Episode 28: Interview with Roland Chesters, who is a recognised disability and inclusion expert; coach, consultant, workshop leader and motivational speaker.

Listen to Roland who shares his very personal and very inspiring story, who used a rock bottom moment to propel him forward to now be a help to people with personal disability or disability in the workplace.

In his own words:

In 2006 I collapsed. Shortly afterwards I was told that I had only two weeks to live.

Over ten years later I am still here, not only surviving but thriving!

I’m Roland Chesters, founder of Luminate, and I live with HIV and dyspraxia, a neurological disability as a result of progressive multifocal leukoencephalytis, which was my AIDS-defining illness. There was a time when I saw no future for myself, I was at rock bottom and I thought I was going to die. But through sheer grit, determination and a fierce desire to live I went against the odds to go on to live a happy and fulfilling life.
