I was continuously struggling, and the pendulum swung from highs of great success and achievement to lows of irrelevance and ostracization. I often thought, what is wrong with me? So, I found out. I was neurodiverse.
Too often, organisations unintentionally exclude different kinds of minds. The systems and norms of many workplaces accidentally frustrate and panic many neurodiverse humans. So, I set out to try and change the game.
All my work has been built by and for neurodiverse professionals, with one mission: to change the way we work. We help organisations reimagine recruitment, workflow, comms, management, and meeting culture to be more inclusive.
I believe that ND awareness will be a big driver in workplace design sooner rather than later. Done well, it will alleviate distress and burnout for the 20% of your colleagues who are neurodiverse, it will positively affect retention and wellbeing within your workforce, and it will improve efficiency and the quality of your outcomes. But I also believe that neurodiverse inclusion will become a survival skill for businesses in a changing future.
We’re at the start of a revolution in how work gets done. AI is already replacing many predictable, pattern-based tasks, and what we do at work will fundamentally change. Successful careers will be built on creativity, empathy, and lateral thinking.
These are the very skills that neurodivergent people often bring in abundance. In an AI-driven future, it will be those who think differently who shape what comes next. Businesses that embrace cognitive diversity now will be the ones that adapt, evolve, and thrive. That’s why I believe the future belongs to neurodiverse minds — and why this change is not only necessary, but urgent.
