Neurodiversity in a Singularly Focused World
2024-10-01 16:30 - 18:30
As a neurodivergent person myself, someone diagnosed with ADHD at five, it became critical for me, for my survival to continually translate myself for the world around me. I had to hold onto who I am/was while learning how the other 80% of the people of the world thought and how it differed drastically from my own patterns of thinking. I wanted to and needed to be able to show up as myself in my personal life, work life, networking, building a business and a speaking/consulting practice. I realized along the way how many companies would benefit from learning how we neurodivergent people see the world and how it would transform culture and profitability when done intentionally and with support for all involved. Diversity empowers curiosity, which drives innovation and ignites profitability.
