This keynote is an immersive and thought-provoking experience designed to guide the audience through the lived realities of neurodivergence. Through story telling and reflection, participants are invited to explore what it means to create a world that celebrates, rather than suppresses, different ways of being.

The Neurodivergence Experience

A journey through different worlds and perceptions. 

Using the metaphor of language, the audience is invited into a thought experiment: How can different perceptions impact our experience and how we view the world we live in? (Recognize)

Two Different Worlds

This section uncovers narratives and myths around neurodivergence, highlighting how social norms can become invisible barriers. We explore cognitive differences, spiky profiles, and the distinction between willingness and ability. (Understand) 

Neuroinclusion as Daily Practice

A practical look at how communication and everyday team dynamics shape the experience of inclusion. Participants are introduced to the reflective tool: "Are You READY?" A five-part check-in to begin fostering neuroinclusive habits. (Act)

Optional (depending on the size): The Cost of Fitting In

A look into masking and the invisible labor many neurodivergent people face in order to conform. Participants reflect on their own experiences and how teams can build safer, more authentic cultures.
