Through my work — and through We Are All Disabled — my mission has always been clear: to explore, challenge and change perceptions, and ultimately disrupt the narrative around disability. But disruption isn’t about creating noise. It’s about creating change.

Over the years, I’ve come to understand that meaningful disruption can be measured. Not in applause or attendance figures, but in mindset shifts, structural change, and cultural impact.

For Me, Disruption Shows Up In Four Distinct Ways

Individual mindset shifts

Some of the most powerful change happens one conversation at a time. After talks and workshops, people often say things like “I’ve never thought about disability like that before” and “I feel more confident having conversations now”.

When someone begins to see disability differently — is disruption in action. It’s the instant perspective shifts from fear or uncertainty to curiosity and confidence.

Organisational change

True inclusion goes far beyond compliance. My work supports organisations to challenge unconscious bias, rethink culture, and embed disability confidence into leadership. When disability is no longer treated as a policy issue but as a leadership responsibility, disruption becomes long-term structural change.

That’s when inclusion stops being performative and starts being embedded.

Community ripple effect

The impact doesn’t stop in the room. When individuals take what they’ve learned back into their workplaces, families, networks and communities, the ripple effect grows. Feedback consistently shows that 100% of participants introduce positive changes after engaging with this work.

That is how cultural transformation happens; quietly, collectively and consistently.

Wider reach and global conversations

Through this website, my blog, media appearances, podcast interviews, and international collaborations, the message of We Are All Disabled continues to reach far beyond a single audience.

The growing global interest in disability identity, inclusion, and the Affirmative Model tells us something powerful: that Disability is part of the human experience. When we begin to recognise that truth, everything shifts.

For me, the real measure of disruption is mindset. It’s when we stop asking “How do we include disabled people?” and start recognising that we are all part of the same human story.

When discomfort becomes insight, insight becomes action and action becomes lasting cultural change, that is Disruption for good. And that is the impact I am proud to create every day through We Are All Disabled.
