NeuroDiversity at Work: Your Neuro-Inclusive Workplace
Creating a Culture of Inclusion and Acceptance in your Workplace
Description
NeuroTypical is not the "default state of humanity.” It is simply an average our society is designed to cater to.
NeuroDiversity: Refers to the idea that there is a natural and broad spectrum of differences within the human brain and nervous system, including variations in cognitive, sensory, and emotional experiences that can vary significantly from person to person. NeuroDiversity recognizes and celebrates these differences as natural variations of the human experience that should be supported.
NeuroDiversity is vital because it gives us a new, more balanced, human way of viewing people with brain differences more compassionately, as part of a human spectrum of brains, allowing NeuroDivergent people to feel pride in ourselves instead of being shamed for our differences.
Learners will explore how they can better communicate and collaborate with people who process information in varied ways. We will also discuss how different people process and organize information, focusing on NeuroDivergent minds and the differences in NeuroDivergent processing.
Together, we will explore organizational tips and techniques that will benefit everyone, especially the NeuroDivergent employees.
Lyric Rivera (NeuroDivergent Rebel), a late diagnosed multiple NeuroDivergent adults, best-selling author, Business Consultant, and owner of NeuroDivergent Consulting, will humanize these issues, bringing them to life by weaving in their own personal experience as a NeuroDivergent professional with a diverse business background.
