“Who am I allowed to be here?”

📅 [Tuesday, October 7th, 10-11:30 am PT, 1-2:30 pm ET] 

Inclusion starts with self-awareness. This session invites participants to reflect on how identity, power, and visibility shape our lived experience — and how those experiences show up at work. Using the Wheel of Power & Privilege and models of disability, we’ll explore the ways our internalized stories impact how we see ourselves and others.

You’ll walk away with:

• Clarity on how identity, privilege, and stigma influence workplace dynamics

• Tools to unpack internalized messages around visibility and worth

• A guided worksheet on “Visible, Invisible, and Conditional Identities” to reflect on your role in creating inclusive environments

Great for: Anyone doing advocacy, people and culture work, navigating complex identities, or supporting others in a leadership, HR, or coaching role.

“Why is this so hard to talk about?”
📅 [Tuesday, November 4th, 10-11:30 am PT, 1-2:30 pm ET] 

Nonapparent disabilities are all around us — yet often misunderstood, minimized, or ignored. In this session, we’ll name what these disabilities are, explore why disclosure is so difficult, and examine the myths that keep people silent. You’ll learn how to foster understanding, reduce fear, and support real inclusion.

You’ll walk away with:

• A shared language for talking about neurodivergence, chronic illness, and mental health

• Scenario-based tools for navigating disclosure and accommodations

Great for: Managers, HR professionals, and people and culture leaders navigating nonapparent disabilities and access conversations at work.

“Am I allowed to ask for what I need?”
📅 [Tuesday, December 2nd, 10-11:30 am PT, 1-2:30 pm ET]

So many of us — disabled or not — have been taught to question our needs. In this session, we dive deep into internalized ableism and the scarcity beliefs that prevent people from seeking support. Through guided reflection and collective dialogue, we begin to rewrite the stories that say “you’re not disabled enough” or “others have it worse.”

You’ll walk away with:

• A clearer understanding of how internalized ableism shows up in your body, behavior, and beliefs

• Prompts to explore worthiness and nervous system responses and how this impacts how we show up in the world

• Tools for supporting deeper self-trust and sustainable self-advocacy and having this dialogue

Great for: Anyone who feels like they’re "not allowed" to rest, ask for support, or take up space — including educators, people and culture practitioners, HR professionals, Vocational rehab and those with lived experience.

“What if people just believed me?”
📅 [Tuesday, January 6th, 10-11:30am PT, 1-2:30pm ET] 

Trust is the foundation of real inclusion. This session breaks down the difference between self-ID and self-disclosure, explores how to respond to disclosures with care, and provides tools to cultivate a culture where accommodations aren’t feared — they’re welcomed.

You’ll walk away with:

• Tools for responding to disability disclosure with empathy, clarity, and accountability

• Language to help others understand the power of disclosure as an act of trust

• A step-by-step framework for supporting sustainable, not performative, inclusion

Great for: Supervisors, team leads, HR/People and Culture roles, and anyone supporting others through access or equity conversations.

“How do we design for all bodies?”
📅 [Tuesday, February 3rd, 10-11:30am PT, 1-2:30pm ET] 

Inclusion doesn’t stop at the interpersonal level — it must be built into systems. This final session is a participatory design lab, where we move from conversation to co-creation. You’ll explore how to embed inclusion into your policies, workflows, and culture in sustainable ways that don’t rely on one-time accommodations or burnout.

You’ll walk away with:

• An accessibility blueprint you can begin applying in your workplace or organization

• Frameworks for proactive accommodations, inclusive budgeting, and long-term equity planning

• Co-designed strategies to reduce harm and increase belonging across the board

Great for: Teams ready to move from awareness into sustainable action, with a focus on implementation and systemic change.
