DivergenThinking

We exist to create opportunities for the Neurodiverse to live fulfilling lives enabling everyone to maximise their strengths and support each other to be their ‘best selves’. We need to help everyone understand that we are all neurodiverse, everybody’s brain is wired differently. When we learn to maximise our strengths we improve mental wellbeing and create high performing individuals and teams. We want everyone to realise they are likely not currently playing consistently to their strengths. We believe given the right environment we can all enhance our capabilities and mental wellbeing. For that to occur, we feel strongly that managers probably don't have the skillsets to best lead neurodiverse teams, and that businesses and those responsible for hiring are not: • Writing job specs, and job advertisements in the best way to attract the neurodiverse • Helping recruiters and leaders challenge their own unconscious bias, using interview techniques that are neurodiverse sensitive and knowing how to identify the capabilities necessary for success in the role that may be masked by the presentation they see in the room. We believe that the outcome for business will: • Be more inclusive, not just based on sex, race, religion, but on brain diversity that affects the bottom line • Be more entrepreneurial • Unearth alternative and often better solutions to problems • Reduce staff churn/turnover • Improve both revenue and profitability Positively impact customer satisfaction, through teams understand how best to deal with a variety of customer types, and to recognise the differences and deal with people in a more appropriate manner. Worth noting it will often be the Neurodiverse who are more likely to be creative, take risks, put failure at the back of their mind, take risks, and start a business.
