Professional Development Seminars

 Presentation and training sessions for employees and managers to develop a greater understanding of neurodiversity in the workplace. Sessions can be held in person or online. Seminars and workshops may be used as part of an organisation or industry bodies continuing professional development (CPD) program.

Together we can work on:

• Building team culture
• Working in and leading diverse teams
• Challenging the status quo
• Developing a culture of safety and inclusion 

Having someone in your corner can make all the difference in life and in your career. Great coaches help their clients identify, set and meet life goals and get the most out of themselves. 

For individuals the benefits to having a coach can be career advancement, improved remuneration and increased enjoyment and satisfaction from going to work every day. For employers coaching can assist with staff retention, increased productivity and more motivated and happy staff. Finding new employees can be a costly and disruptive exercise, having a coach work with your staff members also shows a commitment to their development and long term future at your organisation.

We can work together to see how your workplace can become more inclusive of neurodiverse employees and customers. There are many small, free and low cost options for businesses to implement that can have significant benefits for ND employees and customers. We can talk about interview processes, induction, office environment and many other areas of your business that can be more neurodivergent inclusive. 

I can help with:

• Hiring practices
• Inclusion planning
• Office layout
• Review of policies and procedures

An independently chaired meeting can help ensure the success of important and occasionally tricky meetings and workshops. I can help guide your meeting using your agenda and make sure everyone feels they have had an opportunity to be heard. This is particularly useful for new and diverse groups getting together and working out how to work together, or for one off sessions.    

Let me help you with:

• Meeting planning
• Working out and sticking to an agenda
• Independent and objective oversight
• Ensuring maximum participant engagement 

I am passionate about spreading the good word and dispelling myths about neurodiversity. With greater awareness so many people's work and personal lives can be improved and barriers to participation can be torn down. I want to help change the social environment we live in so that neurodivergent individuals, young and old, have the confidence and joy of being accepted and welcomed as their true authentic selves.   Talks can be tailored to your audience and include:

• Lived experience as a Neurodivergent person
• Industry best practice
• Information and latest research and perspectives on neurodiversity
