What does it look like to lead with purpose, advocate for equity, and thrive at 70?
In this episode of Don’t Be Caged By Your Age, I’m joined by Robert Baker, a globally respected DE&I consultant, speaker, coach, and age-positive leader, whose decades-long career continues to inspire change across generations and industries.
After 42 years at Mercer, Robert launched Potentia Talent Consulting, where he delivers powerful keynotes, inclusive leadership coaching, and transformational allyship workshops to organizations worldwide.
At 70, Robert is not only a celebrated pro aging trailblazer - recognized as a Top 50 Gender Equity Trailblazer and Corporate Male Champion of the Year 2024 - he’s also a digital nomad, reverse mentoring advocate, and a champion of intergenerational inclusion.
In this rich and hopeful conversation, we discuss his journey, the power of flexibility in the modern workplace, how AI is shifting workplace dynamics, and how leaders can actively dissolve ageism to build a future that celebrates all generations.
Whether you're over 65 or just planning for your next act, this episode is a joyful invitation to live, lead, and grow on your own terms.
