A reflection of the Paralympics 2024 from one of our speakers Steve Judge. Contact us for enquires on booking him for your next event🌟 Is it great being disabled? While the Paralympics have been on in Paris it made Steve Judge, professional speaker and disabled athlete, consider this question for himself. “You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to what happens to you”💬 Steve says:  I’m not ‘happy’ about being disabled and I have pain every single day of my life but I accept the situation and I’ve dealt with it and continue to do so. That’s a mindset thing!🧠 In all situations I think about what I can do, not what I can’t do as I work towards my GOLD. (Goal, Opportunity, Love, Dream) and I don’t lean on my excuses🏅 #Paralympics #Mindset #SteveJudge #Motivation #aspeakers

🌍 Advancing in the future of DEI&A🌍 In 2024, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are evolving beyond the traditional frameworks to include a stronger focus on belonging and accessibility. As organizations strive to build more inclusive environments, these elements are becoming critical components of a comprehensive DEI strategy. 💡 Key Trends in DEI&A: ▫ From #Inclusion to #Belonging: Companies are recognizing that inclusion alone is not enough. The emphasis is shifting towards fostering a sense of belonging, where every employee feels valued, respected, and truly part of the team. ▫ #Accessibility as a Cornerstone of DEI: Accessibility is gaining prominence as a fundamental aspect of DEI. This means not only addressing physical accessibility but also ensuring that digital platforms, communication, and workplace practices are accessible to all employees, including those with disabilities. ▫ Addressing #SystemicBiases: Tackling systemic biases remains a critical challenge. Organizations are increasingly focused on identifying and dismantling the structural barriers that perpetuate inequality, from recruitment practices to leadership pipelines. ▫ Promoting #Equity in Leadership: Equity in leadership is becoming a top priority, with companies striving to ensure that leadership opportunities are accessible to underrepresented groups. This involves rethinking talent development and succession planning to promote a more diverse leadership team. ▫ Next-Level #DEIStrategies: As DEI strategies mature, the focus is on integrating these principles into every aspect of business operations—from product development to customer engagement. At A-Speakers, we are committed to helping you stay ahead of these trends by connecting you with the best expert speakers in DEI&A.
