In this interactive session, Mel Francis will explore what it means to coach through a neurodiversity lens – moving beyond labels and diagnosis to truly understand the individual.
We’ll consider:
- What neurodiversity really means in the coaching context
- How to recognise and respond to different thinking and processing styles
- The impact of masking, fatigue, and past experiences on coaching engagement
- How to create psychologically safe coaching spaces
- Practical strategies for adapting your approach while staying person-centred
