Dr Belinda Steffan is a senior research fellow and project manager at The University of Edinburgh Business School. The focus of her work is on how women navigate the world of work as they get older. In this interview, Belinda will share her research and insights into: 

• The impact of health on work
• The changing motivations for women as they get older
• How identity changes with age and how women can respond to these changes

We will record the session, so will aim for the first 20 mins to be an interview and, after that, we’ll welcome questions and discussion from those keen to attend.
