Invisible Disabilities Week speaking engagement for The Co-operators

In less than 10 days, I’ll be speaking virtually to 200-300 employees at The Co-operators about disability biases and beliefs, supporting invisible disabilities and fostering an empathetic, inclusive culture - a dream fit for Invisible Disabilities Week next week!

From my story of hiding my rare muscle disorder as much as I could for 30+ years, to rethinking common invisible disability myths and swapping in more inclusive language/responses, I’m so excited to speak to the ERG members - one of my favourite audiences!

To me, Invisible Disabilities Week (Oct 19-25) is about creating visibility and community for those living with them, and to encourage others to share their stories and experiences.

Because every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place. ✨
