A 1-hour talk designed for neurodivergent talent and their allies in the workplace
Structure:
- Introduction to Neurodivergence (with an optional deep dive into ADHD and/or Autism)
- How to find and develop your career while neurodivergent
- How to make hiring processes more accessible as an organisation or manager
- Common workplace challenges for neurodivergent people and practical tips
- Tips how to support neurodivergent people in the workplace for organisations
- How to thrive, be yourself and find community
- Avoiding Burnout: exploring added burnout risks for neurodivergent people and sharing tips and resources for support
I draw on research, literature, my ADHD Coaching Training, as well as lived experience as a neurodivergent woman with ADHD.
The talk can be generalised to reach a wide audience, or be tailored to a specific industry. I have delivered "Games Industry" and "Tech Industry" editions in the past. Previous attendees rated it as very relatable, informative, and helpful.
The talk can be delivered online or in person and can be delivered with optional Q&A time. Audience participation can be included
