You may have heard a whole lot of talk about DEI - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. In reality this usually translates into ensuring there are women on boards and in senior management (but not necessarily in ownership), or people of colour.
We don't often see DEI in action with people who have different abilities. That is why it was fascinating to see this post from Pathfinder, about their receptionist Gabrielle. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch it.
When I asked for permission to share it, I received the following unsolicited comments from the people at Pathfinder that I contacted:
"Gabrielle adds a lot to our office culture and brings us something special. NZDSA and Alvarium/Pathfinder are happy to get her story out."
"Very happy to see you want to use the video of Gabs – she’s such an important part of our office. You can’t converse with her and not walk away happier."
