Living with a disability is navigating uncharted territory every single day. There is no map because each person, and their disability, is unique.”
— Marianne DiBlasi
A coach is a candid, skillful, and objective partner focused on you and your development. With this partner, you are invited to deepen your own awareness and develop new skills. The outcomes can create dramatic shifts in view, and possibilities you’d never before seen or considered.
As a coaching professional, I offer my knowledge and practical guidance as someone who understands first hand how to live a fully engaged life as a person with a disability.
The Disability Visibility team of coaches provide coaching to the following individuals who are seeking a more enriching and meaningful life:
- Adults Living with a Disability Whether Visible or Hidden
- Adults Whose Lives have Changed Due to Illness or Injury from Disease, Accident, War, or Aging
We support the full integration of people with disabilities into all aspects of their personal and work life.
Together, we can create a path for individuals with disabilities to achieve:
- Greater clarity about if, when, and how to self-disclose about your disability.
- Expand your ability to make clear, direct requests for support and accommodations.
