Creating Inclusive Workplaces for All | Catarina Rivera | TEDxRolandPark

We've managed this since the dawn of humanity. There is no problem here. Nothing needs to change. Deal with life on life's terms. The end.

❤" When we are all included,
we create a better world for everyobe"

Beautifully said, it is unfortunate that some of the simplest things some of us take for granted are some of the most defining yet nerve wrecking obstacles for others. Thank you for this experience and honor of thinking through staff experiences differently.

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 content !!!!!!!!!!!! Go Catarina go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😂

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.

🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯

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

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

Lots of love from Bhutan 😘

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.

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!

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

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

I loved it! Awesome talk and lessons, Catarina 🎉Congratulations in your TEDx Talk.

This talk is incredibly short, powerful, and sweet! So many practical tips and eye-opening points on how we as a society look at disability. Catarina really blessed the TEDx stage 🤗

I appreciate learning your lived experiences. Great talk Catarina!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
