4 | Neurodiversity at Work

This is a jam-packed episode! Annie talks candidly to fellow ADHDer Kate Halpin, Principle Neurodiversity Consultant at Employ For Ability.

They discuss her work, which focuses on helping organisations understand the benefits of hiring neurodivergent people as part of their social inclusion and diversity programs.

Topics covered include everything from leadership to recruitment, retention, the great resignation and skills shortage, the evolving workforce post-pandemic, rejection sensitivity, communication differences, psychological safety at work, self-advocacy, flexible work practices, masking and much more.

They almost made this into two separate episodes but figured that you can always pause and come back. Or binge the whole thing! ;)

Enjoy! x

In 2022, Annie founded NeuroAccess after a decade of practicing private and public law working for the Australian Government.

Annie she speaks at national and international conferences, consults and trains professionals on neuroaccessibility, and coaches neurodivergent adults and families to build neuroaccessible lives and advocate for themselves in the many systems (health, employment, education) that too often misunderstand neuroaccess needs.

In May 2022, Annie launched this podcast and simultaneously founded not-for-profit EDNA (Eating Disorders Neurodiversity Australia) where she stepped down as CEO in Jan 2023 partially due to health reasons but mostly due to having successfully achieved her main goal of influencing the first Australian Eating Disorder Strategy (released Aug 2023).
