How Disability Help Group’s Leadership Training Improves Support for SSDI Claims
At Disability Help Group, everything we do is focused on helping people navigate the Social Security Disability (SSDI) process with confidence. That’s why our leadership team recently took part in an intensive two-day training designed to strengthen how we lead, communicate, and support our teams.
Because at the end of the day, better leadership means better support for the people who rely on us.
Why Leadership Matters in the SSDI Process
If you’ve ever applied for Social Security Disability benefits, you know it’s not exactly simple. Between paperwork, deadlines, and potential denials, the process can feel overwhelming fast.
That’s where a strong team really makes a difference, and strong teams start with strong leadership.
This training focused on improving how leaders communicate with their teams, stay aligned, and keep the focus where it belongs: on the people going through the SSDI application or appeals process. When that foundation is solid, it makes everything smoother for the clients we’re helping every day.
Stronger Teams At Disability Help Group
The first day of training was led by Dr. Ben Sorensen, President and CEO of Sorensen Consulting, Inc. and a U.S. Navy Reserve Chaplain.
He worked closely with the team on real, practical ways to improve communication, strengthen team alignment, and build a high-performing culture. Nothing theoretical, just tools leaders can actually use day to day while supporting people through SSDI claims and appeals.
“The customized training provided actionable communication strategies that can easily be applied in how we lead and engage our teams.” – Natale Burns Managing Advocate
Learning What Leadership Really Looks Like
The second day took a different approach, focusing on values-based leadership with the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership.
Led by Dr. Justin Habash, the session explored what it truly means to lead with integrity, courage, commitment, and sacrifice, not just in theory, but in real-life situations.
Through hands-on exercises, the team at Disability Help Group worked through challenging scenarios and made decisions under pressure, the kind of thinking that translates directly to guiding teams who are helping clients through complex Social Security Disability claims.
One of the most impactful moments was hearing from Gary L. Littrell, a retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major, alongside Suzanne Rampe Littrell. With fewer than 70 living Medal of Honor recipients in the U.S., it was a rare chance to hear firsthand what leadership under pressure really looks like.
What This Means for SSDI Clients
This wasn’t just a leadership event, it’s something that directly impacts the people we serve.
By continuing to invest in our leadership, Disability Help Group is making sure our team is better equipped to help with every part of the Social Security Disability process, from initial applications to appeals after a denial.
That means clearer communication, stronger support, and a more personal approach for every client.
