Overview
More team members than ever are identifying as neurodivergent, whether through
formal diagnoses like ADHD, autism, and dyslexia, or simply recognising that they think
and work differently to the norm.
Understanding and embracing these differences isn’t just about compliance or
kindness, it’s a strategic leadership skill. Inclusive leaders unlock not only individual
potential, but also team performance, creativity, and wellbeing.
In today’s fast-paced, often overwhelming working world, neurodivergent colleagues
can face hidden barriers to thriving at work. But when managers build their confidence,
knowledge, and empathy, the results can be transformational, for individuals, teams,
and organisations.
This practical and thought-provoking workshop will give you insight into the strengths,
challenges, and support needs of neurodiverse team members. You’ll leave with a
deeper understanding of inclusion, practical strategies you can apply immediately, and
the confidence to lead with impact.
