Lead the Change

In the contemporary corporate landscape, it is becoming increasingly evident to organisations the importance of embracing diversity and fostering an inclusive work environment. A crucial facet of this involves extending support to neurodivergent employees, who may present with conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or other neurodivergences. Tailored outplacement services specifically designed for neurodivergent individuals play a pivotal role in ensuring that these employees receive the necessary support when navigating job transitions or organisational transformations.

Understanding Neurodivergence:

Neurodivergence refers to the natural variation in human brain function and behaviour, which includes a range of cognitive differences such as dyslexia, autism attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and more. 20% of the workforce is made up of those who have a neurodivergence with dyslexics making up the largest percentage at 10%!

Neurodivergent differences can impact how individuals think, learn, and interact in and out of the workplace. While neurodivergent individuals bring unique strengths and perspectives to the workplace, they may also face specific challenges that require targeted support and additional complexities that neurodivergent employees face.

    Testimonials

    I just wanted to reach out to you because I honestly feel that if it wasn’t for our sessions, I wouldn't have had the belief that I could complete a Master’s degree. I joined so many dyslexic community pages for resources for myself. I then had the privilege to meet you. Up until that point, I didn’t know anyone with dyslexia who was in academia. Talking to you and hearing all that you had achieved, and the strategies we discussed allowed and motivate me to pursue my master's. I can say I have officially completed my master’s degree and now working as an accredited exercise physiologist! I just wanted to say thank you. You really inspired me and instilled belief in me and those words of ‘Your superpower might be resilience and persistence’ have since stuck with me and always will. Thank you for not only inspiring myself but other dyslexics. I wish I had someone like you advocating for me from primary school.

She has felt like a dear friend in the process. Gentle, honest, and vulnerable but visionary within healthy boundaries. She knows that a business isn't just a business, from her own personal experiences. She has helped me make many big and important decisions. I know I wouldn't be where I am now without her expertise. Deepest gratitude."

    "I feel very fortunate to have had Shae Wissell assigned as my mentor under the Victorian Chamber Business Recovery and Resilience Mentoring Scheme. Not only was Shae knowledgeable and helpful about almost any business topic I broached, but she was also tremendously approachable and always had something valuable and insightful to offer. After each session, Shae left me feeling inspired, motivated, and grateful (and equipped with resources)! I can’t recommend Shae enough as a compassionate, relatable, and knowledgeable coach who was genuinely invested in helping me achieve my business goals and dreams."
