Speaking, Workshops & Culture Work

Turn difference into your organisation's biggest advantage

Just because it's always been done a certain way doesn't mean it's the best way.

Traditional workplace cultures often leave talent on the table. Neurodivergent employees (those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and more) make up around 1 in 5 people, yet they are consistently under-supported and under-utilised. The result? High turnover, burnout, and missed innovation.

In the UK, 63% of neurodivergent employees report masking at work, hiding who they are just to get through the day. Masking is exhausting and directly linked to burnout.

51% have had to take time off work because of challenges linked to their neurodivergence.

And 1 in 5 report experiencing harassment or discrimination directly related to being neurodivergent.

That's not just a human issue. It's a business one. Disengagement, absenteeism and turnover are expensive. And worse, you're losing out on the loyalty, creativity and brilliance of people who could be driving your company forward.

Business growth visualization with statistics

Business Statistics:

  • Firms like SAP and EY report retention rates above 90% in their neurodiversity programmes.
  • JPMorgan Chase saw autistic employees in certain roles perform at 90-140% higher productivity than neurotypical peers, with fewer errors.
  • Deloitte found neurodiverse teams can be 30% more productive.

And here's the kicker:

When you design for neurodivergent people, everyone benefits. Clearer communication, more flexible policies, and a culture of psychological safety improves wellbeing and performance across the board.

Workshops & Culture Work

Ania and Dion-Rene

Together with my husband, Dion-Rene, we run interactive sessions that shift teams from "good intentions" to tangible change.

Our workshops help leaders and employees:

  • Check
    Build cultures where people feel safe, seen and supported
  • Check
    Learn tools for nervous system regulation, resilience and honest communication
  • Check
    Spot and reduce unintentional bias in hiring and management
  • Check
    Design systems and processes that work with human brains, not against them

We blend deep coaching with sharp insights and a touch of rebellion (because sometimes shaking things up is exactly what's needed).

Who We Work With

01

B Corps and impact-driven businesses who know culture is core to performance

02

Leaders who want to reduce turnover and retain brilliant, diverse minds

03

Organisations ready to replace "the way it's always been done" with smarter, more human ways of working
