MJs Speaker Bio

MJ Lace is a disability advocate, educator, coach and influencer. Disabled herself, she works tirelessly to foster an inclusive world where everybody (regardless of their abilities and disabilities) can live and work on equal terms and with dignity. 

She has spoken all over the world on the topic of inclusion, campaigned for improved services and even completed a hand-cycling marathon to raise funds to support the work of her InclUSion charity. 

Her company, Accessibility Partners, supports people with the help they need to access work: from applying for the grants to providing the practical on-the-ground services they need. 

Soon to be qualified as a social worker, she has presented to the British Association of Social Workers on their role in inclusion and supporting people into work and at the AccessAbilities Expo in Dubai. 

Outside work, she loves to cook, is mum to four grown-up children and has a secret ambition to be a porn star.

Logistics and Technical

MJ uses a head microphone and ‘clicker.’ She runs an Apple Mac laptop but can provide the presentation to the AV team in advance to include in the main deck. The slides, when running, should be in rehearsal view (‘speaker preview’ if on a PC). If the slides will be run from a PC rather than a Mac, she can provide a PowerPoint version to avoid any corruption of images due to format changes – please advise in advance. 
Yes. MJ will provide her own materials in Keynote (Mac) or PowerPoint. Please advise in advance of which format you require.
MJ will always try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate any need for rescheduling if your plans change. Cancellations or rescheduling more than 60 days in advance will usually incur no charge unless specific expenses have been incurred (non-refundable travel bookings for example).
In case of an emergency where MJ is unable to attend, she will always work closely with you to find a solution that suits you. Depending on the circumstances, she may connect you to another speaker who can fill in for her or offer an alternative date.
