MJ Speaks

“You’re Either Disabled or You’re Going to be…”

Uncover the Talent and Potential of EDI

When MJ rolls into a room, people notice. It is not only the purple hair and the wheelchair, It is the energy she carries, unmistakable, undeniable, unforgettable. She dominates a space, but never for herself. Her first pillar is clear: first, seek to serve others.
“Inclusion begins there,” she says. “I say seek to serve first; everything else follows.”
MJ Lace is a global speaker, social worker in training and educator who has been championing the potential that can be unlocked by including everyone. She has refused to allow a physical disability to prevent her from founding a successful business and winning global awards for her commitment to diversity.
Her own story shows that even having been dead for three minutes doesn’t need to stop you from creating a better world, a better workplace and a better community.

Essentials of Inclusive Leadership

Inclusion isn’t a strategy; it’s a way of being. From taking responsibility for making sure every member of the team is given the best opportunity to thrive to taking practical steps to make change happen in the organisation, true leaders embrace inclusion as a way of being.

She shows that EDI isn’t just about meeting regulations and being compliant with company policy, it is about leading with the heart, the head and the hands (in that order).

Finding your Edge

Inclusion isn’t about lowering the bar; it’s about raising the floor so that everyone can rise. Organisations who succeed in the long term don’t look at EDI as a question of “What do we have to do” but “What do we gain if we do this well?”

A truly diverse and inclusive company will attract top talent faster, retain staff longer, reach wider audiences and build better brand trust. They win more contracts, especially from governments and conscious customers.
