With people living longer and with investments not always working out, there are a lot of people aged over 65 who make their way back into the labour force, sometimes by plan by often because after leaving their jobs they realize that they are not yet done with work.  To talk about how this is playing out, Linda Nazareth is joined on this episode by Mike Drak, author of  and Simon Chan, CEO of Adapt with Intent Inc., a boutique advisory and coaching firm that helps individuals, leaders and organizations adapt to the Future of Work.
