Kai Wong / Influencing Without Authority: A Pep Talk for Accessibility Advocates

Change happens when people make it happen. Accessibility is no different. You do not need authority or a fancy title to bring digital accessibility into your workflow, team, or company. In this motivational pep talk, you'll learn about influencing and driving change for accessibility through personal investment, relationship-building, and strategic action, all without relying on formal authority.
