Now, add a global pandemic to the mix. It’s safe to say that it’s a stressful time for women over the age of 40 looking for work after a long break. One company is tackling this challenge head-on.Julia Wuench:We founded EvolveMe to give women in midlife the program we wish we had when we were in transition.
We knew there were so many women in our position and yearned for a like-minded community that wanted a next chapter. When we founded EvolveMe, we wanted to make the process fun, rewarding and doable — not isolating and frustrating — so women could stop spinning their wheels.There’s so much opportunity for women over 40 but we don’t see that celebrated in our culture. In midlife, women bring an invaluable combination of skills, wisdom, judgment and life experience to the table.
The women we work with want more meaning and flexibility in their work. They want to get off autopilot in their careers. They want work that fits into the rest of their lives rather than the other way around.
That a very nice thing to be done.
