Event Details
Around 1 in 7 people (more than 15% of people in the UK) are neurodivergent. For employers, this figure represents a significant proportion of the workforce, including existing employees and new applicants.
Our Neurodiversity in the Workplace online training provides practical advice and guidance for organisations wishing to develop and support a neurodiverse workforce.
You will develop a deeper understanding of neurological conditions such as, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and ADHD. The conditions will be described through a lived experience perspective, and the impact clearly explained. Improve your confidence to discuss neurodiversity with your employees and unlock the benefits at work.
Course leader and neurodiversity expert, Helen Eaton, will walk you through emerging best practice and common pitfalls to avoid. Engage with case studies on a range of challenges: ensuring inclusion in recruitment, training line managers to support neurodivergent employees; and accessing neurodivergent talent.
The practical application of legal requirements and reasonable adjustment requests will be explored. Understand where workplace adjustments can be made. How are other organisations creating a working environment where neodiverse minds can flourish?
During this one-day course, there will be opportunities to discuss your experiences of neurodiversity and share ideas on how to unlock the power of alternative thinking.

Event Details
Join Christine Brown-Quinn and Miranda Sharp and find out how to translate your personal story into a unique leadership approach & style.
Looking elsewhere for inspiration can sometimes be tricky as it takes us further away from who we are, what we have to offer, and how we’re at our best. Leaning into what you value, and the experiences you’ve had (the positive and the negative) is what makes you unique. The irony is the more you’re honest about the ‘face’ you’re sharing with the others, the more others like you and want to connect with you.
According to the 2023 Deloitte’s DEI Institute™, 60% of workers report ‘covering’ (hiding who they really are) at work within the last 12 months. This is nearly the same percentage (61%) of respondents who reported covering at work in their 2013 report. It doesn’t appear that the pandemic had lasting effect in making us more human at work.
Christine Brown-Quinn, The Female Capitalist® welcomes data science entrepreneur Miranda Sharp to the Career Masterclass Series to hear how she has shaped her powerful and distinctive leadership style by unreservedly owning the joy and pain of her personal story.
To find out how to translate your personal story into a unique leadership approach & style, join the webinar “Make the Person You Are Your Competitive Advantage” on Thursday, the 25th of April 2024 at noon London.
Look forward to “seeing” you on Thursday, the 25th of April at noon London time.

Event Details
Too many women across the world face inequalities that prevent them from being the very best that they deserve to be. Women also face unique challenges and pressures – globally, and here in the UK. In order for societies, communities and workplaces to thrive, we need equity and equality.
What kind of leader do you want to be?
We need all genders to be committed to this transformation. We need all leaders to be committed to this transformation. And when we say ‘leaders’ – we mean you. When we talk about ‘leader’ it is not just in a traditional position of power such as a CEO, rather you as an individual, as a leader, in your daily lives – you as an individual with the ability to use your own influence and make an effective difference.
This event is open to any gender.
The objective of this workshop is to: provide the attendees with tools to feel and be more resilient, empowered and self-assured, to go forward in tackling systemic inequalities day-to-day at micro and meso levels, to contribute to tackling of gender inequality. We want to support you to further identify and harness your authentic selves. You will be supported to rethink your self-limiting beliefs, improve stakeholder management and identify impactful and sustainable strategies to optimise your potential.

Event Details
This conference serves as a platform to scrutinise and debate the authenticity of EDI efforts and challenge ineffective action.
The body of evidence showing the business and productivity benefits of diverse and inclusive workplaces is clear and growing. However, with an increasing backlash towards EDI, ongoing under-investment in management, and rapid changes to our economy, environment and society, addressing the complex factors that stall inclusive growth is more important than ever before.
Join us for a day of debate, challenge and practical action as we look to empower managers, leaders, organisations, and policy-makers to close gaps and make the case for better management practice that enables more individuals and organisations to thrive.
Don’t miss the opportunity to shape the discussion around inclusive growth and see workplaces where everyone can thrive, irrespective of their background.
By attending this event you will:
- Challenge the status quo – identify and dismantle the barriers that hinder progress and foster a culture of accountability and innovation to inspire real, measurable change within organisations and industries.
- Learn from, and network with industry leaders, management experts, and thought leaders who have demonstrated a commitment to driving genuine change.
- Take away practical ideas to drive genuine change within your organisation and wider society.
