Accessibility Coaching & Leadership using the power of ‘with’.
After many years of working to advance a more equitable world for access citizens, award-winning global access leader and author Minnie Baragwanath has discovered the concept of ‘with’ and believes that the answer to a more equitable world may in fact lie within this humble word.
If there’s one word that creates a whole new world of possibility and untapped potential, it’s “with”. It’s a foundational concept that supports all aspects of our business, from idea to implementation.

The current state
of access today:
Today in Aotearoa (New Zealand) 1 in 4 of us live with an access need or disability. That equals 1 million New Zealanders. Globally the numbers are similar with close to 25% of people living with an access need, that is the same number of people that makes up the population of China!
50% of people over the age of 65 will have at least one impairment due to aging. And if we all live long enough, ALL of us will have an access need or disability one day. Yet most of the world, including education, employment, the economy, technology and society as a whole has not been designed with this talented and diverse group in mind.
Together we can turn that situation around and create a truly accessible future for all. Afterall collectively this group has a spending power of $13 trillion!
‘With’ offers an alternative
and powerful approach.
A better future is possible
