In the media 

Zoe Simmons shared her story as part of the She’s the Boss and Stories that Stir® International Women’s Day event. She was real, raw and had me on the edge of my seat listening to her every word. I learnt a lot from listening to her story and left feeling more empathy for what people with disabilities go through. I also learnt some simple ways I can make sure my events are inclusive and inviting for those who live with a disability. I was very inspired by her courage and determination and am grateful I was given the opportunity to see the world from her perspective.

Zoe Simmons has been an invaluable collaborator on multiple CoAct projects, most recently presenting at our 2024 ConnectUp Conference. Her session on cultivating customer-centric, inclusive language was both passionate and thought-provoking, resonating deeply with our members. Zoe’s genuine approach, combined with her expertise in disability advocacy, made her presentation not only informative but also inspiring. Her ability to connect with the audience and elevate awareness of best practices for DES  is truly commendable. We are grateful for her ongoing contributions to our work.
