Episode Five - In Conversation with Dr Nancy Doyle on ADHD
Manage episode 447265889 series 3600766
Episode Five of Scott-Parker Goes Live features Dr Nancy Doyle and is particularly well timed, as October marks ADHD Awareness Month with the theme "Awareness is Key!"
Dr Nancy Doyle, Founder Genius Within, is always absolutely fascinating: she must surely be one of the world’s leading authorities on neurodivergence and its impact on human beings in work and on the impact of work on human beings. A distinguished Occupational Psychologist, her scientific, lived and business experience could not be more relevant as she advises employers on how to liberate everyone’s contribution.
Two headlines for me from our conversation:
- ‘we need to focus most decidedly not on clinical diagnosis but on making it easier for people to do well on the job’ – and
- ‘neurodivergent people are canaries in the mineshaft for all us’
And do check out her answer to my question: ‘if neurodivergence is a disability, why do so many organisations talk about ‘disability and neurodiversity’: they would never say “disability and paraplegia”.
