Allegra Chapman | From Awareness to Action: Fostering Neurodiversity in Your Workplace
Today, Allegra Chapman, a business strategist and communication expert, joins me to explore neurodiversity in the workplace.
Allegra begins by emphasising that there is a broad spectrum of neurodivergence, and that one neurodivergent person will not fit under the same umbrella as another. Reflecting on her own personal story, Allegra shares some of the challenges that neurodivergent people face in the workplace. We discuss how employers may find accommodating to this broad spectrum a challenge, however it is important to keep your focus on creating a space as comfortable as possible, providing personalised support when required and ultimately celebrating this level of diversity that will help your business thrive.

Sarah Furness | From Combat to Corporate: Embracing Discomfort for Leadership Growth
Discomfort is something that none of us enjoy. But what if leaning into discomfort can help us become better leaders?
Join this fascinating conversation with Sarah Furness, a former combat helicopter pilot and current keynote speaker, as we discuss the benefits of discomfort, and why leaders should be embracing it. Sarah starts by sharing the diverse discomfort that she has personally experienced, from bullets being fired, to delivering a presentation within a strict time limit, and explains how much we can grow just from leaning into discomfort. We continue by discussing how organisations can ensure there is a culture of encouraging discomfort, and how leaders are essential in role-modelling a space of inspiration and bravery.
