Book IWD Speaker: Alli Kushner
Bringing a fresh voice to leadership and caregiving, helping organizations embrace empathy, growth & authenticity
Caregiving touches everyone at some point, whether we are the caregiver or the cared for. Becoming a parent, supporting aging parents, and managing invisible labor are life-altering shifts.
It is the most common leadership training program no one talks about. While nearly every employee will face caregiving at some point — becoming a parent, supporting aging parents, or managing invisible labor — there’s still an unspoken expectation to move forward as if nothing has changed.
That’s the story writer and advocate Alli Kushner is telling.
Six months after having her first child, Alli checked herself into an intensive program for postpartum depression.
Her raw, unflinching essay about that experience appeared in the New York Times’ Modern Love, and since then her writing has been published in Forbes, Fast Company, Business Insider, HuffPost, and more, and she’s appeared on outlets including NBC’s South Florida Live and Good Morning Austin.
From startups to Fortune 500s, she speaks about how caregiving rewires us — and how that rewiring can become a source of leadership strength.
