Transforming Workplace Culture Through Authenticity
Manage episode 422615738 series 3474034
How do societal movements intersect and diverge when it comes to identity and inclusion? On this special Pride Month episode of Access Chat, we're celebrating the vibrant intersections between the LGBTQIA+ and disability communities. We explore the profound challenges and victories that shape these communities, with Deborah sharing her personal journey of navigating ADHD stigma and Antonio emphasizing the need for international solidarity within the disability movement. By drawing parallels between the significant strides made by the LGBTQIA+ community and the ongoing battles faced by those with disabilities, particularly those with hidden and neurodivergent conditions, we aim to foster a conversation that is as celebratory as it is critical.
Ever wondered how openly embracing one's identity can transform workplace culture? Join us as we discuss the complexities of diversity and inclusion in the business world, highlighting the courageous contributions of LGBTQIA+ executives and the persistent barriers faced by leaders with disabilities. We delve into the systemic prejudices that equate disability with incompetence and the higher costs associated with creating truly accessible environments. As we celebrate Pride Month, let's reflect on the importance of embracing our authentic selves and the ripple effects this can create in society. Tune in for an episode that balances celebration with a call to action for greater inclusivity and progress.
