Braaaains!: Neurodiversity and Coaching
Neurodiversity is a hot topic these days and with good reason. More people than ever are openly identifying themselves as autistic, as ADHDers, as dyslexic, or as other neurotypes. Even more people are not yet aware of their neurodivergence, though their challenges fit with descriptions of being neurodivergent.
Coaching fits beautifully with the neurodiversity movement as we assume that our clients are creative, resourceful, and whole, not broken or needing to be fixed in some way. But often coaches are hesitant to work with neurodivergent clients. Come to this presentation to learn about neurodiversity, the experience of being neurodivergent, and how you can partner with your neurodivergent clients to move them forward.
Learning Objectives:
• Define neurodiversity and different neurotypes
· Discover each client’s individual experience of being neurodivergent
· Synthesize coaching principles with the unique needs of neurodivergent clients
