Organisations often struggle to attract or retain talented staff due to a lack of reasonable adjustments. Sam Warner, a Neurodivergent Communication Specialist, leverages her lived experience as an Autistic/ADHD woman to enhance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies for leaders. By fostering loyalty, diverse thinking, innovation, and increased profits, organisations benefit while spending less on recruitment due to reduced attrition. Since 2008, Sam has delivered impactful keynotes, training, and coaching for diverse clients, including Nokia, Ocado, The Royal Ballet School, Welsh Water, and the NHS. With an energetic delivery style, Sam draws from her varied industry experiences, leaving the audience with engaging memories and inspiration.Whether you are having difficulties with spoken communication or expressing yourself clearly in conversation, or apprehensive about presentations and speeches and feel you lack confidence in front of others; I can help you to Get Your Message Across. Working with individuals and teams, especially Neurodivergent adults. The Rules of Engagement is a short 7 part course designed to mend broken communication in teams where Autistic adults work. This holistic approach ensures the whole team feel respected, valued and happy. Not everyone who is Autistic knows they are, and it can be difficult and confronting to try to "out" them, but with this course, this is not necessary - the difficulties can be circumnavigated and the results speak for themselves. Harmony, increase productivity, fewer grievances, less absenteeism, reduction in stress, better time management, more honesty and a more loyal team.To find out more email me at sam@get-your-message-across.comeurodivergent
