I’m 63 and for the first time in decades if not my career I’ve ended up in a place where I don’t get anxious when a manager asks to talk to me.

    Ditto!! I’m 56 and couldn’t be happier and more confident at work. It makes all the difference when you love what you do!

    40, and this is one of the few times where I've had a job, and I wasn't basically in flight or flight mode all day at work.

    Awesome! I'm 47 and have finally reached the point in my career I can be closer to my authentic self. That alone makes me feel better. And when things are weird, I practice "strategic silence" -- it's not being untrue to myself, rather allowing me the space to think and choose my words to be most effective. Yay for us!
