We are not like any other company and happy to be different! Standing out allows us to showcase our unique strengths, ideas, and talents. In a world where conformity is common, we want to be noticed, remembered, and valued for our individuality. Embracing our differences helps us making a lasting impact, encourages creativity, innovation, and authenticity, all of which lead to greater opportunities and fulfillment. Standing out isn't just about being different—it's about embracing what makes us exceptional. #benjicare #disability #ndis #disabilityawareness #inclusion #specialneeds #accessibility #disabilityadvocate #disabilityrights #abilitynotdisability #diversity #autism #acceptance #community #support #inclusionmatters #goldcoastdisability #brisbanedisability #perthdisability

If your company has an equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) department, it is imperative that you have someone with a disability working as a consultant in that department. You need people with lived experience sharing their stories, ideas and resources in that department. #EDI #Equity #Diversity #Inclusion #Disability #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #DEAM #DisabilitymploymentAwarenessMonth #InclusiveEmployment

Have you ever stopped to think about changing the system to INCLUDE, as opposed to EXCLUDING? You may not be the one being excluded, but you are but one accident away from being excluded, as opposed to being included. We need to change the system.

what impact does societal values have on ableism?

I wholeheartedly agree. The term 'inspiring' often feels uncomfortable when used to describe someone with a disability. Although people usually mean well, I don’t see myself as inspiring simply for adapting to everyday life. In recent years I’ve transitioned from having a visible disability to an invisible one. I've often been called 'inspiring'......Surprisingly, I often encounter more barriers with an invisible disability than I did when I used a wheelchair. This experience highlights a critical need for societal education and awareness. Many people do not understand the challenges faced by individuals with invisible disabilities, and assumptions are often made based on appearance. It's essential to recognise that disabilities come in many forms, and the difficulties they present are not always visible. We must foster a more inclusive and understanding society, one that acknowledges and supports the diverse experiences of people with both visible and invisible disabilities. Education and awareness are key to breaking down these barriers and ensuring everyone can navigate the world with dignity and respect. #disabilityinclusion #disabilityrights #disabilityawareness #inclusiveeducation

Ever since my youth I've been super curious and incredibly fascinated by People, and the jobs/careers we choose to do and take on -and then- what makes someone appear incompetent or 'weak/too vulnerable' and what makes a Person become seen as skilled, capable, strong, hireable, promotable, and successful, accomplished, and/or worthy/meritorious. Unfortunately the answer is often 'The System' —which is set up for survival of the fittest and this is plain wrong. We must stop relegating workers/colleagues into the margins and look, feel, see, and experience each other as diverse and differentiated, each with our own unique capacity and capability to build the lives we wish to have and fulfill the dreams we are certainly able to know -this requires an entire revolution for transforming human potential and it needs our collaborative realization that immersive inclusion is in the complete participation of enlisting everyone in the developmental activities and disciplines to actualize the survival of the entire human species. Throughout my life I've been called 'so nice' and basically recognized for putting myself 'out there' and for being the voice of the People. I've never been called an inspiration -and that's okay because I'm inspired by me and Others every single day. As we do the excessively difficult work to innovate -which is to change the course of industry, society, government, and the world while supporting not only the fulsome development of all Persons but of all Human Beings as a species. Reading/learning from Bessel van der Kolk, MD is a great way to support and succour one's self and those around you in the workplace who are enabled by noble acts of change. Here's a quote to reflect on from: https://lnkd.in/e5ByBEdi "His thesis centres on trauma: the urgent work of the brain after a traumatic event is to suppress it, through forgetting or self-blame, to avoid being ostracised. But the body does not forget; physiological changes result, a “recalibration of the brain’s alarm system, an increase in stress hormones, an alteration in the system that filters relevant information from irrelevant”, as he says in his book. The stress is stored in the muscles and does not dissipate. This has profound ramifications for talking therapies and their limits: the rational mind cannot do the repair work on its own, since that part of you is pretending it has already been repaired." All I can advise for Persons with (dis)abilities, and our allies, is to remain loving and compassionate with yourself, find new and simple ways to feel gratitude, care, love, and kindness for yourself, your chosen work, the Life you build and grow, and for every member of your close good circle of family, friends, and community —and then rinse and repeat to keep going.

Just went to the center of my soul. What are you doing to hold the system accountable? Your own practices? Do you enable subtitles for the Zoom meetings you host? Is it a company policy that all individuals must have subtitles enabled for all meetings they host as a company employee through virtual meetings? Do you highlight the option to turn closed captioning on at the beginning of your meeting or share instructions on how people can do that?

What are you doing to change the systems you work, volunteer and participate in? Let's encourage each other that we're not the only people fighting for change. Staying connected with others is crucial to our general health and wellbeing. Feeling isolated or hopeless can contribute to depression and other mental illnesses, which can ultimately result in suicide. Regular, meaningful conversations can protect those we know and love. Staying connected is crucial not just to our individual health and wellbeing, but that of our movements and communities. Many activists struggle with feelings of isolation and hopelessness – even when surrounded by others. The reminder to check in with each other is a great initiative for suicide prevention, but it can also be a useful reminder in terms of activist burnout and the emotional health of groups.
