SKATE your way accessible programs

Have you found that digital accessibility is really confusing? You don’t want to make a mistake and risk offending your customers or attracting a lawsuit. You don’t know where to start moving forward, what hazards to watch for and how to express the urgency in uplifting your technology to meet your ambition.  I have worked with large and small organisations in Australia and New Zealand, and what I have found is there are three key barriers standing in the way of your organisation reaching both your D&I targets and becoming digitally accessible. 
  1. You don’t know the gear you need to get started
  2. You are scared of taking a misstep and failing
  3. You don’t have enough knowledge of how real customers with real disabilities use your assets to pivot and keep moving forward
I have found that everything you need to know about accessibility your can learn through Roller-skating. Both have their own linguistics, both appear challenging and daunting, but with the right coach both are achievable in 6 easy steps. I learnt to skate as a 40 year old with the grace of a hippopotamus. It took me 5 simple lessons with a great coach. As your coach, I can teach your team how to SKATE too, in 5 simple lessons. Once I get you moving and meeting those goals, it’s time to level up and start showing off your skills. My programs are tailored to your needs. They provide the steps and coaching to get there in a way that is controlled and works at your pace. Before you know it your whole organisation with be SKATE Champions.
