I just saw an ad for an AI course that started with
“To the women over 50 who are afraid of getting fired…”
Really? That is the pitch? Fear, flowers, and firing?
Here is the truth. Women over 50 are not afraid. We are experienced, adaptable, and powerful. We have led through recessions, technological shifts, reorganizations, and the rise of AI. We have also raised kids (and sent them off), managed households, volunteered, cared for spouses, traveled for work, and continue to give 150% in our careers.
Is there an ad targeting men in their 50s who are worried about being fired? Would the images include beer, football, and a grill?
AI is not something to fear. It is something to harness. What we need are inclusive programs that respect experience, build confidence, and help all professionals of every age use AI to lead smarter and faster.
Instead of telling women and men they will be unstoppable in a week, let us acknowledge what they already bring to the table and show how AI can amplify it.
Because at 50 and beyond, the only thing we should fear is marketers and companies who underestimate us. Coursiv, do better!
