🌟 Next week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week 🌟 Neurodiversity in it's simplest form is nothing more than recognising that everyone has a brain that works in a slightly different way, accepting the challenges and opportunities that we each have in the way our brains function and supporting each other to maximise what we can achieve as a team. The reality of neurodiversity is that every interaction at work takes place between people with different brains yet only a few organisations are thinking about neurodiversity or neuroinclusion in the workplace.   We need to do more to consider different thinking styles (types of information processing, learning, and communication styles) at work to be able to unleash individual and collective potential.  Once we accept that we are all different, each with our own strengths and challenges, then perspectives will change. But how do we create a workplace where everyone in the team can be productive? And how do we hire so that we attract every bit of potential talent that can add value?  If you are neurodivergent ally then I would recommend checking out neurodiversityweek.com who are running 24 free online seminars next week, including (but not limited to!) the following: - An Introduction to Neurodiversity Monday 9:30 to 10:30 - The Benefits of Neurodiversity in the Workplace Tuesday 12:00 to 1:30 - Empowering Yourself as a Neurodivergent Woman in the Workplace Thursday 2:30 to 4:00 Share with your colleagues and friends. #neurodiversity #hiring #adhdawareness #neurodiversityatwork #neurodiversitycelebrationweek
