The other day my friend Susan Brownfield told me about an article she read in the Huffington Post about how women over 50 are invisible.
We laughed about this, as we are both over 50 and more visible than we have ever been.
In fact, I just had my 51st birthday, and in the past year, I have:
- Given keynote addresses in Romania, Poland, Croatia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Texas, as well as several virtual addresses
- Published almost 200 articles
- Trained more than 3,000 people on how to use ChatGPT in HR
- Performed improv comedy to sold-out crowds
- Taken a class on stand-up comedy and performed at multiple open mic nights (and only completely bombed once!)
- Conducted over 50 webinars
- Performed in a community theater production of Sleeping Beauty
And that’s just my first year of being in my 50s! I have every intention of making this year even better.
As for my friend Susan, since turning 50, she’s founded a theatre company and performing arts school, taught hundreds of students music, produced multiple plays, starred in numerous plays, and sang in major productions.
Oh, and she also performed improv comedy with me to sold-out crowds.
