ADA compliance doesn’t happen in theory.

It happens in real time, with real people, and often in situations that are anything but straightforward.

The ADA Decision Lab is a live, working session where we take the complexity of ADA, FMLA, and leave management and turn it into clear, defensible decisions you can actually make in your organization.

Bring your questions. Bring your hard cases. Or come listen and learn from others navigating the same challenges.

This is not a lecture. This is where the real work happens.

What's Included:

  • Weekly Live Sessions (Tuesdays at 10 a.m. PT)
    60-minute sessions focused on real-world decision-making
  • Live Q&A Every Session
    Ask questions, pressure-test decisions, and get clarity in real time. Each week Rachel will take your questions as she coaches you through solutions to help you make decisions that fit within your organization.
  • Session Recordings + Content Library
    Access all session recordings on your personal podcast link.
  • Direct Access to Rachel’s Thinking
    See how decisions are made, not just what the law says.

This is for you if…

  • You’re responsible for ADA, FMLA, or leave decisions.
  • You’re tired of gray areas with no clear direction.
  • You want to build confidence in your decision-making.
  • You’ve attended training but still find yourself thinking, “What do I actually do here?”
  • You want to pressure-test your approach before making the call.

What
Makes This Different

Most training teaches the law.

This teaches decision-making.

Most programs:

  • Focus on legal standards
  • Stay in hypotheticals
  • Avoid the messy realities

The ADA Decision Lab is different.

We work through:

  • Real scenarios
  • Real constraints
  • Real organizational dynamics

Because knowing the law is only the starting point.
Making the decision is the work.

Program Details

  • Dates: July 1 through December 22 (25 weeks of support)
  • Schedule: Weekly sessions, held Tuesdays at 10 a.m. PT
  • Session length: 60 minutes
  • Platform: Live via Zoom (audio recordings available)

Occasional schedule adjustments may occur due to Rachel’s speaking and training commitments. All sessions will be communicated in advance, and recordings will be provided via a course library after the live recording. 

You will have access to the recordings and resources for a full year.
