In this episode of the Inclusive Pathways Podcast, host Jessica Winchester chats with Michael Grimmett, disability advocate and creator of Comments Disabled, for a meaningful conversation about leadership, lived experience, and the future of disability inclusion.

Michael shares his journey as a disabled professional and advocate, reflecting on what he’s learned from working alongside and being led by other disabled leaders. Together, Jessica and Michael explore how authentic representation in leadership is essential.

They dive into:

• Why disability representation in leadership changes how organizations think and act
• How lived experience creates better decision-making and innovation
• The importance of accessibility as a leadership mindset
• What inclusive leadership really looks like in practice
• How small, consistent changes can shift culture from awareness to accountability

Michael reminds us that when disabled people lead, inclusion stops being a checkbox and becomes a catalyst for change.
