Starting with myself, I explain the situation that created the motivation to move from a salaried employee to business owner, providing supports to other people with disabilities, drawing on and presenting my lived experience and working with employers to create an equitable workplace.
Providing supports to an NDIS participant who had, unsuccessfully, tried several employment providers and had lost hope that they would ever work again. We worked together to create a resume that resulted in interviews for the positions they applied for, and conducted a mock interview to increase their confidence and prepare them for the real thing.
