Some people’s brains work differently. In this talk, you will learn how to harness differences within your team so that everyone can do their best work. Up to 40% of the population is neurodiverse and studies indicate this % is significantly higher in tech companies.
Anna will share her experiences as someone with dyslexia and ADHD to help you understand what neurodiversity is and the strengths and difficulties of neurodiverse people. She will show you how you can best work with, manage and recruit your neurodiverse colleagues.
You will learn:
- What dyslexia, ADHD and autism are and how they can be advantages in tech
- What support you should offer to enable everyone to do their best
- Which types of tasks will allow different people to shine
- What this means for recruitment and returning to the office
