What does it mean to be a disability-confident leader?

What does it mean to be a disability-confident leader?

was the topic in the first of three pods I recently recorded with a client. I was asked to be their guest contributor across their mini series exploring the topic of disability-confidence.

Their pod was aimed at anyone who manages people – from exec leaders to supervisors. I had loads to share about what to avoid and what to prioritise based on good practice and from what I hear from disabled and neurodivergent colleagues who attend my personal development programme. I know some of the concerns managers have from my line managing disabled and neurodivergent colleagues training and webinars, so I was able to include some content covering answers I often get asked.

We covered the two key priorities for managers and their colleagues – practical suggestions for managing reasonable adjustment requests and hosting inclusive conversations.

My latest article shares some of the content we covered. Take a look and add your comments or questions.
