Fortunately my life journey as a businesswoman with a disability, and MBA graduate with extensive experience in this professional space, has provided me with many stories to share around the lived impact of barriers, enablers, and the benefits to all of creating a disability-confident economy. I have had the privilege of being involved in a diverse range of disability inclusion-focused projects across the globe, including working with Humanities International, UNDP, and a range of local and international employer organisations committed to building a disability-accessible and confident economy and talent pipeline.SPECIALITIESEquity, Reasonable Accommodation, ERG, Employee Resource Groups, Accessibility, Disability Awareness, Training, Awareness Campaigns, Communications Campaigns, International Speaker, Panelist, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Lived Insights, Disabling Barriers, Disability Advocacy, Disability Confident, Strategic Advisor and Business Leadership.LET’S CONNECT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER+44 7375 624 344 lesa@bradshawleroux.co.zawww.lesabradshaw.com
