Let’s bring invisible conditions to the forefront!
Invisible Condition, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging speaker, facilitator, and coach.
Accenture research has shows that 76 percent of employees with disabilities do not fully disclose their disabilities at work. Further, the 2023 DEI report found that only 4.6 percent of employees self-identify their disability status with employers. - Accenture Disability Inclusion Report
Does your organization include disabilities as part of your DEI strategy? If so, yay! But the data shows that most organizations do not! Even though every organization has employees who live with a disability, often they aren’t comfortable disclosing even if they need to or want to!
So, let’s work together and normalize the things that make everyone their normal.

Testimonials
“We’re so lucky to have Tim come as a keynote speaker at our university event on resilience. He was engaging, authentic, and found a way to really connect with the class through his personal stories. We learned a lot from Tim and would highly recommend reaching out to him if you need a guest speaker.”
“We had great feedback about our company’s Lunch & Learn with Tim on the topic of Invisible Conditions! Tim’s leadership & vulnerability opens the door to an important conversation. Through the power of sharing, people felt seen and heard, and a little less alone. The session was a great opportunity for us to reflect on the power of our words, and to “Walk a Mile” in one another’s shoes – one of our core values at Squirrel!”
“I really loved both the energy and sense of curiosity that you brought to [our podcast episode]. True curiosity is rare, so that’s a real credit to you.”
“We had some great discussions about the language we use and how best to break down stigmas. Tim provided lots of great information and knowledge through his PowerPoint and we all learnt so much from the session! I would definitely recommend Tim if you’re looking for someone to discuss invisible illnesses and would recommend checking out his podcast too. ”
