The session was engaging and informative, and despite getting a lot of information within an hour, it was a really good pace still allowing for observations and questions. It was a really great first step in our journey to ensure our marketing materials and communication is inclusive for all.”

The workshop gave a great overview of the importance of everyday inclusion and Jodie shared some really practical and simple tips for making digital communication so much more accessible. The session was a real eye opener of all the little things that get easily overlooked but make a huge difference to some people, for example those who use screen readers. Thank you Jodie for this great session and helping us to wrap up our National Inclusion Week events!”

Jodie’s enthusiasm for driving change and creating an inclusive workplace is commendable and I value the impact she has had on me as someone with an invisible disability. Thank you for all your efforts Jodie and good luck in your new endeavours!”

David Jones, Member of Disability Equity Partnership and Chair of the Well-being Workgroup, Aberdeen City Council.
“Jodie has many strengths, and the two that stand out most to me are her knowledge of disability inclusion and accessibility, and her authenticity.
Cherrelle Williams, Global Accessibility Lead at Shell.
Jodie has been involved within the disability space for a long time and has accrued a wealth of knowledge. This knowledge means she is able to spot gaps in accessibility and inclusion, and proactively find ways to fill them, be that through coaching and teaching, and advocacy, or though developing brilliant experiential workshops.
Jodie takes an authentic approach to her work, and this means she is not afraid to challenge the status quo. This means she is willing to have difficult conversations to drive change in an often underrepresented space. As a result, she has impact and influence across different levels of an organisation.
I have lead enABLE UK at Shell using skills I have learnt from her, and she is an asset to the progression of disability inclusion and accessibility, and to anyone that works with her.”
“It has been my great pleasure to work with Jodie Greer in the Shell enABLE Employee Resource Group (ERG). Jodie was the enABLE Country Chair for the UK. However, she was in fact the heart and soul of enABLE. Her passion, energy, and creativity made her the global leader for enABLE in Shell. She came up with many creative and innovative ways to raise awareness of enABLE and advance accessibility and inclusion for Persons with Disabilities in Shell. I was particularly impressed with the Disability Workshop that she developed herself and frequently facilitated. The workshop was brilliantly designed to give work groups in Shell the opportunity to experience some common disabilities and the barriers that commonly exist to accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. Her passion and energy when she facilitated was obvious and made the workshop truly impactful for all that attended and drove clear change in perceptions, attitudes and stigma. Jodie Greer is an exceptional and experienced advocate for accessibility and inclusion for persons with disabilities!”
