Disability and Opportunity: What Leaders Need to Know

Conversation between a young man and a young woman in a wheelchair at a company meeting By isitophotostock

This month in our blog, I shared that one of Kadabra’s team members has been struggling to cope with a serious disability. July 27th marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into U.S. law in 1990. I’ll admit that for as much as the ADA has been lauded as important for our society to embrace from an equity and inclusion perspective, it has not been easy for most organizations, including ours, to incorporate in practice.?

From costly facility upgrades to expensive court battles over the legal definitions of what constitutes a “disability” I’ve noticed that for most leaders, HR practitioners and business owners ADA compliance tends to be associated more often with great headaches instead of opportunities.??

But when a leader or someone they know suddenly becomes disabled or discloses that they are living with a disability, the leader’s view tends to expand, and it may even nudge them into an opportunity zone…. Click here to read more on our blog.

On another note, Kadabra’s participation in SHRM24 Expo was a roaring success! Monica, Emma and I had a great time forging new connections and we came away with fresh insights about the leadership challenges HR practitioners navigate every day.

We loved introducing folks to Kadabra, The Learn Lead Lift Framework? and our NEW on-demand or live facilitated video based course, Leading the Learn Lead LIft? Way. Over the course of those brief meetings we witnessed hope and inspiration replace many an HR practitioner’s frustration. Magical!
