Strength in Neurodiversity: How to Create a Workplace Where Everyone Can Belong

September 17, 2025 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET

Featuring Dr. Daniel Wendler, Clinical Psychologist and Founder, ImproveYourSocialSkills.com

Successful organizations owe their success to their team. When organizational leaders encourage their employees to reach their full potential, the company flourishes.

Unfortunately, many organizations squander the potential of their neurodivergent employees, such as those with autism or ADHD. Neurodivergent people might struggle to get a fair hearing for their ideas due to stigma, or might find it difficult to work at their full potential in an environment that isn’t set up to support them.

Conversely, organizations that support their neurodivergent workers have a powerful competitive advantage. And it’s not hard to do. By following a few simple principles, any organization can create an environment where a neurodiverse team can excel – and where everyone feels great about showing up each day.

Learn from autistic neurodiversity expert Dr. Daniel Wendler the best practices for creating an inclusive work environment that celebrates and empowers neurodivergent employees. You’ll gain practical tools for helping your organization become a more inclusive workplace, whether you’re a leader or team member, and whether you are neurotypical or neurodivergent yourself. Don’t miss it!

2024 Signature Seminar

Radical Respect: How to Work Together Better

December 4, 2024 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm EST

Featuring: Kim Scott, Author & Co-founder of Radical Candor

During this Signature Seminar, Kim will describe what a Radically Respectful workplace is: one that optimizes for collaboration and honors each employee’s individuality. What gets in the way of Radical Respect? Bias, prejudice and bullying. Too often we conflate these three, which can make the problems they create feel monolithic and insoluble.

But it doesn’t have to be so bad! When faced with a difficult problem, it’s useful to break it down into its component parts. Kim will offer some simple definitions, and some effective responses to each. She will identify the things that upstanders and leaders can do to ensure that we build a culture where everyone does the best work of their lives and enjoys working together.

In this talk you will learn:

• The difference between bias, prejudice and bullying
• Some suggested responses to bias, prejudice and bullying
• Some additional ways that upstanders can intervene
• Some practical, tactical ways that leaders can prevent bias, prejudice and bullying on their teams.
