FREE 3 hour RAW (Resilience, Adaptability & Wellbeing) workshop

Thursday 5th October 1.30pm - 4.30pm

About this event

So you want to learn about and be enabled to embrace neurodiversity at work?

This session will be led by a neuro diverse person with a successful 35 year career working in many different business sectors, the public and third sectors, in the UK and Internationally, and is an opportunity for you to:

• Shed light on myths, misconceptions and concerns - and start to explore the gifts that neurodivergent people can bring if enabled to do so

• Get clarity on what neuro diversity is - and  isn’t 

• Start using straightforward and practical tools to help you make sense of it, and navigate the often different, complex and conflicting perspectives and available information - and media noise

• Through this and many real and personal examples, and discussion with fellow participants, explore the “so what?“: What does neurodiversity at work mean in practice, to me and my organisation? What are some simple, realistic and practical steps we can take towards becoming more neurodiverse-inclusive?

• Throughout, ask someone with lived experience any questions that you may have

Who is this for?

This in-person workshop is ideal for HR and People Services leaders and managers, business owners and those who hold responsibility for staff wellbeing within an organisation.
