Leading Neurodiverse Teams: The Essentials

The starting point for every leader who wants to create a workplace where all brains can thrive.

Neurodiversity is no longer optional knowledge for leaders, it’s essential. Yet most workplaces still run on hidden rules about what’s “normal” or “professional” that unintentionally exclude neurodivergent people.

This interactive workshop gives you the language, frameworks, and insights you need to begin leading neurodiverse teams with confidence. You’ll explore what neurodiversity really means, how different neurotypes show up at work, and how to shift your perspective on what inclusion looks like in practice.

Session date:

18 November, 10am -12 PM AEST

What you’ll learn

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

  • Define neurodiversity and neurodivergence, and explain why they matter in workplaces.

  • Differentiate between the neurodiversity paradigm and the pathology paradigm, and understand how each shapes leadership.

  • Describe some of the neurotypes under the neurodivergent umbrella, and appreciate the diversity of lived experiences.

  • Recognise how ideas of “normal” and “professional” can exclude people, often in ways leaders don’t notice.

  • Apply the SPACE framework (Sensory, Predictability, Acceptance, Communication, Empathy) at a basic level to identify opportunities for inclusion.

Who it’s for

This workshop is designed for:

  • Leaders and managers who want to unlock the full potential of diverse teams.

  • HR and People & Culture professionals seeking practical, future-focused inclusion strategies.

  • Neurodivergent professionals who want frameworks to support their own leadership journey.

Workshop format

  • Duration: 2 hours (including a short break)

  • Group size: Up to 10 participants (interactive, with space for reflection and discussion)

Why join?

You’ll leave with a new lens on leadership - one that helps you notice hidden barriers, question outdated norms, and take practical first steps towards genuine neuroinclusion.

This is not just another “awareness session.” It’s the foundation for transforming how you lead, today and in the future.
