For the past decade, Jason Reid has spoken about managing invisible disability in the workplace to audiences around the world. Before becoming a speaker, Jason had a long career in television as a news manager despite living with two significant invisible illnesses. Being open about his health challenges prompted his employees to share theirs. He soon found out that 50 percent of his staff had their own invisible disabilities. Using open communication, and solution-focused strategies he doubled the productivity of his department within a year and won national and international journalism awards in the process.
