Neurodiversity is not new. It has always been part of the natural variation of the human brain. What is changing is awareness. Today, up to 15–20% of the global population is neurodiverse, yet many individuals spend significant energy masking their differences to appear “normal,” often hiding strengths that can significantly benefit teams and organizations.

This session explores what neurodiversity really means, how masking impacts performance and wellbeing, and how organizations can create environments where neurodiverse individuals can thrive. Participants will gain practical, low-cost strategies to improve inclusion, unlock productivity, and design work environments that support different ways of thinking, working, and communicating.
