In this episode of MentorMeet Stories, Jennifer Layburn sits down with disability coach and inclusive leadership coach Michelle Scicluna to explore how we think about disability, inclusion and the world of work.

Michelle shares her experience of acquiring a disability while working at the Financial Times and how that experience changed the way she approached work, identity and performance. She explains why disability isn't always visible, why the same support won't necessarily work for everyone, and why being disabled should not mean being defined by what others assume you can or cannot do.

The conversation explores the medical, charity and social models of disability, Michelle's Disability Force framework, and the role coaching can play alongside medical and workplace support. Jennifer and Michelle also discuss reasonable adjustments, organisational culture, disability-informed coaching, lived experience and the importance of helping people understand and articulate what they need to perform at their best.

A thoughtful conversation about inclusion, agency and creating the conditions for people to thrive at work.
