Jason Reid:
Invisible Disability and Vulnerable Leadership Expert
For more than a decade, award-winning speaker Jason Reid has been helping organizations understand and support employees with invisible and non-apparent disabilities. As a global voice for inclusion, he brings honesty, humour, and hard-earned insight to every stage — offering practical tools to build healthier, more human workplaces.
Before becoming a sought-after keynote speaker, Jason built a 20-year career in television news, serving as a national senior manager and Head of Content at The Weather Network. While successfully leading high-performing teams, Jason quietly managed two major hidden health conditions — experiences that would ultimately shape his leadership philosophy and professional mission. His decision to disclose his illness to his team transformed not only his life, but theirs — leading to a dramatic boost in engagement and productivity, and teaching him the true power of vulnerable leadership.
Since then, Jason has spoken to audiences on three continents, earning the trust of Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, financial institutions, health organizations, tech firms, and national retailers. His client list includes respected names like TD Bank, Bombardier, IKEA, and Coinbase. Whether he’s speaking to frontline staff or executive teams, Jason’s message resonates across roles, industries, and leadership levels.
Beyond his solo work, Jason is known for his dynamic collaborations with other experts on complex workplace topics including neurodiversity, mental health, psychological safety, and inclusive team leadership. He is also the co-founder of Reid & Light, a theatrical keynote duo with Kristin Light, plus the founder and CEO of InclusionSpeakers.com, a boutique speaker agency that represents diverse voices making an impact across Canada and the U.S.
Jason’s presentations are more than just talks — they are transformative conversations that challenge assumptions, reframe leadership, and help organizations better support the untapped talent that lives behind the words “I’m fine.” His stories are grounded in lived experience and supported by real-world results — empowering teams to build more inclusive cultures where everyone can contribute, thrive, and belong.
