“It is not enough that we react well to disclosure of Neurodiversity. A proactive focus is required to create the next generation of fearless and inclusive employers”

At the conclusion of the morning you will appreciate:

• How different people think and sense the world…differently…not wrong, just different
• Why understanding the neurological make up of your staff is a need to know not an optional nice to have
• What a better organisation you will have if you appreciate this & help colleagues to do likewise
• How much more effective & successful (profitable!) your organisation will be once you embrace this reality
• That EVERYONE is ‘different’ – there is no ‘normal’!
• How you can actually make a worthwhile, positive difference to your organisation & your world
• The growing business case including recent legal precedent

Some comments from delegates at previous sessions:
“We had an application last week from a student with Asperger’s and this morning has really helped me to see what we may need to do/consider for recruitment purposes and also should he be successful in his application”

“I’ll be honest, this wasn’t something that was on our agenda before, but it definitely is now and we will benefit as an organisation, & as human beings, because of it.”

Each Masterclass starts promptly at 8.30am, followed by a peer group taster & then lunch at 2pm………and a complimentary ‘So What?’ session 3 weeks later.

The ‘So What?’ sessions are designed to really embed what you took from the Masterclass in a facilitated, ‘sharing your learning with other delegates’ environment.
