I enjoyed this recent podcast discussion between Matthew Crawford, author of 'Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work', and Andrew Sullivan (on The Dishcast). Themes explored: antihumanism, what it's like to live in an ashram, bureaucracy, over-supervising children, Christopher Lasch and ideas about societal narcissism, disinformation, and many many other varied topics. Just a really interesting discussion to listen to.

In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I’m going to explore the transformative role that technology is playing in helping to support people with disabilities in the workplace. I want to look at how we can continue to raise awareness of the tools and solutions available that can make such a big difference for individuals. #peoplewithdisabilities #pwd #personswithdisabilities #assistivetech #assistivetechnology #tech4good

This time two years ago, on Episode 19 of the Towards Better Podcast- Elle Roberts and Ricky Esterquest chat about 'Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace'... . When asked about where or how to start, she says "Just start...Have the conversation". Here is a snapshot of the episode. . We also chat about: - Diversity and Inclusion in Workplaces and Communities - Having the uncomfortable conversations - how do we do better, if we don't know better? How do we ASK without being insulting? - Accommodations in the workplace - often not as hard or expensive as we think - Being a good ally - making your workplace SAFE for a more diverse community is about more than just having disabled toilets or SAYING you are a diverse workplace .
