Host Wendy Sellers sits down with Aaron Golub, the first legally blind Division I athlete to play in a game at Tulane, to explore how assumptions about disability can obscure a person’s true capabilities. Their conversation challenges HR professionals and managers to look beyond perceived limitations and create workplaces where people are evaluated based on their skills, potential, and performance.
Our guest, Aaron Golub, is the first legally blind Division I athlete to play in a game at Tulane. He was named a team captain and went on to become an NFL free agent. We dive into the concept of assumptions and how people could look at a person with a disability and immediately form an opinion about what they can or cannot do. HR and managers (and society as whole) must understand the difference between someone's perceived limitations and their actual capabilities!
