Lunch & Learn – Exploring work styles without centring diagnosis

This session will focus on helping consultants confidently explore how someone works best, without centring diagnosis. We will look at:

• How to have constructive conversations about work style preferences and productivity
• How individuals prefer to learn, work, communicate, prioritise and receive feedback
• Sensory and environmental preferences across varied workplaces
• Why many neurodivergent individuals may need support to identify their own preferences, particularly where long-term masking has reduced self-awareness

Duration: 45 minutes

Format: Online via Zoom
