In this episode of Scott-Parker Goes Live, Susan speaks with Sinéad Burke, CEO and founder of Tilting the Lens, global accessibility consultant and a leading voice in disability-led design and systemic change.

Sinéad shares the story behind Tilting the Lens : how the company began, why it was given its name, the thinking behind building a disability-led team and the principles that guide its work.

The conversation explores what happens when disability moves beyond awareness and becomes embedded into the way organisations design products, services, workplaces and experiences.

Susan and Sinéad examine the difference between visibility and transformation, including Sinéad’s experience at the Met Gala and the wider question of what representation can achieve and where deeper systemic change is still needed.

This is a candid and challenging conversation about disability, design, leadership, entrepreneurship and the future of how we understand and frame disability. For anyone working in accessibility, organisational change, DEIB, design or leadership, this episode offers practical insight into what meaningful progress requires.

In this episode of Scott-Parker Goes Live, Susan sits down with Lesa Bradshaw - international speaker, social entrepreneur, disability inclusion specialist, and founder of Bradshaw LeRoux (South Africa) and Lesa Bradshaw International (UK).

Lesa brings a rare blend of lived experience, business acumen, and global perspective. From her experience in South Africa to her work across Europe and the UK, she has spent decades tackling the systemic barriers that keep disabled people out of meaningful work and helping organisations shift from compliance to genuine confidence.

Together, Susan and Lesa explore:

• How compliance cultures worldwide — from quotas to rigid medical definitions — distort inclusion and prevent organisations from accessing real capability.

• The consequences of treating adjustments as “special treatment” instead of a basic requirement for fairness.

• What businesses get wrong when they focus on counting disabled people rather than removing the barriers that disable them.

• How Lesa helps global organisations translate inclusive intent into practical, context-specific action across regions with very different realities.

• Why authentic leadership, honest questions, and a willingness to listen transform disability inclusion from a legal obligation into a business advantage.

Lesa also shares powerful insights from her work with companies that are beginning to make real progress — including what it looks like when leaders shift from fear and uncertainty to curiosity, humility, and meaningful change.

Grounded in humour, humanity, and sharp strategic thinking, this conversation reframes disability inclusion as an evolution in good business practice, not an act of charity and not a compliance exercise.

Whether you're a senior leader, HR professional, policymaker, or simply someone who wants to understand how to remove disabling barriers and design for human reality, this episode offers clarity, challenge, and a fresh way forward.
