I have a particular interest in neurodiversity and supporting clients seeking to attract, support and retain neurodiverse talent. I also enjoy working with clients to upskill their teams on different ways of understanding and resolving workplace conflict. I work closely with clients to deliver training that reflects their culture and values and support this with practical products that clients can use from day-to-day to address risk areas in their internal processes.
