  • Chief DC Clubhouse 1401 K St NW, 4th Floor Washington, DC, 20005 United States (map)

Join author and workplace culture expert Emily Goodson for a candid and inspiring conversation about leadership, identity, and the future of disability inclusion.

In this special session, Emily, who is a leading disability advocate will sit down with Chief Member Randi Braun, her former coach, to discuss her upcoming book, Dating Disability: 15 Stories of Dealing with the BS and Building Confidence. In it, she shares how her lived experiences as a woman with a physical disability have shaped her voice, values, and vision for more inclusive workplaces.

Drawing from her background as a former startup HR leader and consultant, Emily will share insights on building confidence, navigating bias, and leading with authenticity. Together, Emily and Randi will also explore the intersection of personal empowerment, systemic change and why disability inclusion must be part of any modern leadership conversation.

This session is ideal for women leaders, parents of children with disabilities, and anyone seeking to lead with empathy, courage, and a deeper understanding of what inclusion really looks like. Please join us to honor Disability Pride Month.
