Today, Professor Kaufman is seen as one of the most innovative thinkers in the diversity and disability arena. As the former Policy Advisor to the White House on Diversity and Disability, an engaging professional speaker, anthropologist, clinician, entrepreneur, and policy architect, Professor Kaufman has a unique background that has allowed him the ability to work in a variety of capacities with corporations, governments, and nonprofits around the globe.
Professor Kaufman is a storyteller who shares his own personal journey of making his “wound into his bow” and passing this simple but powerful message along to others. From hiking in the Ecuadorian highlands with his family to being the first person with Cerebral Palsy to ski down a mountain to simply tying his own shoes with one hand, he has pushed the idea that anything is possible if given the will. Professor Kaufman has studied human behaviors globally from tribesman in South America to C-level executives in large Fortune 500 companies in order to master the image paradigm related to differences. Professor Kaufman challenges conventional wisdom while stimulating leaders to take full advantage of the business benefits that people with disabilities or diversities bring to their workplace, markets, and world. His company, J Kaufman Companies, provides innovative approaches to analyze and find solutions in areas ranging from leadership, change management, strategic thinking, and beyond.
