Empower, elevate, excel: Personal journeys of neurodivergent leaders | LinkedIn (original) (raw)

About this event

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), and we recognize the importance of providing access to employment opportunities for all, including individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodiverse conditions. When given the chance to not only acquire a job, but also to advance and grow professionally within an organization, the lives of neurodivergent individuals can be greatly improved.

Businesses that embrace autism employment and put the resources into retaining, nurturing, and upskilling their neurodivergent colleagues have much to gain, especially when it comes to leadership. Neurodiversity can serve as a competitive advantage, playing a critical role in fostering innovation while elevating organizational success.

Join us for our upcoming 30-minute LinkedIn Live Event, where you’ll hear from Kym Benford of JLG and Rex Johnson of CAI as they share their first-hand experience as neurodivergent leaders within the workplace as well as discuss:
- Testimonials of their personal career journeys to becoming leaders
- Insight on how to best support and champion neurodivergent employees within the workplace
- How inclusive leadership practices like empathy and communication can make an impact
- Advice for neurodivergent individuals looking to advance in their careers
