Wednesday, September 11th, 2024 from 1-2 pm EST


Session Description:

Brace yourselves, because we're about to blow…your…minds. Ready? Every person, is different. We know, it’s a lot to process. Take a moment to collect yourself with this newfound information. But we're not done, because it turns out that "the calls are coming from inside the house." That's right, inside that brain of yours is a cornucopia of unique factors that make you different from everyone else on this tiny blue rock floating through space. Now that we’re all on the same page, enlightened by this remarkable secret, what will we do? Well, if history is any indication, some people will still try to make everyone act and think the same way, in spite of their differences. If you’re wondering if that works, it doesn’t. It’s a recipe for lower employee engagement, higher turnover, and brilliant people hiding their talents. And yet, it persists. But there is an alternative path you can take. In this talk, we're going to explore something called "neurodiversity." We’ll reveal how celebrating our differences might be the best path to unlocking an organization’s potential and building a thriving work culture. Let’s reimagine work, together.
