what Instagram says you need to look successful. Not what LinkedIn says you need to seem accomplished. Not what the endless parade of […]

Your years of experience are your golden asset, and understanding ADEA – Age Discrimination Employment Act – empowers you. If you’re in your 50s and feel like you’re being overlooked and patronized at work because of your age, you’re not imagining it—and you have legal protections you may not know about. Many people have never […]

If you’re facing retirement or being pushed out of the workforce because of your age, take heart: your most valuable working years are still ahead of you. You have many more encores to give. Smart companies are discovering what many of us have known all along—experience, wisdom, skills, and dedication don’t come with expiration dates. […]

It’s a lovely and powerful thing the way plants grow towards the sunlight. It’s also scientific how they stretch for health, to be all they can be. It’s metaphorical of how we are as human beings. Plants grow towards the sun because of phototropism. They have light-sensitive proteins that detect the direction of light and […]

We count on postmen and women to deliver the mail. They are dedicated individuals who go the extra mile to hand-deliver our letters and packages. We have tremendous gratitude to each mail person and the mail system for their steady help, nearly every day. The gratitude often goes unnoticed and unexpressed. They work in all […]

I casually met a person who turned into a client. She was interested in my work and the services I offer. This encounter reminded me of my core philosophy from coaching school: “Never miss an opportunity to coach.” So that’s how I live and work. Creating opportunities, not simply having casual encounters. You have a […]

At 92, Emma Maria Mazzenga just obliterated a world record—and my ideas about what’s possible in later life. Emma just set a world record in the 200-meter sprint for the W90 Category (women’s 90+ sports age group classification). She is jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring news! Not only is she competing at 92, but she’s also being studied […]
