  • Real career advice, no sugar coating!

    Loren is a gem and she tells it like is. She is passionate about helping the older workforce create career strategies and tactics that actually work for the broken talent acquisition model that is being hampered by AI. She is thoughtful, intentional and doesn’t shy away from giving listeners the truths about the current job marketplace.
