Скачать или смотреть Midlife Reset: Redefining Learning After 40

The way we learn and the skills we need is changing faster than ever. AI, automation, and a shift to a skills-based economy mean that what worked in your 20s might not work in your 40s, 50s, or beyond. But here’s the good news: midlife can be your greatest opportunity to reinvent how you learn, grow, and shape what’s next!

In this episode of Signal Shift, we dive into the future of learning for people 40+: beyond the classroom, beyond college, and beyond career ladders. We explore why data literacy is quickly becoming the new life skill, why midlife is actually a peak time for certain cognitive strengths, and how rethinking education could open up decades of new possibilities.

We also unpack some surprising stats:
📊 Adults over 45 in the U.S. are 40% less likely to participate in training programs than their younger peers.
📈 Nearly 1 in 3 U.S. adults struggle with basic literacy and numeracy — a growing gap that impacts everything from problem-solving to digital fluency.
🧠 And research shows that many cognitive abilities peak in your 40s and 50s — meaning it’s never too late to learn new skills or reinvent yourself.
Whether you’re planning a career pivot, exploring a new purpose, or simply want to future-proof your brain, this conversation is for you.
