When the pandemic hit in March 2020, the world went digital. After years of everyone saying they couldn’t offer services online, businesses quickly pivoted to do what previously said couldn’t be done: offer their services online. The world going digital was a great equalizer in access and still, there are ableist gaps. If there was any time to be more accessible, it is now. Let’s face it, life is harder than usual, we don’t need a single barrier in the way of the desired outcome and success for an employee, a client, or a fellow human. The truth bombs can’t stop, won’t stop as Christine and Clary (@sparkclarity) explore what invisible illnesses and disabilities really look like. Plus, if you’re an employer or business owner, learn how providing accommodations can be totally free and increase productivity 100%.

Clary Chambers, who goes by she/her pronouns, works to make the invisible visible. As the founder and CEO of Spark Clarity, Clary works with businesses as a consultant to make their physical, digital and cultural spaces more inclusive for everyone.

What to Listen For: 

  • They told us it couldn’t be online. But when everyone was inconvenienced, the world went digital. Was it the great equalizer for accessibility? (7:31) 
  • We are the most creative people in the world. Are you missing out on all this creative potential? (11:31)
  • Do we need a fire extinguisher? Don’t be the person who has to wait for an infectious global pandemic to make changes. (13:22) 
  • When we know better, we do better. 3 tips to create a safe, accessible space that is optimized for your individual needs. (14:50)
  • You can’t tell. What exactly is an invisible illness or invisible disability? (18:14)

It’s often easier to clap for others than to clap for ourselves. That’s why it’s essential that we sit in building our own self-esteem as business owners. You need to be able to champion yourself and show up with confidence day in, day out to stay in it for the long haul. We’re talking about how you can strengthen those self-esteem muscles. Christine and Alana (@alanaruoso) also discuss mindset hacks to keep that nasty imposter syndrome at bay and ways to double down on trusting your own gut. Plus, you’ll get 3 ways to ensure you’re actually building your own dreams and not someone else’s.

Radiating humour and honesty, Alana shows clients how to ditch struggle, own their value and move their career from vanilla success to spectacular triumph.
