Leadership Fundamentals for Women with Disabilities

Women with disabilities experience a wide range of microaggressions that reflect both ableism and sexism. There is a prevalent assumption that women with disabilities are incapable of working, learning, taking on new challenges, or participating in events and activities with colleagues. This playlist helps unpack some of the most common biases women with disabilities face, as well as research-backed, actionable steps you can take to combat them. Each video is accompanied by a guide specific to the experiences of women with disabilities. The guide helps you discuss with your peers how best to navigate these challenges and thrive at work.

Have you ever felt like the women in your workplace have to go to great lengths to prove themselves—while people just assume that men are smart and capable? It’s time to shatter the unfair perception that women are less suited to leadership. In this video, we provide actionable advice on how you can combat performance bias, get credit for your contributions, and cultivate relationships that will propel your career to new heights.  

Each playlist is six months of curated content for women with shared identities, career stages, or skill-building goals. We provide a kickoff guide to set the stage for your first Circle meeting, and custom discussion guides for each of the remaining months.
