Creating Inclusive Workplaces for All | Catarina Rivera | TEDxRolandPark

Thank you for giving so much to the world!!!! You are pretty amazing and I feel so grateful to know you.

Closed captions, agendas before meetings, notes after meetings - such simple ways to improve the experience of disabled employees and (currently) abled employees! @Catarina, thank you for taking us through your experience (as a blind and hard-of-hearing person) going to an interview. I didn't realize the extra steps, concerns, and considerations that can be a regular part of a disabled person's day, on top of just living and working.

As a person who is blind and hearing impaired, and wears hearing aids as well. I love this short TEDTalk! She is hitting all the great points! Thank you for this talk!

Hi Catarina, Thank you so much for your great insights! Yes - DISABILITY INCLUSION! Workplaces should be accessible for all - follow "best practices, " and be open to even better!

[macaroo]

In my belief, I fell that we were created to be "incomplete but in a likeness" so that we would find connecting easier, and become as a whole body. Keep up the great work by manifesting awareness to the needs of disabled individuals.

Excellent job! Thank you, Catarina, for your powerful words.

[rosiehartmann]

A great talk, Catarina! So true that people who are different in some way are actually an asset to society as a whole and not a problem. This growing divisiveness in our world on many fronts is disconcerting and a destructive trend. The fabric of our society should contain all the colours and textures and be a richer fabric overall

Great job Catarina! This is a very important topic. You offered great tips for easy and attainable best practices! Keep up the awesome work you are doing my friend!

[LisaSanCrom]

Brilliant, I love how you tell your story. You are an excellent educator and I am braver for your voice. 💖

[worldunityinc]

Excellent presentation! Keep sharing your talk to open minds and hearts to create an inclusive workplace!

[susanshofer]

Thank you for opening our consciousness for what many of us take for granted. Your talk demonstrates that disability does not equal unable. You gave a TEDx talk despite having limited hearing and sight!!! Thank you for showing us what disabled "really" looks like.

[montreecehardy]

This is very well done! I love the painting the picture of the interview process. Excellent points! I pray that our work makes a difference for young people living with disabilities to have less stress in the interviewing process and workplace.

👉 What a beautifully engaging talk Catarina – inspiring! You captured well what the spirit and praxis of next “normal” should be like – gracias 🍁 LCA

[plainspirate]

Yay so happy for you. We need to do something about Ableisum in hiring and the work place. Though I must admit the looks of shock and confusion when I walk into a interview, because they responded to the application that I didn't disclose, are pretty funny.
