044: Retirement? Not So Fast! Baby Boomers Capitalizing on New Opportunities

Power of the Pivot Podcast

The conversations around community, belonging, and connection have been a common theme lately.
Research shows that many baby boomers, 55 or older - about 50% did retire in 2021. Which was inspired by the pandemic. Believe it or not, today, they are making their way back to the workforce.
Another fun fact, half of the boomers in the workplace hold leadership positions. And because I am now one of them, I agree with some of the research that I have been reading. There is a tremendous need for our knowledge and our mentorship.
In this episode, I share some insights into how people our age are not slowing down anytime soon and why our demographic is the biggest untapped market out there. In addition, the sense of belonging and community is top of mind and because of that, I have a few ways we can all cultivate that.
