Professional women over 50 face a triple-whammy of discrimination, including being not male, young, or linear in their career paths. As a result, they are leaving corporate life and taking their careers into their own hands, bringing with them their abundant wisdom, energy, and ambition. This book, based on new research by Dr. Lucy Ryan, challenges assumptions about declining midlife motivation and energy for women and provides insights on how to retain and develop this invaluable talent pool through a better understanding of their challenges and implementing simple changes.

Professional women have made significant contributions to our world, and women over 50 are deserving of our attention and ready to step up in our businesses. Dr. Lucy Ryan is a leadership coach, consultant, author, and passionate advocate for womens professional development. Her doctoral research project explored the phenomenon of midlife for professional women, a long-standing data gap, and she works with companies internationally to unlock the potential of this key talent pool.
