Ageism in the Knowledge Era | Jennifer Manuel | TEDxSacramento

Examining the historical forces that form our (mis)perceptions of the value of today’s Baby Boomers in the workforce, Jennifer Manuel makes the case for shedding stereotypes about older workers that no longer serve us in today’s knowledge-based economy. Jennifer is passionate about helping women navigate their most challenging career transitions with grace. As the ’Millennial Advocate for the Baby Boomer Generation’, Jennifer helps retiring women define their ‘encore’ careers, encouraging them to pave the way for the next generation of women in leadership. She proudly serves as a Leadership Ambassador for Take the Lead Women, VP of Community Outreach for NAWBO-Sacramento, and a leadership & management instructor at the University of California, Davis Extension. An Organizational Psychologist at heart, Jennifer holds her M.A. from New York University in I/O Psychology and undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Philosophy from Santa Clara University.
