Stop Aging in the Workplace! 4 Ways to Defy the Myths of Aging

Shattering the Mindless Myths & Misinformation of Aging is one of the greatest challenges for the Baby Boomer Generation!

It is critical to:

1. Develop an innovative model integrating aging and working based on current research and rapidly shifting environmental realities

4. Know that age does not automatically spell decline.

To accomplish this requires developing and actually maintaining a Sharp Crap Detector
