What makes you weird? And what are the secret little characteristics or traits about yourself that you try to hide, ignore, or shut down because you’re afraid of someone judging – or worst, you hide them from yourself because you fear it might stop you from achieving the success you know is possible for you?
Today, I’m joined by Nora Selmeczi, who after a successful career working in corporate and NGO space and their own journey with autism, founded Weirdly Successful with friends and business partners Adam Dobay and Livia Farkas. The social enterprise is dedicated to creating self-compassionate frameworks for neurodivergent entrepreneurs, and in the workplace.
Presentation for Joyfully Different
How to Run Your Business on Neurodivergence
This presentation was delivered for Joyfully Different.
Whether it’s ADHD, Autism, SPD or SLDs, typical business advice goes right out the window. If you have more than a couple of neurodivergent traits, running your own business comes with unique challenges that defy the most common business, management, and productivity advice.
In this power hour, we’ve got a mindset-shifting masterclass to declutter the decades of horrible advice, so you can finally stop feeling bad for having a brain with unique wiring.
Q&A for Brighton Chamber of Commerce
This presentation was created for Brighton Chamber of Commerce.
- Awareness and diagnoses of adult ADHD, Autism and other related neurodivergent conditions have skyrocketed since 2020.
- And no wonder: the pandemic launched a Godzilla-sized wrecking ball at work-life boundaries and thrown established work patterns into chaos. The silver lining: for thousands of people, this radical change turned the spotlight onto underlying neurodivergent traits that were there all along.
- And as the studies keep rolling in, it’s becoming clear: neurodivergence has always been here, it’s much more widespread than previously thought, and it’s not going away.
- But despite the overall rise in awareness, traditional ways of working, and views on business structure and productivity are proving hard to shift.
- A better understanding of how neurodivergence manifests across our work life can lead to effectively inclusive implementations of better workplace and business management practices. This is the way to sustainable outcomes both in productivity and in mental health.
- In this Q&A, Amy Lishman, Head of Member Engagement at Brighton Chamber will chat to Adam Dobay and Livia Farkas, founders of Weirdly Successful, a Brighton-based initiative providing practical strategies for people wanting to balance neurodivergent work and life.
- We’ll be talking about how to start the process of unlearning neurotypical assumptions about how business should work, what success should look like, and how incorporating the personal experience of neurodivergence can effectively rebalance work life.
