Embracing Invisible Disabilities in the Workplace
This is both Jason’s signature program and by far his most popular.
One in three working-age adults lives with an invisible disability—a number that continues to grow.
Yet in most organizations, these challenges remain hidden, misunderstood, or mismanaged.
Award-winning storyteller and invisible disability expert Jason Reid pulls back the curtain with real-life insights and engaging stories that reveal what it’s really like to work with an invisible disability, and lead people with similar challenges. Drawing from his own lived experience—and years managing high-performing teams—Jason shows how invisible challenges can become unexpected assets in a culture built on trust, communication, and innovation.
With humour, honesty, and actionable strategies, Jason equips leaders and teams with the tools to create a workplace where everyone can thrive.

“The feedback I received was entirely and overwhelmingly positive. Well organized, interesting, thoughtful presentation. People loved the balance of anecdotes vs concrete actions that people can take away and use. On a personal level, I loved the camera switches! It added a nice dynamic touch that added to the engagement factor.”
