A topic I am passionate about. The creativity and contribution that neuro divergent team members bring should not be underestimated. Our traditional education path under-rewards and recruitment processes can underestimate. Having different perspectives and approaches should be celebrated and encouraged.

Informal consultations among delegates at the #INC4 likely will involve discussions outside of formal sessions. Delegates will engage in dialogue to address key issues, build consensus, and refine proposals in a less structured setting. These consultations are crucial for fostering understanding, resolving differences, and advancing negotiations towards achieving collective goals. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #PlasticsTreaty #BeatPlasticPollution

In this video, Jess explains a little about ethree. #eLearning #HrExcellence #Elevate #Propel #StrategicPlanning #ethreeConsulting #ethreeOnline #PeopleSkills #UnlockPotential #OnlineTraining

I can't understate how proud I am that the National Disability Institute invited Kiksasa to be their case study for how #SAAS apps can be developed for accessibility. It's a big deal as a founder to receive such a recognition, but it's a bigger deal when its for addressing a problem that impacts you so personally. In 2021, I was in a massive car accident, that resulted a week in the hospital and 10 broken bones, a fractured kidney, and a nasty concussion. Not fun at all. However, as my grandfather said, there is always a silver lining - sometimes you just have to squint to see it. In this case, my concussion turned out to be the silver lining. It led to becoming a patient at Northside Hospital's Concussion Institute, where I was extensively tested by a neuropsychologist. I eventually recovered, but the testing revealed something I hadn't known about myself - I'm neurodivergent. (side note: I've lost track of how many people since then said "well duh, Kelly....didn't anyone ever tell you that before?" I'm GenX - my parents weren't big on the whole testing thing.) By the time I started Kiksasa in 2023, I had a decent working knowledge of my. ADHD and a bunch of hacks in place to help me work. But the one thing I was never able really to hack was the 50 or so applications usually used to run a startup. Sensory overload is a thing for me, and jumping back and forth between a bunch of standardized, over-designed apps is super distracting. You see, most applications are not designed to be neurodivergent-friendly. They are filled with what can feel like overstimulating chaos. So when Tim and I started designing the UI for Kiksasa, the one foundational rule we had was "it can't break Kelly's brain." A year later, it's become a mantra for our dev team. The result is an application that is low-contrast, consistent, and easy to learn despite consolidating 34+ applications into a single browser window. Then gives the user the ability to customize the UI to fit how they think and process information (really - every user's app is unique). As one of our VC users said when he first saw it.. "I think I just felt my brain relax." So, if you are attending America's SBDC conference, come see us at the NDI presentation on 9/12/24 at 8:15 or in the NDI booth (# 46).
