We are facing a lot of economic uncertainty. The strategy we choose to take with our business right now will have a lasting impact.

Online growth hacks and digital strategies that convert paying clients. 2. Which sector will see massive growth? 3. Why empathetic leadership is essential now. 

For World Autism Month, I interviewed Adam Griffin Senior Consultant Occupational Therapist with Reach Out, on The Spencer Lodge Podcast. This was a topic that was close to my heart and I shared stories about how my sister, who has Asperger’s, was excluded from some aspects of society. Children with Autism don’t have anything wrong with them. They just have a different way of seeing the world and they operate differently. A metaphor that Adam uses to describe this is the difference between the operating system of a Mac and a PC. Adam discussed how we can better understand and support families and people with autism.
