Dyslexia
Here Hayley talks about her life experiences with dyslexia and the impact of prejudice on her life. Hayley goes into some of her earlier experiences and the attitudes that people had prior to her doing the dyslexia assessment. She highlights that everyone can add greatness to a team, regardless of if you're dyslexic or not, everyone has their own strengths and Hayley says we should play to those strengths instead of focusing on any perceived or true weaknesses.
