No Two Brains Are Alike

Every interaction at work - whether a meeting, interview, or just a conversation with a colleague or your boss - involves people with different brains. Yet most of the time, most people aren't thinking about neurodiversity - or neuroinclusion. This risks sub-optimal collaboration, and even the effective exclusion of different types of thinkers, whose perspectives are vital for true "diversity of thought".

In this session, you will learn: - what neurodiversity is, and why it matters - why we are only starting to talk about it now - what you can do NOW to bring greater neuroinclusion to your own work and that of your organization and team

When we create more neuroinclusive teams, we enable everybody to be themselves and to thrive, and we enhance the likelihood of innovative outcomes. Organizations like Salesforce, IBM, Microsoft, Google and others are all taking active steps to embrace neurodiversity at work. In this session, you'll learn how you can do the same regardless of your sector, seniority or role.
