Act Your Shoesize

Age is an obsession for so many people, but why?

What does it really mean?

So many people worry about being too old for a certain role, or not being old enough.

When I was in my early twenties, I was responsibe for over 200 people.

Not everyone was happy about being led by a whippersnapper.

But as my boss used to say, if you’re good enough, you’re old enough.

The same rule applies to people changing career later in life, or re-entering the workplace after time out.

Age is utterly irrelevant – you’ll be measured by your contribution, not your grey hairs (or lack thereof).
