Relax and Get the Job Done: A Simple, New Disability Etiquette

Business Meeting

Rather than a list of rules that no one would ever memorize and just makes people more nervous than they already are around people with disabilities (and so leads employers to imagine that hiring or retaining them would be a challenge), this webinar featuring NBDC’s training consultant Gary Karp, provides a clear, business-centered, and current model of disability. Built around three clear principles, this webinar will allow you to relax when you encounter a person with a disability, who is as likely as anyone else to be focused on personal and professional goals – and hold forth about sports or art or history as anyone else. In a transformed modern world, people with disabilities are able to contribute at a scale only recently possible, and the only way to fully embrace their role in business success is to get this fresh, clear picture of real people whose potential is immense, untapped, and still being unleashed.
