“I’m fortunate: my career has never felt like work and has given me freedom to learn and grow. I believe obstacles create opportunities and I want to empower people to take chances when they come.”

The Ability People’s Managing Director and Client Ambassador, Liz leads the team and represents us with corporate partners, outlining and embodying the values that make our organisation unique:

“Companies recognise the need for change, but often they don’t know how to make it happen in a sustainable, lasting way. Society’s overall attitude towards disability and lack of knowledge means that even with the best intentions, many businesses don’t know how to start down the road towards authentic inclusivity. And when working for real, long lasting change it’s vital that you speak to those who truly know what needs to be done.”
