Webinar: Disability Literacy 101 – Inclusion Education for the Workplace

November 20, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

An event banner stylized as a virtual meeting window. A I Literacy for Small Businesses featuring WACADS Group. Free to attend virtual event.

Understanding disability isn’t about training. It’s about familiarity. It’s about introductions and conversations. It’s about the comfort, confidence and competence that follows.

Mindset’s Disability Literacy 101 seminar challenges assumptions, stereotypes and biases with authentic lived-experiences shared by highly-regarded subject-matter experts representing various disabilities.

Wherever you may be in your diversity, equity and inclusion journey, mindset is fashioned to help you move the dial.

Presented by mindset’s Executive Producer Jeff Tiessen, PLY. Informed by 45+ years of lived-experience as a double-arm amputee, and 30+ in the media business, Tiessen is a 3x Paralympian and gold medalist, award-winning author, advocate, publisher, producer and educator.
