I have spent a lifetime challenging these myths. My #disability has given me the strength to excel in dispelling these myths. I have been flexible, delivered high value in #product and organizational #efficiency, taken on more work, and led many amazing people to become #leaders.
Image reads: 5 Myths about Disabled people - Disabled people are difficult employees, Disabled people are too expensive to employ, Disabled people aren't reliable, Disabled people can't carry a full workload, Disabled people can't be leaders.
