Session Details
Neurodiversity is not a niche issue—it’s a reality of today’s workforce. Between 17–26% of people identify as neurodivergent, a term that encompasses a range of experiences and diagnoses including Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, PTSD, and acquired brain injuries. Yet many workplaces are still designed around narrow definitions of productivity, communication, and professionalism—leaving talented individuals unsupported or misunderstood. This session helps organizations recognize and value the diversity of human brains, and take practical steps toward more equitable, accessible, and inclusive environments.
Grounded in a trauma-informed approach, this session explores how past experiences, systemic barriers, and sensory or cognitive differences can shape how people navigate the workplace. Rather than asking neurodivergent employees to adapt to rigid norms, discover what organizations can do to create spaces of psychological safety, flexibility, and belonging. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of neurodiversity and concrete tools to support all team members to do their best work—without compromising their wellbeing.

We had the pleasure of working with The Expert Talk for several leadership workshops and follow up booster sessions on the topic of Trauma-informed Leadership. Feedback was positive about the content, information, and real-life experience of the facilitators and coaches. In addition to being supportive, easy to talk to, and always open to feedback and suggestions, we felt safe in their hands at every interaction. If an opportunity arose, we wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in the future.
