And that’s a wrap

It’s almost Christmas time, so what a perfect opportunity to talk about the importance of community and connection. In this episode I chat with Jason Knight, the branding specialist that created the brand for my businesses. However, we are not talking about branding. We are talking about a movement that Jason started in his neighbourhood to foster a spirit of connection and community. ‘The Front Yard Family’ has led to so many positive outcomes in Jason’s local community and the concept can so easily be picked up and applied to our business communities, that I thought it a great conversation to share.

If this episode has inspired you to combine the silos of your life into the one circle ‘the integrated life’ you can check out the special offer that Jason mentioned in this interview here:https://www.askjasonknight.com/onecircle

The front yard family - breaking isolation and loneliness with Jason Knight

Did you know that in Australia, over 13 million people have one or more chronic (long-term) eye conditions? And that over 575,000 are blind or vision impaired in Australia alone.

I certainly didn’t.

And I’m embarrassed to admit that until I met Kathryn Collins, a graphic designer that specialises in creating accessible documents (and the 2nd person in Australia to recently qualified as an Accessible Document Specialist with the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP), I had never really spared a thought about the importance of making marketing material more accessible., I had never really spared a thought about the importance of making marketing material more accessible.

In this episode, Kathryn talks about what document accessibility is and how we can all start to make our communications more inclusive.

If you are interested in checking out the Website Content Accessibility Guidelines – you can see them here: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/

Also, if you want to make your Word docs more accessible, if you are using a Mac, you will see a big button that says ‘Check Accessibility’ in the tool bar in when you are in the ‘Review’ tab.
