And here is a Classical Takeout from  our #bbgthinktank by Martin Stark



Dif the word disability and talk about different abilities and coolabilities 

How do we provide more support for adults with autism?

In Aboriginal language - there is no word for disability - they frame it as a capability 

To shift the mindset - we need to first 
Shift the language
Shift the mindset
Be more inclusive 

Amazed and inspired  at success of mentoring programme of ICAN

Great opportunity with ICAN and Westpac?

Aspiration to mentor 2500 mentees this year - a BHAG of note
