The Power of Neurodiversity

About

This bitesize session will highlight the positive patterns and areas of strength across our neurodivergent community. It will then explore how we can work to those strengths to truly bring out the best in us and others, including the importance of developing a growth mindset. We will also consider the importance of Belonging within our community and how this can also encourage us to reach our full power. We hope this session will inspire and leave you with some great take-aways about stepping into your power as a Neurodivergent individual.
