For Hidden Differences
Setting good examples
Sharing good practices to others is a positive way of demonstrating what you can do and what you are capable of. This is important to break any negative myths and stereotypes. Sharing you can develop for others can show what can be possible in the workplace, activities and communities. This can be possible for others not to restore t your capabilities.
Your strengths and attributes are the key ingredients to showcase what you can develop and achieve in how you can help or benefit others. Using your strengths and attributes you can showcase what you can do to help and benefit others. For example, providing ideas and solutions to specific projects which you have experienced or are passionate about.
You could develop projects which can benefit others in communities. You could participate in community projects or activities in which you are passionate and excel on.
Through your talent experiences and expertise, a lot of possibilities can be achieved. However, what you can be must help, support and embrace others and not to focus on what you can create.
Sharing good practices is more than you think and can have a major advantage to help, support and influence others with similar difficulties as you.

For Everyone
To enable a person with hidden differences to share good practice everybody needs to see a person beyond their difficulties or perceptions.
