In business, one of the most transformational actions you can take is to hire, listen to, and follow disabled leaders.

This challenges the outdated notion that disability limits potential, it doesn’t. In fact, it represents one of the greatest untapped sources of growth and innovation.

For organizations ready to lead, here are key principles I advocate for:

– Accessibility: It’s not just a checkbox; it’s a fundamental culture shift.
– Inclusion: Without tangible action, it merely becomes a branding exercise.
– Disability : It’s not a niche market; it’s a massive $13.5 trillion global opportunity.
– Leadership : Disabled individuals are not passive participants in inclusion efforts; we are here to lead.

To drive real change, it’s imperative to ensure that disabled voices are present in decision-making spaces.
