Emily Goodson Speaking Topics

  • Settling for Dysfunction

    Emily has lived with a physical disability for the past thirty years and the majority of her life. In this interactive workshop, Emily will walk attendees through her lived experience with physical disability and how she settled for dysfunction in her body for the majority of her life. In her healing process, Emily learned that she and many of us try to normalize our struggles when we in actuality could improve our circumstances.

    Emily walks attendees through her personal healing process and strategies and also raises questions about the privilege of healing and workplace implications.

    Walk away with:

    • Practical Tactics for creating healthier and more inclusive workplaces
    • Strategies for increasing individual physical and mental health
    • Increased empathy for populations living with disability.

  • Finding My Voice

    In this keynote, Emily walks audiences through the inner reconciliation process needed to be able to best influence others. She guides the audience through the different stakeholders one needs to influence both inside and outside of the workplace and points out that despite what you might think, the most important stakeholder when it comes to influencing is yourself and your own voice.

    Emily talks through the journey she went on to be able to influence thousands of people through her writing and speaking, which culminated in the publication of a column in the LA Times in February 2022.

    Attendees will gain:

    • Increased understanding of the shame many individuals with disability experience
    • Tactics that will allow workplaces to be more diverse and incorporate more voices
    • Self-awareness and communication strategies vital to growing an authentic brand.
