We Are Human Leaders

Welcome to We Are Human Leaders. In today's conversation we explore the issue of Ageism and the critical importance in dispelling it in the workplace. We look at generational stereotypes and why they are harmful, and learn practical ways to debunk ageism at work.
This conversation with Ashton Applewhite will challenge your preconceptions and have you viewing the statement 'act your age' in a whole new way!
