Neuroscience and Neurodiversity – What might organisations do differently?

In a world that is increasingly recognising the significance of neurodiversity, there is a growing need for organisations to evaluate how they can effectively encourage and support diversity within their teams.

Understanding neurodiversity is crucial for better comprehending its impact and potential for people in the workplace.

Join us as we delve into the latest research in neuroscience and uncover practical ways to apply these insights, creating a more compassionate, inclusive, and productive work environment.

This workshop will

  • Consider what neurodiversity is and isn’t and why this concept is important in the workplace;
  • Explore how individual brains perceive the world and how this relates to neurodiversity;
  • Discuss the benefits of a neurodiverse workplace both for employees and customers;
  • Provide a framework and tips to help individuals, teams and organisations to better enable and support greater neurodiversity in the workplace.

By the end of this workshop, you will:

  • Better understand neurodiversity and the implications of this concept in the workplace;
  • Understand the networks in the brain that we use to perceive the world and how this relates to neurodiversity;
  • Learn a framework for how to support and develop a greater range of neurodiverse individuals in the workplace;
  • Have practiced tips and tools that allow you to reap the benefits of greater neurodiversity.

Whether you're an individual seeking to better understand neurodiversity, a coach looking to empower neurodiverse clients, or a leader committed to creating a more inclusive workplace, this workshop is for you.

The workshop will be interactive, and you will leave with ideas that you can use immediately.
