Don't use age or identity as a source of judgement!
In this brief presentation, the speaker examines common misconceptions surrounding age and identity bias in professional settings. They argue that citing a person's age—whether they are perceived as too young or too old—often masks deeper concerns about experience, education, or knowledge, and that age itself should never be the basis for judgment. The talk also highlights unconscious identity biases, urging listeners to become aware of their hidden assumptions. To surface these biases, the speaker recommends actively seeking feedback from colleagues by asking whether one's language or behavior reflects a worldview that doesn’t apply universally. The overall message is to replace vague age‑or‑identity excuses with concrete, evidence‑based criteria and to cultivate self‑awareness through external input.
