Calling All People Leaders!
Join us on April 23rd as we celebrate Neurodiversity Awareness Month with our own Neurodiversity Awareness Day.
With 17-26% of the population falling under the Umbrella of Neurodivergence, it is clear that we need to pay more attention to how companies and cultures make space for neurodivergence. Leaders are finding themselves unsure of how to navigate conversations around accommodations, and some are unsure of why we need to have them at all.
The purpose of Neurodiversity Awareness Day is to increase awareness and to offer leaders effective ways to support their workers so that everyone can perform their best.
On April 23rd, The Expert Talk will be hosting two short training sessions focused on offering strategies for leaders to help you create a workplace culture of trust, dignity, and belonging.
Pick the session that interests you most or join us for both!
