With firsthand insight and professional expertise, she guides audiences through practical steps for building disability-inclusive workplaces. From reshaping language and assumptions to empowering disabled talent as innovators and leaders, Becky delivers a message that’s both heartfelt and actionable, proving that inclusion isn’t just right, it’s smart for business.

Disability Is Not the Problem… Fear Is: Embracing Inclusion for a Stronger Future

In this empowering keynote, internationally recognized speaker and inclusion advocate Becky challenges audiences to rethink their assumptions about disability. Drawing from her personal journey as a little person and her global work in diversity and inclusion, Becky delivers a powerful message: disability is not the problem, fear, stigma, and inaction are. Through compelling stories, practical insights, and research-backed data, Becky demonstrates how embracing people with disabilities leads to stronger teams, better business outcomes, and a more inclusive world.

Building a More Inclusive Work Environment: Overcoming Bias and Embracing Belonging

Becky shares her personal journey navigating the challenging job market of the film industry, applying for over 1,000 positions, attending 100 interviews over four months, and ultimately working in three temporary roles. This real-life experience sheds light on the persistent barriers individuals with disabilities face in employment.

In this candid and insightful keynote, Becky dives into the importance of self-awareness, acceptance, and rigorous examination of unconscious bias in hiring and workplace culture.

Building a More Inclusive School Environment: Fostering Belonging and Engagement for Students with Disabilities

Creating a school environment where students with disabilities feel welcomed, valued, and fully engaged is essential, not only for the students themselves but for the entire educational community. Neuroscience reveals that social exclusion causes a “social pain” in the brain similar to physical pain, impacting student well-being and productivity. When schools actively foster inclusion, they reduce this pain and create a supportive atmosphere where students thrive.

In this inspiring keynote, Becky shares her personal and professional journey as a person with a physical disability and highlights the importance of cultivating belonging from the moment students enter the campus and throughout their educational experience. Becky offers practical recommendations to educators, administrators, and staff for building a culture that promotes strong connections, boosts engagement, and encourages innovation.
