Neurodiversity coaching and workshops - learn how to nurture and implement a supportive, neurodivergent-inclusive workplace culture.
What is neurodiversity coaching?
We can help you gain a greater understanding of the importance of recognising neurodiversity in the workplace, and through our coaching and workshops we can teach you how to create and implement a supportive, productive neurodivergent-inclusive workplace culture.
In harnessing, supporting and nurturing neurodivergent employees you’ll ensure they are able to perform at their best at all times, ultimately creating better business outcomes for your organisation. Our neurodiversity awareness training is aimed at both employers and employees – real inclusivity will only result from all stakeholders actively engaging.
What is neurodivergent?
Neurodiversity is an umbrella term which captures a number of specific learning difficulties and developmental or acquired difficulties which have an impact on day to day life and performance at work.
Neurodiversity is the idea that everyone’s brain is unique and the way that people think varies naturally. Neurodivergent people often notice things that neurotypical people don’t. Employers who promote diversity in the workplace are more likely to access untapped talent pools. Neurodivergent employees will approach problems with a solution-based mindset, they can often see a clearer path from A to B.
These conditions can be found across the spectrum of intellectual ability and include: Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, DCD/dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. Neurodiversity coaching is a type of equality and diversity training that is designed to help understand and appreciate the differences in cognitive processing and neurodevelopmental conditions.
We’re here to help you every step of the way; we also offer assessment of the following conditions: ADHD, dyslexia, DCD/dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia.
Why should my organisation be neurodivergent-aware?
Neurodivergent people have unique skills and abilities that can be extremely valuable in the workplace. However, they often struggle because many workplaces are not designed for them to perform at their best. This is often due to a lack of awareness of neurodiversity, and the ways in which neurodivergent people work differently.
Our training will help address this by raising awareness of neurodiversity and the often simple accommodations that can be made to help your employees thrive. We’ll help you to recognise and appreciate the different ways that neurodivergent people work, as well as provide the tools to understand how to make reasonable adjustments. By creating a safe, supportive workplace, you can increase your employees’ confidence and help them be more productive, both in teams and as individuals.
How we work
We will work closely with you to create a series of bespoke neurodiversity coaching workshops and wellbeing programmes that work for your business. We’ll help you implement tangible, lasting culture change that drives a positive growth mindset that delivers measurable outcomes for the business across everything from employee engagement to innovation.
We’ll assess and measure your organisation’s culture in terms of outcomes for the individual, team and wider organisational level, and identify where there are structures in place that (unintentionally) reward and reinforce negative thinking over positive outcomes. In assessing where your business needs help we can really focus on creating the right neurodiversity coaching programme; one that empowers your employees, and gets buy-in across all levels of the business.
