For the first time, <strong>we&#8217;re taking our groundbreaking disability inclusion training and consulting services to a national audience<\/strong>, marking a significant milestone for our organization.<\/p>\n<p>We launched our training and consulting program because we saw a gap in understanding how to build spaces where people with disabilities truly belong. Over the past two years, we\u2019ve trained thousands of leaders, teams, and businesses who are looking to move from awareness to action.<\/p>\n<p>Our journey began with a simple yet profound realization: despite growing awareness about disability inclusion, <strong>many organizations still lack the tools and expertise to create truly inclusive environments.<\/strong> In response, we developed a comprehensive training and consulting program that puts the lived experiences of people with disabilities at its core. Over the past two years, we&#8217;ve had the privilege of working with thousands of leaders, teams, and businesses, helping them bridge the gap between awareness and action.<\/p>\n<p>The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with our clients consistently reporting meaningful impact and lasting change. We&#8217;re now poised to share our expertise with an even broader audience, and we believe that partnering with national companies will be a powerful catalyst for achieving our vision: a world where disability inclusion is the standard, not the exception.<\/p>\n<p>The Disability:IN Global Conference &amp; Expo is the perfect platform for us to connect with over 5,000 business leaders from around the world who are committed to driving disability inclusion forward. By joining forces with these leaders and sharing our expertise, <strong>we&#8217;re confident that we can help create a future where inclusion is deeply embedded in the cultures of businesses everywhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Warmly,<\/p>\n<p>Gertrude<\/p>\n<p><em>If your organization is interested in our disability inclusion training and consulting offerings, connect with Director of Disability Initiatives Keeri Tramm at <\/em><a href=\"mailto:ktramm@lifeworks.org\"><em>ktramm@lifeworks.org<\/em><\/a><em> or 612-598-2104. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg__button-wrapper wysiwyg__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":4415,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"news-category":[85],"class_list":["post-4755","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"excerpt":"This July, Lifeworks is thrilled to debut as an exhibitor at the 2025 Disability:IN Global Conference &amp; Expo in Orlando, Florida, the world's largest and most influential corporate disability inclusion event.
