How The Gig Economy Empowers Women with TEDx Speaker Lynne Testoni
The digitalisation of the economy carried out rapidly in the 2000s due to the development of information technologies and popularity of smartphone devices. On-demand technology platforms created jobs and employment forms differentiated from existing offline transactions and the new Gig-Economy was born.
In general, “work” was described as a full-time worker with set working hours and certain benefits. But as the economy changed, so too did the labour force, now characterised by independent, contractual labour and flexible working practices with variable benefits.
The rapid growth in this so-called “Gig Economy” raises the question of job security, lower pay and fewer benefits - BUT is this nothing more than a limited and pessimistic view that protects the current system? Is there a silver lining?
Join me on today’s episode as freelancer and content creator Lynne Testoni shares her experience with over 20 years in media before starting a business and the glowing opportunities in the gig economy when you focus on leveraging your strengths and the credibility you have with your network.
Lynne is a mover and shaker. She is a regular contributor in luxury homemaker magazines Home Beautiful, Inside Out, Country Style and Vogue Entertaining and Travel, recently delivered her first TEDx talk titled ‘How Freelancing can Empower the Older Woman’ in 2019 – a deep dive into ageism and how women in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s can take control of their career and the next chapter of their lives, and is a co-host on the podcast Content Bytes.
