Biography

An internationally-recognized expert in digital accessibility and inclusive leadership with over 25 years of experience in the field, Denis Boudreau works with leaders and executives who are stuck in “inclusive-ish” territory by building real, measurable strategies for accessibility and disability inclusion, so they can lead inclusively and with confidence.

Did you know?

Many separate accessibility standards development processes exist in Canada. Ontario, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia all have laws that mandate creation of provincial accessibility standards. In addition, the Accessible Canada Act mandates accessibility standards that apply to organizations under federal jurisdiction. As a brand, is digital accessibility on your radar?

Are you ready to lead inclusively?

Every day, millions of employees feel unseen, unheard, and unsupported because leadership fails to recognize and address their diverse needs.

Over 20% of the workforce identifies as either disabled or neurodivergent, yet many organizations lack the tools to foster truly inclusive workplaces. The result? Missed opportunities, disengaged teams, and barriers that limit both individual and business growth.

At Inklusiv Communication, we help leaders move beyond “inclusive-ish” to champion diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in everything they do. By embedding inclusive leadership into your organization, you can unlock the full potential of your workforce, increase engagement, and drive long-term success.

If you’re ready to build a truly inclusive workplace where everyone thrives and can contribute to the full extent of their potential, let’s talk.

“Unequivocal access to information is perhaps one of the key challenges that we will face as a society in the future and we as speaking professionals have an important role to play.”

~ Denis Boudreau, InklusivComm
