About this leqture:

Innovative thinking doesn’t dwell within the comfort of “normal”. What is normal? We are starting to unravel how common it is to be cognitively different. Learning about and including these differences in our DEI efforts unlocks powerful potential and skillful contributions. Explore neurodiversity through Elisabeth Wiklander whose talk will give a window into her life as an autistic. What are the challenges hidden underneath a successful surface and how can the workplace become an ally to the neurodivergent workforce? Neurodiversity is more than a market buzzword, it highlights human rights issues with a paradigm that will play a crucial part in our pursuit of societal goals, minimizing injustices, reaching greater inclusion and extracting maximum benefits out of human talent.
