About this Masterclass

Just because your brain is wired differently, does not mean you cannot lead authentically. Join this 2 day masterclass to learn how to:

  • Reframe your differences as superpowers by taking a positive (not deficit) approach to your neurodivergent uniqueness
  • Work smarter, not harder, by adopting small but powerful productivity hacks
  • Belong without having to “fit in” by leading with your authentic strengths and skills

Yes! In 2 days you will experience transformation and finish energised not exhausted.


Read on to learn more about your facilitator, the learning outcomes and the way in which this training is different to anything you’ve experienced before.
