Myth Busting - Do you need an adjustment‪?‬ Be #PeopleSmart

Jodie Greer, Founder of Be #PeopleSmart and Amanda Newman, Project Manager at Accenture, Founder of Career Mum, breast cancer survivor and all round super human, talk about how workplace adjustments, or accommodations, aren't solely for disabled people.
Amanda shares her own story of being diagnosed and surviving breast cancer and the amazing support she receive both at home and at work. Amanda also gives some great advice, and shares why adjustments are making all the difference to her return to work.
Have you ever seen an email that was sent to 300 colleagues about the sender's breast? Amanda's colleagues have and it's very empowering.
You'll also hear about how both men and women find cancer, and other health conditions, which relate to the more 'unmentionable' parts of their bodies difficult, particularly in the workplace.
Amanda's empowering, confident and positive attitude to work, life, and health, are refreshing and there's at least one lesson to be learned from this episode for all of us.
