"In an ideal world nobody should be afraid to disclose any disability." In this month’s episode, Ashly Williamson MSc MCIPD and Jaz W. join Kally Kaleda to discuss living and working with non-visible disabilities. In an eye-opening discussion, Ashly and Jaz delve into their strikingly similar stories, sharing their experience of life following a brain tumour diagnosis. Non-visible disabilities make it hard for people to disclose their unique stories with new people, let alone the workplace. This episode delves deeper into the need for companies to better understand and adapt. Continuing the discussion of needed change, Ashly and Jaz are raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity, a cause close to their hearts.
