The diversity of brains: neurodiversity in the professional environment

Recognizing, understanding and supporting AD(H)S, autism, giftedness, dyslexia

This webinar is held in German.
More and more people identify as neurodivergent, i.e. they think, learn and work differently than the average person. This results in fundamental differences in working style and motivation, which on the one hand often creates a great deal of suffering for those affected and on the other represents a major challenge for managers and colleagues . Raising awareness of this is extremely important in order not to prevent the potential for innovation and analytics, but to appreciate and promote it. In this webinar, we will provide you with the necessary basic knowledge, practical approaches and communication skills for supporting neurodivergent people.

Contents

Fundamentals of neurodivergence in the professional environment 

  • Definition and delimitation of terms. 
  • How do I recognize AD(H)S and autism, for example? 
  • Symptoms, suffering, prognosis, course and treatment options. 
  • Differences between the sexes. 
  • Explanatory models: How does a mental illness develop? What is stress? 

Options for action and conducting discussions 

  • Psychological conversation skills in dealing with neurodivergence: What is experienced as helpful, what is not?
