Becoming a disabled leader with Jamie Hale

Consider the ableism in our traditional views of leadership and explore what disabled understandings of leadership might be like.

The first of two workshops with CRIPtic Arts Executive and Artistic Director, Jamie Hale.

What does it mean to be disabled and a leader? What does disabled leadership look like, and how can we learn from one another?
