This groundbreaking panel brings together neurodivergent leaders who have navigated/are navigating these challenges and transformed them into opportunities for growth and innovation.

What to Expect
Join us for an authentic conversation that goes beyond basic employment to explore:

– Approaches to self-advocacy and professional development
– Real stories of career evolution and growth
– Practical strategies for workplace navigation
– Techniques for leveraging neurodivergent strengths
– Methods for building sustainable, fulfilling career
