What our members say...
I once heard someone say he was the first disabled person he had ever met. That sums up the isolating experience of having a disability. The workshop I went on unlocked the fear of being who I am - of sharing my experiences - of being my brilliant self at work.
We needed to bring people together to ask some big questions. Did our strategy have focus? Were we executing it adequately? Were we rewarding our volunteers correctly? Did our executive sponsor have our backs? Ultimately, how would we know we were doing well as a network?
I had no idea how hard it was to navigate your career as a disabled employee in my organisation. It wasn't until I took part in 'Fishbowl' that it dawned on me that I held the power to help talented people do even better at work.
