| Jeanne Lazo had her 23-year telecommunications career interrupted by the onset of a disability. That career was with Ernst & Young where she worked for private and public companies and government entities, including American Express, Mattel, Metropolitan Water District, Southern California Gas Company, Oppenheimer Mutual Funds, and the State of California. After becoming disabled, she applied her consulting skills and knowledge to solve the resource-draining effects of disability on employers and the U.S. economy. Employees lack knowledge about how the disability system works, their rights and how to rebuild their lives. This lack of knowledge led to her book, Persistence is Power: A real-world guide for the newly disabled employee. |
