Neurodiversity:
because great minds
don’t think alike

Watch this neurodiversity webinar on-demand to boost your understanding of neurodiversity in the workplace. Devon Lowndes, the co-founder of Self Agency, shines a light on neurodiversity and gives attendees the tools to help support neurodivergent employees and evolve their workplace culture.

Neurodiversity is everyone’s business

Equality isn’t treating everyone the same. After all, we all have unique brains and ambitions. Neurodiversity is everybody. It’s a case of building an environment where we support everyone’s needs and goals.

People with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ADHD, autism, OCD, Tourette syndrome, mental health illnesses and acquired neurodiversity (such as trauma) have a wealth of strengths to bring to our society. It’s time that they were recognised and valued.

But where do we begin?

This session is a great place to start.

Devon guides you through:

A white square in the top left corner overlaps a dark blue arrow pointing down and to the right, casting a sharp shadow on a light background—an abstract nod to neurodiversity and great minds thinking differently.

What is neurodiversity?

It’s a term we often hear, but what do we mean? What is neurotypical? What is neurodivergent? Devon covers all bases.

The strengths of difference

Why does difference make your team stronger?

A white rectangle is centred on a light grey background, with three dark blue rectangles—symbolising great minds—partially overlapping the top right, bottom centre, and left side of the image.

How to build physiologically safe environments

Only when we feel physically safe can team members bring their whole selves to work.

A dark blue diamond shape, a dark blue plus sign, and two empty white squares are arranged in a grid pattern on a light background, symbolising Great Minds and the celebration of neurodiversity.

Practical resources

Devon shares helpful next steps professionals and businesses can take to improve.

A woman uses sign language whilst a man stands near a projection screen and a banner that reads “Building an inclusive future,” highlighting the importance of neurodiversity in a bright room with large windows.

Who is this for?

This webinar is best suited to leaders in the workplace – your job title might sound like DEI lead or People Director.

If you’re a professional working outside the corporate space but are looking to understand and improve your knowledge of neurodiversity, this is also a great session for you.
