Award-Winning Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) Leader | Colleague Empowerment | Talent Development
Today, my colleagues and I were incredibly proud to see Stephen Peacock, Sexual Assault Survivor and Advocate for Equity & Dignity, and VP of Provider & Product Strategy at Edelman Financial Engines share his story at the Disability:IN's Semi-Annual #InclusionWorks Program Meeting. Steve's vulnerability is impact in action. Steve is an inspirational leader, sharing his story as a sexual assault survivor with audiences at our workplace, high schools, conferences, and on NPR. One story at a time, Steve is helping those who have been sexually assaulted not feel alone or shamed and preventing sexual assault through education and building awareness. This is just one session, among so many ground breaking stories that catalyze action and hope. I encourage you to learn more about Disability:IN’s #InclusionWorks program and its 10 years of impact at https://lnkd.in/enw-AhDK #FromHereForward #DisabilityInclusion
