Listen "022 Type Casting: Why we need to stop categorising humans if we want a diverse work force"
Episode Synopsis
On this week's episode, we have special guest, Esi Hardy – Founder, Owner and Managing Director of Celebrating Disability. Esi is a trainer, disability inclusion expert, public speaker, podcaster and writer.
We draw parallels between Esi’s previous career as an actor and the roles she was often “typecast” into, and how as professionals seeking employment or working in the corporate environment, we are often being typecast or offered roles based on an "identity" we have been given, not taking into account, that human beings can occupy more than one identity.
We also discuss, with the shift to more virtual events, how event organisers need to work harder to ensure their events are accessible. Whether the event is IRL, Hybrid or Virtual, we can’t be truly inclusive if we are not accessible!
Some brilliant insights and advice in this episode, be sure to listen in full.
