Kate Nash's personal story told with brutal honesty, is a compelling read and full of practical lessons." * Duncan Tait, Chief Executive, Inchcape plc *
"Global multinationals like GSK, increasingly choose to learn directly from their employees with disabilities. Building disability confidence from the inside out by investing in a disability employee resource group will make the journey so much easier. Kate's personal story shows us how to supercharge the disability inclusion revolution and create a better, more accessible, working world." * Andy Garrett, GSK Workplace Adjustments Service Programme Director, Global co-lead GSK Disability Confidence Network *
"It's hard for me to talk about Kate and her work without sounding like I am always using hyperbole. I find Kate Nash's presence throughout Positively Purple inspiring. Her words embolden the reader to participate as proactive protagonists in the fight for equity. The path she outlines uses lessons from other equality and identity dimensions but adds a particular magic, unique to Kate herself. This book is essential reading for anyone who would call themselves an ally of equity at work. My team and I are all avid fans of Kate and grateful for all her lessons and practical actions." * John Amaechi OBE, APS *
