To be a truly #NeuroInclusive business you need training for Managers that goes beyond simple #AwarenessTraining. Being aware of the basics of someone’s neurotype is a great starting point, but it doesn’t show you how to apply that knowledge to YOUR specific workplace and colleagues in the real world. This is why we created our eLearning for Managers! ⭐ Get a 10% discount in October by using code: MANAGERSOCT24 when purchasing eLearning online ⭐ https://lnkd.in/egHZB_fe In our many years working with businesses to support their #neurodivergent team members we have seen the same patterns of miscommunication and misunderstanding crop up over and over again. #PerformanceManagement can be a very contentious issue in the ND community because so many of us have experienced being misunderstood and even penalised for things that were beyond our control. But performance management done right is a benefit to both the employer AND the employee. Who doesn’t want to feel pride and satisfaction from doing a great job? As a manager to a neurodiverse team you may encounter things like RSD (Rejection sensitivity dysphoria), or communication styles that don’t sync naturally with your own. It can feel daunting not knowing how to approach these differences with care and respect, but also in a way that leads to positive change instead of conflict. With our years of experience we can give you the skills you need to work collaboratively and problem solve, avoiding a whole lot of unnecessary stress. #Elearning #Neurodiversity #ManagementTraining #ManagementSkills #DEI #HumanResourcesManagement #Upskilling #LeadershipSkills #SeniorLeader #SLT #CPD #OccupationalHealth #OccPsych

A brilliant piece from Atif Choudhury! #Inclusion #DEIA #ADHDawarenessMonth #BHM24
HR pros, what’s your plan for Black History Month? Are you sure it will impact real change? Our CEO, Atif Choudhury , shared powerful insights with HR magazine about creating an anticipatory welcome for Black and Brown neurodiverse talent in the workplace. Inclusion shouldn't just be a response to problems. Atif draws from his own experiences as a Brown disabled man navigating systemic barriers and highlights how we can reshape our approach to truly embrace diversity. Key takeaways: Anticipate: Build inclusive systems from recruitment onwards. Demonstrate: Leadership must champion diversity, setting the tone for the entire organization. Recalibrate: Actively seek and celebrate feedback to ensure everyone feels valued.

Today marks #WorldMentalHealthDay, and it is something that we take very seriously at Genius Finder. Prioritising your mental health at work isn't the easiest thing to do, but even small things can make a big difference. Ask yourself: Is there anything I could be doing differently to make my life that tiny bit easier today❓ Do I need to take some time to do something that brings me joy❓ Many people who are neurodivergent experience struggles with their mental health. The Genius Finder is a tool that is trying to help bridge gaps and make work-life more manageable for individuals who are awaiting diagnosis, reasonable adjustments, or simply more answers. With over 300 easily implemented strategies available, the Genius Finder can be that extra bit of support that you or your team need.

Nice one Fiona, this is amazing work.
Here I am outside HMP Lewes. I have had the pleasure of delivering one of #GeniusWithin group work programmes to people in prison. For the next 6 weeks I will be delivering Memory Genius, with the aim of improving the Working Memory of #neurodivergent men. My main learning from today is that when working in a prison environment it can take longer for a group to learn new strategies. Prison's are changing environments, they can be over stimulating with noise, lights and smells and this impacts on how we learn. I recapped on previous work and before long I had eight men, understanding their visual memory and learning some new strategies. Thanks to all the men and staff at HMP Lewes for facilitating this group.

A positive attitude will not fix a #MentalHealth problem. Being told to cheer up, think positive, or "just" go for a walk does not help when a person is dealing with #Grief #Depression #PTSD #Anxiety #PanicAttacks #ChronicStress For #WorldMentaHealthDay here is a list of resources for anyone in need of support 👇 https://bit.ly/3A1bvCg #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthStigma #Neurodiversity #ItsGoodToTalk

Well said Nicola!
Passionate Deputy Head of Social Justice, Trainee Forensic Psychologist & Neurodiversity Specialist with experience in rehabilitation and delivering impactful programs. Dedicated to empowering neurodiverse individuals.
On this World Mental Health Day, let’s take a moment to prioritise our mental well-being and reach out to others who may need support. Every conversation can make a difference, and every small step toward self-care is a victory. “Mental health… is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.” — Noam Shpancer Together, we can break the stigma and build a kinder, more compassionate world. Genius Within CIC Genius Finder

⭐ We have an October only discount code for our Managers eLearning!⭐ #Neurodiversity awareness is great, but it doesn't help you work out how to have those difficult conversations when someone is struggling, or tell you the best way to support someone who discloses their diagnosis to you. In our work we so regularly see the need for this kind of management specific training, so we created a set of modules to help. Make #NeuroInclusion part of your Management Training. Use code: MANAGERSOCT24 for a 10% discount when purchasing eLearning online this month ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/egHZB_fe #ManagementSkills #ManagementTraining #LeadershipSkills #DiversityAndInclusion #HumanResources #OccupationalHealth #PerformanceManagement #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #MaximizeStrengths
