I learned a lot during this webinar, and I know there is so much more to learn and practice, individually & collectively. My key take-aways: - #Neurodiversity- not everyone thinks and interacts with the world in the same way- some disabilities may not be as obvious as others, and everyone in the #recruitment process can benefit from understanding this when they work with candidates - The Social Model of #disability understands that in the right setting, a disability can actually be a STRENGTH! 💪 I love this. - Most importantly, I left this meeting touched by this rule of thumb: focus on Capability versus Disability - taking the time to figure out what someone is CAPABLE of! 🙌 Thank you Bev Weinberg, OTD & Donna Carroll for sharing your insights. & thank you to American Staffing Association & the Innov8tors for opening this up to the public. #inclusion #staffing #capabilities #neurodivergence
Next Wednesday, July 17, join the 2023 Women in Leadership scholarship winners (also known as the Innov8tors) for the next installment of their ongoing webinar series, “Disability Inclusion and Equitable Workforces.” Experts will share best practices on creating opportunities for people of all abilities and our role in building more equitable workforces and communities. Register now on our website and join us at 1 p.m. ET next Wednesday!

Award-Winning DEI and Leadership Consultant | Speaker | Educator | Author | Creator of The Allyship Challenge®
Townes-Whitley's position as one of only two Black women leading a Fortune 500 company underscores the urgent need for greater diversity and inclusion in corporate leadership. Her call to make diversity a fundamental part of a company's DNA is a powerful message that should resonate across industries. By openly discussing the pressure she feels to perform and prove her worth, Townes-Whitley highlights the additional challenges women of color face in leadership roles. Her presence at SAIC is a beacon of hope for young women who may have doubted their potential to succeed in male-dominated fields. As we celebrate Townes-Whitley's achievements, we must not forget our collective responsibility to create a more equitable and inclusive business landscape. It's not just a goal, but a duty we all share. #ToniTownesWhitley #DiversityInLeadership #BreakingBarriers #InclusionMatters #RepresentationMatters

This article delves into the unique qualities and challenges that shape the leadership journey of Black women. From navigating intersectional identities to redefining traditional leadership paradigms, our contributions are invaluable and often overlooked. Black women in leadership often face additional challenges regarding equality in work metrics (moving targets) and budgets (limiting resources). How does your organization keep discrimination and stereotyping out of teams? While transparency and radical honesty can help decrease bias when assigning projects, it may not be enough.

I’ve never said this before… But the truth is, I’m here because someone else believed in me… Someone gave me their vote of confidence and it got me the Director title. But not every black woman in the workplace will have the know-how to get the support that she needs to move ahead in her career. And while we want to tell ourselves that we’re making progress in getting more black women into leadership positions, the stats don’t lie… In the 2023 women in the workplace report: → women of colour represented 1 in 16 C-Suite leaders → For every 100 men that were promoted last year, only 54 black women were promoted → Only 7% of VPs and Senior VPs were women of colour That’s why my purpose has never been more clear to me: 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 🔥 And we’re here to make history this women’s history month with something that’s never done before. Stay tuned for a special announcement next week 🖤 Drop a 🔥 in the comments below, if you’re ready to make history with me this women’s month ________ #Leadershipdevelopment #careeradvancement #diversityandinclusion #womenleadership #elevatewithrebecca
