The Invisible Ceiling

To dismantle barriers to leadership, efforts must be made on multiple fronts, including tackling systemic issues within your organisation, ensuring workplace accessibility in all aspects, and fostering belief in people's inherent worth and capabilities.

Incorporating Pioneer 100 in your employee development initiatives supports these goals by empowering differently-abled employees to aim high, gain key insights from business leaders, and embrace leadership opportunities.

Your company can join Pioneers of Change by either enrolling your disabled talent in the Pioneer 100 programme or sponsoring disabled entrepreneurs to participate.

Additionally, we welcome support in the form of speakers or access to spaces for our meetings and candidate networking events.
