Neurodiversity: A Workplace Asset (How Expert Diversity & Inclusion Consultants Can Help)

ADHD, Neurodiversity and ADHD Expert Coach
Defining Neurodiversity Neurodiversity refers to a difference in neurocognitive functioning. It is an all-encompassing term that refers to autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette’s syndrome, anxiety, OCD, depression, intellectual disability, and schizophrenia. Thankfully, the world is becoming more and more open to people who aren’t neurotypical. Instead, we should look at neurodivergent people as differently skilled, differently abled. With more companies figuring out ways to hire and accommodate neurodiversity within their organization, they often look to expert diversity and inclusion consultants who can make employees transitions to the workplace easier and ensure that certain accommodations can be in place to ensure the best environment possible. With some of the above disorders, people often struggle with social skills, but they tend to be far above average in everything else: problem-solving, analyzing, information processing,…

Adult ADHD and Relationships: How Expert ADHD Coaching Can Help

ADHD, Neurodiversity and ADHD Expert Coach
ADHD can be particularly devastating even to the best relationships. Perhaps your partner is not impressed by whatever you do anymore, or you feel they nag too much. As a result, you might begin to feel some emptiness, desperate to make your partner back off. If you experience these symptoms, the chances are that you have ADHD. And the worrisome thing is that partners or potential partners of people with ADHD often get frustrated and feel unappreciated. In the end, this only results in a damaging vicious cycle.

Pilot of Short-Format Intro to IEEE 7010-2020 Ethics Standard Live Training

Executive Leadership Coaching Blog
On Wednesday Zvikomborero Murahwi, Daniel Schiff, and I piloted the presentation we will be offering at the AAAS conference next month with a small focus group of friends and colleagues. Many thanks to our participants for their attendance and advice It was very helpful for us to get feedback, both from those who had not used or heard of the IEEE 7010-2020 standard before, and from other working group members who collaborated with us previously on the standard development. The biggest challenge moving forward and integrating everyone's feedback is in the short format. We had proposed a 90 minute workshop to AAAS, but were only accepted for a 45 minute workshop. We will do our best to implement as much of the feedback as possible into the 45 minute presentation…
