A double-whammy gender and age bias keeps some of the workforce’s most valuable members at a disadvantage. When Meryl Rosenthal and her cofounder started a human capital and workplace transformation consultancy in 2005, she was 41 years old.

More than 30 women reveal how their menopause and perimenopause symptoms have impacted their professional lives—and their fixes. Kacy Fleming was presenting in a boardroom when the burning started.

Science and data prove what we already know: that many of the cognitive capabilities that matter most in today’s complex, fast-moving organizations improve with age. For decades, the business world has quietly subscribed to a myth: that cognitive performance peaks early and declines steadily thereafter. It’s a belief baked into hiring practices, promotion decisions, and even redundancy strategies. Youth is equated with innovation, speed, and adaptability; age with decline, resistance, and risk.

And what you can do to curb the biological and social forces at play. After-work drinks are a nice way to bond with colleagues in your 20s and 30s. But, as people get older, different circumstances can necessitate more planning, and new avenues for making friends at work. Take Olga Valadon, 54, whose last corporate role was as chief of staff at Deloitte. “Both I and the people I became friends with faced different pressures, whether from work or family commitments,” says Valadon. “We were

After Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade talks with the U.S., small businesses in Ontario are bracing for the impacts of 50 per-cent tariffs. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says revenue may be slashed in half, with some businesses wondering if they can continue operating. The impact is felt further when the product is perishable, as in the flower growing industry. One expert told us the only viable option is to ship to the States because some products can’t go to other countries.
