Determined to make your organisation neuroinclusive but hitting a wall?

You’ve got so much enthusiasm but so little time. You’re busy running an ERG alongside your day job or you’re trying to raise awareness of the endless important EDI topics as the company’s EDI champion.

I’ve been there. It’s frustrating. Overwhelming. Stressful.

Scaling neuroinclusion is crucial but it’s not easy, and it can feel like a really slow process.

With so many employees to educate about neurodiversity, how do you ensure everyone knows everything they need to?

You can't really. It's almost impossible.

Resources - a deep understanding of how to use our tools, frameworks and workbooks (and your own copies of all resources)
A plan - you'll create your own personalised plan to embed neuroinclusion in your organisation

The NeuroNavigator^® programme is run by me, Jess Meredith

Let me start with what I’m not (not your typical way of doing things!)

I’m not a medical professional.
I’m not a scientist.
I’m not a therapist.

All wonderful professions and bring really valuable expertise to our world.

However, my focus is on the practical side of neurodiversity and how differences in how we operate and work can impact collaboration at work.

I’ve worked in numerous roles in large organisations, startups and scale ups. I know what the barriers are and I know how to break them down. I know what it’s like to be so passionate about creating change in an organisation but struggling to make it happen. I’ve been there. I’ve run ERGs. I’ve worked in EDI. I really do get it.

I specialise in simplifying complex topics, and enabling people to create change with simple, step by step approaches. My methods resonate because they’re not scientific. I will explain what you need to know about neurodiversity as it relates to the workplace. But I won’t bamboozle you with more knowledge and science than you need.

And I do all this in a fun way. You won’t just be listening to me talking, that’s too boring to create the change we actually need! It’s packed full of interactive exercises and the chance to ‘do’ rather than just ‘listen’.

I’m also neurodivergent. And have neurodiverse children. So I bring lived experience alongside many years of professional experience.

I’ve worked with Accenture, the NHS, the Adecco Group, Deustche Bank, Virgin Media O2 and countless others.

I’m so looking forward to working with you!

Honestly, you are so fantastic at what you do! Brilliant feedback on the sessions, once again. Really excited for what we can do next!

Frances Kier, Learning business partner

THANKYOU! You are so brilliant, EVERY single time. I think you will help us to make a huge difference for our people, and I can’t express how big that is.

Keep on going Jess, the work you do is so important.

Nisha Marwaha, Director - People relations and DE&I.

This training has been one of the most engaging and impactful things I have done so a big thank you!
