My dander was at an all-time high from this article about age bias in Communications by Mark Schumann. I have never responded to a post so quickly.

Just how old was the executive search consultant? Key variable here. If he’s in his 50s he’s blown his age arbitrary criterion. The market is flush with experienced pros who’d make him a great comm director. I think his theory is unfounded and perhaps illegal.

The best line of this article for me . . . "You have to force yourself to listen to yourself if you want to improve. If you don’t want to listen to yourself, why would anyone else?"

What you sound like in your head and what other people hear are very different things. How you sound to others: We get used to ourselves, and if you never check (get a recording of yourself talking), you just don’t …
