Work designed for the minds you actually have

I help organisations design work for the minds they actually have, so different thinkers stay, perform and improve decisions.

Most organisations filter out useful difference before they ever see it: in hiring, in meetings, in how adjustments are requested. I find where that happens and help change it. As Global Lead of the Institute of Neurodiversity, I co-led its growth from 11 to 40 countries.

Why neuroinclusion is a performance issue

When neurodivergent professionals feel included, EY measured an average 10% gain in skill proficiency. Yet only 25% feel truly included at work, and 39% plan to leave their job within 12 months.

Source: EY Global Neuroinclusion at Work Study 2025, a survey of 1,603 neurodivergent and 508 neurotypical professionals.

The gain is there. Most organisations are not set up to collect it.
