This Tuesday 16th of June at 10am we will be hosting a Marketing and Accessibility talk with our Chief of Creative Access Caitlin Quinn.

Most organisations don’t have a "people or culture problem”.
They have system problems:
• Poorly designed documents
• Unusable policies
• Confusing communication
• Processes that block performance instead of enabling it

Caitlin will be addressing the above, sharing her knowledge and experience. You don't want to miss this! Sign up here: https://zurl.co/ChRzS



Video description: Caitlin, a white person with dark curly hair sits at their desk leaning into their hand, they are wearing a long=sleeve dark scoop neck top. They're smiling and say "Spend $1. Get $100 return. Are you coming along to our marketing and accessibility talk? On the 16th of June, I will be hosting and I can’t wait to see you there. We will be presenting some statistics and some useful facts to show the value of accessibility to your business, and how to make the case to others that you work with. Sign up, there is a link in this post and hopefully I’ll see you there. Bye bye."

We had our first in-person seminar for the month of June, yesterday in Redhill. The seminar included talks on how leaders have a responsibility to look past superficial HR policies and invest in the physical, cultural, and digital infrastructure that truly supports neurodivergent and disabled talent. Matt Eamer who was at the seminar said of his experience;

“I spent today at the brilliant in-person seminar, “The rise of inclusive companies: make your workplace accessible,” hosted by The Good Consulting Company
at Bel4 Coworking Redhill .

The biggest takeaway?
Most corporate accessibility initiatives are treated as low-level compliance exercises. This is a fundamental strategic error.
Inaccessible workplaces systematically filter out highly qualified disabled and neurodivergent talent long before day one. It chokes your recruitment pipeline, drives away innovation, and quietly hurts productivity…

A huge thank you to Heike Jord Knip for being an excellent host and speaker.
At me&you, we are deeply passionate about accessibility; but today was a great reminder that there is always more to learn, listen to, and implement. Growth means constantly challenging what we think we know.”

Our next in-person seminar is in Brighton on June 25th

A first-person selfie of two men smiling and giving a thumbs-up inside an office. In the background, a digital presentation screen reads "Creating space for neurodiversity in the workplace" with a logo for "The Good Consulting Company."

A presentation slide titled "Statistics on neurodivergence." It highlights text boxes with critical facts: Autistic people account for 11% of UK su***des; 30% of autistic people in the UK are in paid work; 65% of neurodivergent employees fear discrimination from management; 70% of neurodivergent employees experience mental health issues; and 1 in 4 or 5 people are neurodivergent.

A presentation slide titled "Intersectionality: Real Lives, Real Barriers." It outlines three diverse illustrated worker profiles; Emily (Autistic, needs quiet space), Ketut (Dyscalculia, struggles with arithmetic), and Sam (Tourettes, non-binary, mixed-race, navigates bias). Explaining how neurodivergence is shaped by race, gender, class, and culture.

Our Chief of Creative Access, Caitlin had some thoughts on putting accessibility first at our Groningen conference that she couldn't keep to herself! Here's 5 things she learned and thinks you should know too!

Image 1: Two women stand side by side smiling, with a bright blue background. Maria, on the left, has long brown hair and pink glasses, and is wearing a white blazer. Caitlin, on the right, has short curly brown hair and round glasses, and is wearing a green shirt with a grey vest. She is holding a microphone. Large white text at the top reads "5 lessons I learnt from our disability conference," with smaller text to the right that reads "& I think you should know too."

Image 2: Caitlin, who has short curly brown hair, is resting her head on their arms on the back of a seat, appearing to be napping. She is wearing a navy blue jacket. Her glasses rest in her hands below her head. Large white text at the top reads "Sometimes accessibility looks like a mid conference nap." Smaller text with a red arrow pointing to Caitlin reads "our Chief of Creative Access making use of the sensory blankets to rest."

Image 3: Heike stands at the front of a conference room presenting to an audience. He has short brown hair and glasses, and is wearing a grey jumper and blue jeans. Behind him is a large screen displaying a slide titled "Autism & Su***de: Disproportionate Harm," showing two circle diagrams comparing autism's representation in the general population versus su***de statistics. A floral arrangement sits on a table nearby. White text at the bottom of the image reads "People show up for the hard conversations."

Image 4: Two people stand facing each other indoors at a conference. On the left, a conference participant stands next to a camera on a tripod. On the right, Maria, who has long brown hair and is wearing a white blazer, holds a microphone toward them, appearing to conduct an interview. A blue branded pull-up banner is visible in the background. White text at the top reads "Lived experience insights are the most valued."

Video 5: White text at the top reads "My colleagues care about access just as much as me." Maria and Caitlin stand together laughing and chatting in front of a blue pull-up banner that reads "the good access conference; oi, welkom! Groningen, 14-15 April." Maria, on the left, has long brown hair and is wearing a white blazer, and is holding a microphone. Caitlin, on the right, has short curly brown hair and glasses, and is wearing a green shirt with a grey vest and striped trousers. The blue background behind the video frame matches the banner.

Image 6: A bold blue graphic with white text. At the top, large text reads "Change happens together, in boardrooms, at conferences, in conversation," with a curved white arrow looping back toward the text. Below a white dividing line, text reads "Find out how with The Good Access Newsletter" with a small newsletter icon, and a white arrow pointing toward it.

“The purple pound is the buying strength of people with a disability and this is not something we can underestimate.”
Join us for our online webinar tomorrow at 10am - where we will discuss more about maximising your business opportunities through accessibility and “the purple pound” so that your business can thrive. Link to webinar https://thegoodconsultingcompany.co.uk/events/how-to-stop-losing-18-trillion-disability-equity/

Video description:

Heike is a white man, with light brown hair and black rimmed glasses. He is wearing a white linen shirt and blue jeans, and sits on a grey couch in an office. Behind him is a glass wall. Heike uses his hands while he speaks;

“Hello, my name is Heike and I want to talk about the purple pound.
The purple pound is something that I'm quite passionate about as well.
And you will be thinking what is the purple pound?
The Purple pound is the buying strength of people with a disability.
And this is not something we can underestimate if we look at the world as a whole, this is $18.1 trillion of buying power of people with a disability. So this is not a market or a people that you just can shove aside. You need to invest in your company.
You need to have a look. How can we reach out to them?
This is the thing, and this is where I'm going to be talking about when we're talking about the Purple Pound. Yes, it is UK, but this can be replicated easily in other countries.
So if you want to learn more about how you can make your company more attractive to people and making sure they can use your services, use your website, make sure it's accessible, join our sessions and we discuss more and in more detail. Looking forward to meeting you.”
