Coaching isn't about giving advice or sharing life experiences. It's about facilitating growth, helping clients explore their own paths, and encouraging self-reflection.

The mainstream media perpetuates the myth that Republicans appeal to younger voters while Democrats are old fossils, yet data shows both parties' representatives have similar median ages.

It's a truly unfortunate situation where a career-ending ultimatum forces older workers to make difficult choices, highlighting the challenges of ageism in today's workforce.

The best way to take the stigma out of a pejorative is to use it oneself, as seen with LGBTQ individuals owning 'queer'.

"Searching for somewhere to live in Dublin has been disheartening; many listings prefer female housemates and options are limited for someone in their late 40s."

"The Druids look almost exactly the same as they have always done for thirty years so I can't help thinking this is directed at me. Look - I'm nearly sixty years old. Of course I'm not going to look anything like my late twenties self!"

"Older adults have contributed so much to our society, and they continue to make their mark in more ways than one," said NYC Aging Commissioner Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez. "Older workers bring knowledge, reliability, and perspective, making them some of the most dedicated and hardworking employees. But ageism continues to prevent them from receiving the opportunities they deserve."

"I was considered weird but it's OK, 'cos things worked out. As a kid that identified as an artist, as queer, as a Little Monster - Lady Gaga wasn't just a pop star: she was a lifeline."

The terms OAP and middle-aged are just a shorthand for describing people of a certain age, they are not discriminatory, and this is just extreme political correctness.
