3.2 LionHeart Talks... Neurodiversity in the Workplace

What are some of the biggest barriers to better inclusion at work? In this episode, LionHeart host Jo Grant is joined by Vanessa Curtis, senior director at CBRE, RICS Governing Council member, and founder and chair of AbilityRE, a non-profit organisation that promotes awareness of disability and neurodiversity within the property industry. Vanessa’s journey began with her personal experiences of trying to get diagnoses and support for her own neurodivergent children – which would actually later lead to the ‘lightbulb moment’ that caused her to explore her own diagnosis of ADHD as an adult. We talk about: • Some of the challenges faced by neurodivergent people in the workplace… • … and the strengths and differences they may bring to your teams • Attitudes and experiences around neurodivergence in surveying • What’s behind a rise in the numbers of adult females with ADHD and autism • Things that can be put in place to help (spoiler: it doesn’t have to mean expensive or complicated!)
