Just a quick one chaps it’s international men’s day today and if no one eles tells you I just want to say you are appreciated and loved ❤️ The Silent Struggles of Neurodivergent Men When was the last time you really saw the men around you? Not just their faces—but the weight they carry, hidden behind smiles, silence, or exhaustion? For neurodivergent men, that weight can be even heavier. The stats don’t lie—neurodivergent men face mental health battles every single day. Yet, many feel too ashamed or misunderstood to speak up. They mask their struggles, bury their pain, and try to fit into a world that often doesn’t fit them. It’s time we changed that. Here are some of the signs 😔 🔹Struggling in silence. Neurodivergent men are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and loneliness—but far less likely to seek help. Many suffer quietly, feeling as though they must handle everything on their own. 🔹Missed diagnoses. Conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia are often overlooked in childhood, leaving many men to grow up feeling misunderstood and broken. These late diagnoses can rob them of the chance to embrace who they truly are. 🔹Hiding their true selves. To “fit in,” neurodivergent men mask their struggles, pretending to be someone they’re not. This takes a heavy toll, often leading to burnout, frustration, and a loss of identity. 🔹Help feels far away. Men in general are less likely to seek mental health support. For neurodivergent men, stigma, fear, and a lack of understanding make it feel impossible. I also believe that the workplace isn’t working for them as over 80% of neurodivergent adults are unemployed or underemployed. For many, workplaces fail to provide the support or flexibility they need to succeed, leaving them feeling undervalued and stuck. Here’s the truth: these men need us. Today is International Men’s Day. 🙌 Take five minutes to reach out to a neurodivergent man in your life. Ask how he’s really doing. Listen without judgment. Let him know that he is seen, valued, and celebrated—just as he is. Small actions create big changes. ❤️ Together, we can build a world where neurodivergent men no longer feel the need to hide—where they can thrive, not just survive. 💙 #InternationalMensDay #MentalHealth

Ever wondered what happens when you absolutely refuse to let go of a dream? A few years back, I started my dyslexia journey by reaching out to 76 different organisations. During my research, I discovered the International Dyslexia Association Conference - the biggest, most prestigious stage in the dyslexia world. However I was too late for the 2018 event, but right then, I made myself a promise: I would speak at the 2019 conference. 👊 Despite becoming an IDA global partner and putting in countless hours of work, I couldn't secure an official speaking slot. But here's the thing about real determination - it doesn't take 'no' for an answer. So what did I do? I jumped on a plane to America 🇺🇸 anyway! With nothing but belief in my mission, I went into EVERY single conference room, spoke to EVERY organizer I could find. I shared my passion, my vision, and why I needed to be heard. Then, like the universe was testing my dedication, an opportunity appeared - a speaker couldn't make it that day. Because I was there, because I'd shown up and made my presence known, they gave me their slot. From sending that first email to standing on that stage - it just proves that when you truly believe in what you want to achieve, you create your own opportunities. Sometimes the path to your dreams isn't a straight line. Sometimes you've got to fly across the world, knock on every door, and be ready when that one chance appears. Dream big. Show up. And never, ever give up! 🙌 #DyslexiaAwareness #NeverGiveUp #MakeItHappen #Persistence #DreamBig"

Outstanding evening attending the British Dyslexia Association Awards alongside my beautiful wife Kelly Clark ❤️ It was an honour to be asked to be a judge and see and hear all the winners share their own experiences of living with dyslexia. Everyone who was nominated should feel very proud for sharing their stories snd inspiring others 🙌 Wonderful to meet up with many friends and the dyslexic community all striving to make a difference ❤️ On another note it was very special to spend time with my entrepreneurial inspiration Theo Paphitis talking all things business and Dyslexia. And finally thank you Penny Lancaster for the inspirational speech and both yourself and Mark Aldridge for the wonderful conversations on our table. To the British Dyslexia Association Team congratulations and well done on an incredible event. #BDAawards24 #empowerment #confidence

Stop Asking for Speaking Opportunities—Start Showing Your Value🎤 You need to stop saying you're available for speaking gigs. Why? Because when you demonstrate your value, people will *ask* you to speak. The key is positioning yourself as the go-to expert—once you do that, opportunities will naturally find you. Imagine having the personal brand power to open any door in your industry. 🚀 When you show up with your expertise and insight, people will naturally want to hear more from you. Over my 18 years of working with top brands like Netflix The Walt Disney Company Nike and Apple I’ve seen the same pattern: those who confidently showcase their value never have to ask for the spotlight.
