Have you ever been told you’re “too young” to lead? Or “too old” to learn something new?
This week on UnCeiling You, we’re tackling one of the most overlooked—and damaging—biases in the workplace: age bias.
Whether it’s being seen as “too green” for an opportunity, or “too close to retirement” to invest in, age assumptions quietly limit talent across industries. And too often, we don’t even recognize them for what they are: barriers that keep people—and companies—stuck.
My guest, Sheila Callaham, founder of the Age Equity Alliance, brings years of expertise to this conversation.
We talk about:
✅ The invisible ways age bias shows up at work
✅ Why “career timelines” are outdated—and harmful
✅ How mutual mentoring across generations creates stronger, more resilient teams
✅ The business case for age-inclusive workplaces—and why it’s urgent
If you’ve ever felt unseen because of your age—or want to build a career that thrives at every stage—this episode is for you.

Here’s to unceiling our potential,
