Half Moon Bay, Calif., April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Athena Alliance, the global, digital learning platform for top women executives, today published an infographic that highlights women\u2019s approach to vocational freedom, when she has the time, treasure, and talent to pursue any passion or interest she desires. The infographic is based on a survey Athena sent to its membership community of more than 1,000 women executives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The survey was inspired by Athena\u2019s podcast, Third Act, hosted by Liz Tinkham, former senior managing director at Accenture and Athena board director. Tinkham shares the stories of both men and women who are currently in the \u201cthird act\u201d of their lives, doing what they wish to do after their big careers have ended. Through the podcast, Tinkham explores what it looks like to find new passion and meaning later in life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe common thread throughout the podcast and also demonstrated in the survey results is that giving back becomes the focal point for women later in life,\u201d Tinkham said. \u201cThese women are not going to retire to a golf course or to sit at home \u2013 they are ignited by new passions and an excitement to give back, especially to women and girls who are up and coming. These women want to pass on their knowledge and vast experience, often through mentorship, starting new businesses, or by joining a board.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
