Positively Purple
Kate Nash
(Author)Description
Most employers will have a workforce where at least 10% of their people will have a visible or invisible disability. And 86% of all disabled people acquire their disability during the course of their working lives. How can businesses create strategies and a company culture that includes all staff?
Ensure that your company or organization doesn't become guilty of the soft bigotry of low expectations when it comes to disabled employees and customers. Learn from your disabled staff and consumers and be equipped to be a better and more dynamic organization.
Kate Nash, founder of #PurpleLightUp - a global movement which celebrates the economic contribution of employees with disability - will help you understand how any organization can ensure disabled staff and consumers are included and valued. Telling a fascinating story of how to make change happen and recognizing that any kind of transformation requires knowledge, determination and hard yards of campaigning, networking and deal making, you will learn how to build disability confidence throughout your organization.
Positively Purple allows disabled workers to claim their rightful place centre stage as just another valuable member of the team.

Kate's personal story shows us how to supercharge the disability inclusion revolution and create a better, more accessible, working world."-- "Andy Garrett, GSK Workplace Adjustments Service Programme Director, Global co-lead GSK Disability Confidence Network"
"It's hard for me to talk about Kate and her work without sounding like I am always using hyperbole. I find Kate Nash's presence throughout Positively Purple inspiring. Her words embolden the reader to participate as proactive protagonists in the fight for equity. The path she outlines uses lessons from other equality and identity dimensions but adds a particular magic, unique to Kate herself. This book is essential reading for anyone who would call themselves an ally of equity at work. My team and I are all avid fans of Kate and grateful for all her lessons and practical actions."-- "John Amaechi OBE, APS"
"There is nothing inevitable about progress - it takes relentless campaigning and great campaigners. Kate Nash is one of those people. Her insights into how to create a space without fear of getting it wrong and the importance of positive campaigning should be read by every social change campaigner."-- "Tiernan Brady, Global Director of Inclusion, Clifford Chance LLP"
