Peckham Foundation Fall Speaker Series - Daniel Wendler (AFTERNOON SESSION)

Strength in Neurodiversity: Creating a Workplace Where Everyone Can Belong
What do the most successful businesses have in common? It's not a fancy logo, or a brilliant marketing strategy. 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. 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 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!

There will be an interactive Q&A session after the speech.

This event is a hybrid-event. We encourage you to attend in person and are offering the option to log on to join the LIVE stream.

The in-person event will be held at Peckham Inc. | 3510 Capital City Blvd. | Lansing, MI 48906
