How to Empower your Leaders through Neurodiversity Coaching

About the Event

Join us for a panel discussion, as we dive into Neurodiversity Coaching and how this can empower leaders at your organisation.

Coaching neurodivergent clients who are in senior management, or leadership positions, can maximise their personal and professional potential within their role.

Research has shown that leaders report positive work-related outcomes from coaching such as improved levels of self-awareness, personal vision, as well as managing change.

We'll be joined by a range of panellists, bringing you insight and professional expertise from leaders and coaches, sharing their expertise and lived experience of neurodiversity.

The panel will discuss:

Why you should invest in neurodiversity coaching within your organisation
How neurodiversity coaching can empower leaders

How we know that neurodiversity coaching works
The different types of neurodiversity coaching services available for aspiring and experienced leaders

There will be some time available for audience Q&A.
