Ageism is an unpleasant reality for many professionals searching for new career opportunities. As industries evolve and new technologies emerge, seasoned professionals often find themselves facing biases about their age, experience, or adaptability. Leap Academy, a career development platform founded by Ilana Golan, believes that age does not diminish skill or value; in fact it can be a huge advantage if played right. Through its innovative approach to career and personal brand development, the platform provides the tools needed for professionals to overcome these challenges in the job market and get the opportunities, pay, and status they deserve.
Since its founding in 2020, the academy has quickly established itself as a game-changer in the world of career coaching and personal branding. Unlike traditional programs, Leap Academy focuses on meeting individuals where they are, helping them navigate career transitions, boost their confidence, and showcase their unique talents in a way that sets them apart in the job market.
Golan shares that ageism in the workplace shows up in a variety of ways. Employers may view older candidates as less adaptable, tech-savvy, or innovative compared to younger colleagues.
“It can feel like the world no longer sees your value,” explains Golan. “At Leap Academy, we focus on turning limiting beliefs around and showing our clients how to present their true value and why their age is an advantage.”
