This week we welcome Dr. Matthew Wappett to the podcast to talk with us about strategies for community inclusion and belonging. Dr. Wappett is a researcher, a writer, and an educator in leadership, stress management, and inclusion. His expertise in Disability Studies informs his approach to "compassionate leadership," which has been taught in a variety of organizations and classrooms but is also completely relevant in our everyday lives. Dr. Wappett's research also looks at the impacts of laughter as a stress-reduction technique and a tool to create social inclusion. Download the latest episode to learn more!
