You have the experience. So why does the room keep doing the math on your age?
Marcylle Combs has been asked, point blank, how long she plans to keep working. She has also been told, at 66, that she was too old for the surgery she wanted. She got a second opinion, switched doctors, and kept going. Marcylle is a leadership expert and speaker who founded and ran home health and hospice agencies for decades, the author of Never Hire Your Friends, and a leader who has been hiring older workers since she was in her thirties.
In this conversation, Rosie and Marcylle talk about:
- What "when are you planning to retire?" really means, and the answer investors are hoping to hear
- The interview prep routine that matters more when you are the most experienced person in the room
- The uncomfortable truth about first impressions that Marcylle asks you to forgive her for saying
- What a 60-plus hire brings that no employer has to teach
- Why Gen Z is not the generation you need to worry about
- The one thing that instantly makes you look current
If you have been wondering whether it is too late, this episode says it is not, and shows you how to walk into the next room ready.
