This short film follows one person who uses a cane as they walk into a room to give a talk, and shows what changes when people listen. It takes under a minute to watch.
Transcript
I was invited to give a talk, a normal day, a normal room. I walk in with my cane. The room goes quiet, people look. Then they look at whoever is with me. They talk to them, not to me.
I can feel decisions being made before I have said a word.
Then I start to speak about my work. The same work as anyone. The room changes, not because I changed, because they listened.
A room belongs to everyone in it. Making it work for each of us is part of the job. A workplace assessment looks at the person, the job, and the workplace.
A workplace assessment helps teams move from assumptions to asking, and sets out what each person needs to do their job well.
