Professional development for staff with disabilities

15 Feb 2017

“Achieving Your Potential” is a personal and professional development programme for University of Manchester staff with disabilities (both hidden and visible)

Now in its fourth year, this established programme is aimed at University staff at all levels who consider themselves to have a disability.

Through a mixture of workshops and one-to-one coaching, colleagues will be enabled to take more control over their personal and professional lives, to develop resilience and thrive at work, set and achieve personal goals and develop as positive role models for others.

Feedback from previous participants has been overwhelmingly positive:

“This is an ideal course for anyone with a disability (hidden or visible).  There is no judgment and the coaching is invaluable.”

“For the first time I have seen the positive aspects of having a disability.”

“This course has been life-changing and my colleagues and my manager have noticed huge differences in me.  I am far better able to negotiate complex situations and plan future development.”

The next programme commences on Wednesday, 29 March.
